- This is the main article for StarShop. For the category, see Category:StarShop.
The StarShop is a sub-menu of the Market where players can purchase Rare Monsters and exclusive Decorations with Starpower. It was introduced in Version 1.3.6.
Rare Monsters[]
Rare Natural Monsters and Rare Fire Monsters are available to purchase from the StarShop on a periodic basis. Currently a promotion called "Rare Trios" runs every two weeks. This makes two Natural Rares and one Fire Rare available for 5 days, with them being discounted at 50% off for the first 48 hours. Note that Monsters are not available to breed when available to purchase in the StarShop.
Monsters can only be purchased for an Island if they can exist on that Island. For example, you can buy a Rare Noggin on Plant Island, but not on Cold Island. Monsters bought from the StarShop are eggs and must be incubated just like normal eggs before they can be placed on an Island. The Nursery must be empty to purchase an egg.
Also note that only Natural and Fire Rares can be bought in the StarShop. Rarethereals, Rare Seasonal Monsters and Rare Mythical Monsters are never available in the StarShop.

Decorations[]
The following Decorations are available from the StarShop. These are available all-year and all-day.
Decoration | Image | Cost | Release | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Thumpies Totem, Too | 200 | 1.3.6 | The magic of the trees that connects the realm of Thingia with the Thumpieverse is also at the root of their shared relationship with the Monster World. That's how we end up with artifacts like this other Thumpies Totem, which tumbled across dimensions to arrive here. While prior incarnations featured other Thumpies, this one celebrates iziT, TawooO, and Anyanka. | |
Hammock | 200 | 2.2.2 | Don't be fooled - this Decoration won't add an extra Bed to your Island - that's the job of Castles and Hotels. Still, it's perfect for a lazy snooze. | |
Star Rocks | 300 | 1.3.6* | There was some controversy as to what these floating relics should be called. One of the suggestions that was 'floated' around was Rockstars, since they positively radiate Starpower energy. However, Shugabush of Plant Island tells us that means something different where it comes from, so the monsters went with Star Rocks instead. | |
Bingo Bango Bongos | 300 | 2.2.2 | Combine a tropical parasol with some stout drums, and bingo bango bongo, you've got Bingo Bango Bongos. | |
Smunkit | 350 | 2.2.2 | A Smunkit, the abbreviated form of a Smunkin-drumkit, is the result of raising Smunkins to enormous size and then capitalizing on their percussive potential. | |
Striking Bulbs | 600 | 2.2.2 | Sure, the name 'Striking Bulbs' could refer to the fact that they're pretty to look at, but those in the know insist it's a reference to their propensity for striking conga drums. | |
Freed Thing | 500 | 1.3.6 | Through the combined efforts and resourcefulness of the Singing Monsters, one of the Ambered Things has been set loose! Flutter relates that the Realm of Thingia, from which it originates, is in fact older than the Monster World, but that it was equally affected by the same events that trapped Kayna, because of the binding magic of the trees. Whatever that means. | |
Mount Knottshurr | 750 | 1.3.6 | Fashioned in the likeness of the mythical Mountain Morsel, Mount Knottshurr is made up of Bubblerite shavings held together with slobber paste. Despite its artificial origin, it seems to have taken on a life of its own. What else could you expect in the magical Monster World? | |
Innertuba | 750 | 2.2.2 | The Innertuba's tread-like texture suggests it may have one time been part of a wheel, but we're quite pleased with the new form it's taken. | |
Elmenco Stump | 800 | 2.2.2 | The Elmenco Tree grows to a short height, then part of the trunk falls away to reveal a beautiful guitar-shaped carving on the inside. It inspires dancing of great emotional intensity for all who pluck its strings. | |
Swurlee Tree | 900 | 2.2.2 | The Swurlee Tree's great drooping palms resemble candy swirls. The nuts it drops are rumored to be delicious, but they always dissolve before they hit the ground, so no one's ever sampled them. | |
Sweetstreamz Tree | 1,000 | 2.2.2 | Sweetstreamz are made of this: fluffy floating foliage, supendous streamers of the softest blue, and gleaming stars that dangle and twinkle. Who are we to disagree? | |
PU System | 1,000 | 2.2.2 | Contrary to the traditional PA system, the PU system dispenses odors instead of messages, The inventors claim that there's a huge market for scent-tech... but we're a little apprehensive. | |
