“ | The Rare Scups' bioluminescent spurs are perfectly suited to its predominantly noctural [sic] lifestyle. Sure, it performs along nonchalantly during the day, but it's total mystery what it does after the sun sets. Every once in a while, a company of ambitious Monsters will resolve to stay up long enough to witness a Rare Scups in nighttime action, but the siren song of the Castle's beds always proves too much to resist. | ” |

Description[]
Rare Scups is a Triple-Element Rare Monster. It was added on April 24th, 2015 during Version 1.3.3. As a Rare Monster, it is only available at select times. It is best obtained by breeding or by purchasing from the StarShop. Its breeding combination is the same as its Common variant. By default, its breeding time is 15 hours and 30 minutes long. Although a Rare Monster, Rare Scups still does not have high Coin production.
Song[]
- See Scups.
Breeding[]
Rare Scups can be bred the same way as a Common Scups, using Monsters that combine to provide all the elements of Air, Earth and Water. Possible combinations include:
Because Tweedle and Fwog take much less time to hatch than both Quibble and Cybop, the first combination will provide more breeding opportunities in the same time period (on average).
Any kind of breeding attempt which includes a Common Scups may fail, and give a Rare Scups as a result instead of the Common Scups. This includes all of the breeding combinations that cannot ever work in the usual way. If you are trying to get a Rare Scups as a result of breeding failure, the most effective combination is to breed a Common Scups with a Quad-Element Monster, since the offspring will always be a Scups, except in the rare case that an Ethereal Monster is the result. (This assumes that the probability of getting a Rare Scups instead of a Common Scups does not depend on which Monsters are used for breeding.)
The Rare versions of any Monster can be used for breeding instead of the Common version. In addition, it is possible to breed a Rare Scups and a regular Scups together. The outcome will always be a Scups and if a Rare Scups is available at that time, it may result from this combination.
Availability[]
- For a list of when this Monster has been available, see: Breeding Availability
Rare Scups, like all Rare Natural and Fire Monsters, is only available for breeding and buying some of the time during special events. Examples of such events:
- All Monsters that appear on a certain Island.
- All Monsters with a specific element.
- All Monsters with a specific theme.
- A seemingly random selection of a handful of Monsters.
In particular, they are likely to appear during Special Occasions.
The exception is Rare Fire Monsters on Amber Island. These are evolved in the Crucible, and are available any time after the Crucible is unlocked (by having 15 Monsters on Amber Island).
Likes[]
Every Monster has different things that they like. For every unique object that they like that's placed near the Monster, the Monster's happiness will increase by 25%. Placing more than one of the same liked item near a Monster won't increase its happiness by an additional amount. If there's a Unity Tree on the Island, items don't need to be near the Monster. Below are the things liked by Rare Scups:
- Scups (requires level 7)
- Eerie Remains (level 14)
- Bass String Bridge (level 19)
- Tree Hut (level 17) ()

Statistics[]
Earning Rate and Maximum Income[]
Earning rate is in Coins per minute and depends on Happiness % (Likes increase Happiness) and Monster Level. Each Monster also has a maximum amount of income it can hold at a time. Increasing the Monster's Level also increases this limit.
Feeding Monsters[]
Each Monster needs to be fed four times before it reaches the next level. Increasing the Monster's level increases the Coins earned per minute, as well as the maximum Coins earned.

Egg Consumption[]
While trying to breed other Monsters (particularly Monsters with a very low chance of breeding), the following Rare Wublins and Celestials can be used to "dispose of" Rare Scups eggs immediately instead of putting them into a Nursery and having that Nursery not be available. Note that doing this for Rare Wublins will cause the Wublin to stop producing currency and the eggs will not expire.

Note that Monster eggs can only be "disposed of" before awakening Rare Wublins and Celestials; afterwards those Monsters will not accept any eggs. Also note that Monsters to which you have already disposed the number of Rare Scups eggs that it accepts, will no longer be available as a "recycle bin" for such eggs. Rare Wublins have no time limit, and their egg inventories cannot be reset. Awakened Celestials only accept eggs during their corresponding Celestial month. When being zapped into Celestials as a Flex Egg, Rare Scups is not required for the Celestial to ascend.

Notes[]
- Rare Scups was one of the last Monsters released in the StarShop as part of a Rare Duet. The other was Rare Furcorn.
- If you look closely, you can faintly see that Rare Scups has the same leg stripes as its Common variant.