Spatial Sapling | 1.200 | 2.2.2 | This is what happens when pollen from outer Space germinates in Natural soil. There's speculation that the giant glowing pod is actually an egg sack, but no one is brave enough to poke it. | |
Boss Monument | 1,250 | 1.3.6 | This superb statue celebrates the five Quad-element Monsters that call the Natural Islands home. Nicknamed 'The Bosses', these dynamic figures serve as role models to the other monsters, and epitomize the cooperative power of harmony. | |
Ockulo Tree | 1,750 | 2.2.2 | This type of tree springs into existence after a Riff has molted and the feathers interlace with local root networks. Sometimes when it sways in the breeze, it makes a faint guitar shredding sound, prompting Monsters to comment: "Ockulo's Riffed." | |
The Thunker | 2,000 | 2.2.2 | Ahh, nothing like fine art! The Thunker depicts a Monster engaged in Thunking, the act of thinking Thunks, profound thinks that are never spoken aloud. And it even has a pecking bird in the ancient "Art Monstreau" style - divine! | |
Cold Globe | 2,000 | 2.2.2 | Why does everyone insist on calling this Decoration a Snow Globe? It's not like the Element is called Snow, it's called Cold. We're very insistent on this point. | |
3,000 | 2.2.2 | Givutawai, givutawai, givutawai now! This Tree is often the brunt of bogus givaways and suspicious scams... e.g. "You're the one millionth visitor to this Island! Claim prize now!" But all it really wants is to share its tiny trinkets, which are a bit more offbeat that [sic] their bright packaging might suggest. |
*The Star Rocks were added to non-Natural Islands in later updates, see the Star Rocks page for more details.
Rare Promotions[]
From the StarShop's addition in November 16th, 2015 to update 2.0.0 in September 1st, 2016, Rares were permanent fixtures of the StarShop. During this time every week, two Rares were selected to be 50% off. This promotion shared the same name as the following Rare Duets. Afterwards, Rares became available on a rotational basis through various promotions.
These started with the second iteration of Rare Duets, which lasted from October 4th, 2016 to November 16th, 2017. Rare Duets featured two Natural Rares that were available for a full week, with the next promotion starting right after the other, ensuring that there'd always be two Rares available to buy in the StarShop. (With the exception of a couple Seasonal Events.) The two Monsters that were selected in a Duet would always add up to all five natural elements. So Quads were always paired with Singles and Triples were always paired with Doubles.
The next promotion was Rare Solos, which lasted from February 5th, 2018 to August 21st, 2020. Rare Solos featured one Natural Rare that was available for 5 days, with it being discounted by 50% for the first 48 hours. The introduction of Rare Solos also permanently doubled the price of Monsters in the StarShop, meaning the 50% discount made the Monster cost the same as before 2018. This promotion ran once every two weeks.
The last promotion are the Rare Trios, which have been running from October 12th, 2020 to present day. Rare Trios borrow elements from both past promotions. It features two Natural Monsters and one Fire Monster available, with the two Natural Monsters being the same pairs from past Rare Duet promotions. Like Rare Solos, these promotions also run every two weeks for 5 days, with a 50% discount for the first 48 hours.

Notes[]
- The StarShop was initially only available on the Natural Islands, but was made available on other Islands in later updates.
- In Version 2.3.4, the StarShop was expanded to be on the Fire Islands and the Magical Islands (excluding Magical Sanctum). The Star Rocks, however, remained exclusive to the Natural Islands until the Natural Rares and Epics were added to the Magical Islands.
- In Version 3.0.4, the StarShop was made available on Shugabush Island and Ethereal Island, alongside new Star Rocks.
- In Version 4.1.1, the StarShop was made available on Mythical Island, alongside new Star Rocks for it, Seasonal Shanty, and Magical Sanctum.
- The designs of two StarShop decorations are based on those of two Mythical Decorations, formerly exclusive to the PlayStation Vita. Specifically, the Thumpies Totem, Too resembles the Thumpies Totem, and Mount Knottshurr resembles the Mountain Morsel.
- When the first Rare Trio was made available, the StarShop was accidentally made accessible on The Colossingum through the Mailbox. This allowed StarShop decorations be placed on the Island, which will still remain on the Island to this day unless sold.
- The Duet for Rare Thumpies and Rare Fwog was only available once, while every other Rare Duet promotion was available more than once in the entire 43 weeks of the Rare Duet's lifetime.
- It costs 16,850 to buy one of every StarShop Decoration.
