- #1Ghazt
Keys:
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The extraordinary Ghazt only manifests itself when conditions are absolutely perfect. Imbued with the Ethereal power of Plasma, its sleek frame and ability to become intangible are ideal for slipping in and out of places unnoticed. However, these traits also make it vulnerable to accidental interdimensional travel. It plays well with the other Monsters, but just like a cat, it sometimes prefers to be alone... or in the company of others of its kind.
- #2Grumpyre
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Another of the mysterious Ethereals, you can never fully tell what kind of mood the Grumpyre is in. Thanks to its shifting eyes and mouth as it gurgles forth its song, it might appear sad when really it's happy, or afraid when it's actually having a blast. This makes sense, since it embodies the essence of Shadow - always a bit obscured, and able to unnerve even the most intrepid of Monsters.
- #3Reebro
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Of all the creatures known in the multiverse, the Reebro is right up there with the strangest. Little more than an oversized brain to begin with, this Ethereal beast develops a mechanical body using its instinctual technological know-how. The Reebro, or simply 'Bro' as it is affectionately called by its fellow Monsters, is a laid-back character who lives for fun and has the scoop on all the latest trends. It's always willing to assist others with their 'Mech'-nical difficulties - even if its go-to solution is to 'turn it off and then turn it on again.
- #4Jeeode
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The wise Jeeode is renowned for its ability to see all sides of a situation. Harnessing the Ethereal power of Crystal, it pictures each scenario as sitting in the center of a giant prism, looking at each facet one at a time. Then, it somehow creates a solution that leaves everyone smiling. Because of this refined perspective, Jeeodes are first-rate instrumentalists, never missing a note.
- #5Humbug
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The Humbug is the incarnation of the misunderstood Ethereal element of Poison. When it buzzes its wings fast enough, it can open up and glide on supersonic dimensional highways from universe to universe. Humbugs naturally enjoy warm weather, and are drawn to humid places where the hum produced by their wings has the finest tone.
- #6Whisp
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Even though it may look like the Whisp doesn't get out too often, nothing could be further from the truth. It loves to swoop, glide and careen through the phantasmagorical terrain of Ethereal Island, entertaining other Monsters with its mellifluous voice and charming conversational skills. Whisps don't cast reflections in mirrors, which makes it difficult to preen their stylish hairdos.
- #7Nebulob
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The little-understood Nebulob is one of the few Monsters born without a predisposition to music. Instead, it is something that the Nebulob works on all its life, constantly researching new and exciting genres to learn from and experiment with. The elaborate exo-suit it dons aids in the creation of its own special style, a dulcet mix of machine and spirit. If pressed, the Nebulob will confess its favorite musical genre as 'Rhythm & Ooze.
- #8Sox
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
According to monster lore, the ancestors of the Sox were self-conscious of the gaping holes in their tails. Over time, it was discovered that eating precious stones spurred the growth of peculiar metal pads over the holes. Quite by accident, Soxes learned they could use them, along with their tube-like snouts, to create smooth musical riffs! The age-old mystery of 'What does the Sox say' has now been solved.
- #9Jellbilly
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
This rootin'-tootin' Ethereal is something of a legend to the scavenging Cybops of the neighboring dimension. Their cycloptic vision and distinctive vocal twang are modeled after the Jellbilly's own. Even though they may never meet face-to-face, Jellbillies generously return every piece of Cybop fan mail they receive, taking advantage of their many tentacles to write several replies at once.
- #10Arackulele
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Multi-limbed and multi-talented, the Ethereal Monster known as the Arackulele experiences no greater joy than when it's plucking and strumming on its homemade chordophone. Its rousing and inspirational musical stylings are emblematic of its whole attitude towards life: even though we are all just specks in the vastness of the multiverse, when enough Monsters join together in harmony, anything is possible!
- #11Boodoo
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Offspring of Shadow and Crystal, Boodoos are contradictory creatures. Its uncanny appearance belies a gentle soul who enjoys home-cooking, collecting vintage dolls and artisanal craft-making. A Boodoo's shakers and ornamental headdress represent only a small portion of its creative pursuits; Monsters far and wide will travel to witness the unveiling of a Boodoo original.
- #12Kazilleon
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Kazilleons aren't the greatest-smelling Monsters. For one, the toxic gas they spew when they're singing has been known to singe fur and upset appetites. To boot, the noxious fumes emanating from their color-shifting skin is sometimes harvested to help strip paint off of old buildings. The thing is, they're so friendly, everyone wants them around anyhow.
- #13Bellowfish
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Indigenous to the aquaslime pools of Ethereal Island, this blubberous beast always wants to be smack dab in the middle of the action. So that they never miss out on that action, Bellowfish cooperate to create each other's crystal-powered mechanized suits, which let them leave the water and join in the musical menagerie. That said, they're not particularly known for their punctuality; if there's a latecomer to a Monster party, it's safe to assume a Bellowfish is the one who knocks.
- #14Dragong
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The Dragong's lithe body belies incredible strength and resilience, which it uses to absorb the vibration of its tail- and feet-plates. In addition to the cymbal-like clashing they create, these plates allow the Dragong to skim the water's surface, and unsurprisingly, to prepare delicious dishes for its Ethereal cohorts.
- #15Fung Pray
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The chimeric Fung Pray strives to achieve complete balance in all aspects of life, according to transcendental teachings passed down from generation to generation. Even though tranquility and precision are held in highest esteem, the occasional burst of unbridled exuberance is permitted. Bystanders can identify such a display by the appearance of glowing gills under the Fung Pray’s headcap.
- #16Yooreek
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Yooreek… uh… what's the story behind this Monster? It seems to possess an organic exterior, but the sound it produces definitely evokes something more robotic. Perhaps this trait is 'inherited' from auditory residue from former residents of the Workshop. This Ethereal and Gaddzooks appear to have a lot of genetic programming in common, but the quirks of the attunement and synthesis processes have resulted in markedly different final products. It matters little to these two, who savor each other's company and really 'click' musically.
- #17Meebkin
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The Meebkin gets its name from a greater-than-average affinity for the Meeb critters essential to the specialized processes of the Workshop. Rather than being recruited for attunement, a pair is carefully chosen to perch on either end of a special baton made of woven fibers. Deftly and gymnastically twirling the baton over its head, the Meebkin is able to coax otherworldly groans and gargles out of the mouths of Meebs, but don't worry - the critters aren't uncomfortable. Rather the opposite: the Triple-Element Ethereal is a doting and responsible caretaker.
- #18Blarret
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Right after it's synthesized, the Ethereal Blarret only has one functioning mouth: the top one attached to the rest of its face. Once it's a little older, the Monster's secondary and tertiary mouths learn to sing with preternatural speed… although a non-trivial amount of discipline and concentration is required to make sure they all sing in the right order. After a while though, the reflex becomes 'otama-tic.' Blarrets love getting their triple chins scratched by an Auglur's digital claws - although in the case of the two lower mouths, it's more like a neck scratch?
- #19Gaddzooks
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The instability present in all Triple-Element Ethereals is no better represented than in the Gaddzooks. Every snap of their jaws and tap of their feet threatens to shatter its very form, and yet this Monster is able to keep it together and perform. An outlier in the Monster World as far as double-headedness goes, both of the Gaddzook brainstems get along famously and are always totally in sync with one another (we suppose you'd have to be in order to attain that level of percussive prowess). This cheerfulness and amicability extends to friendships with its fellow Ethereals as well, particularly the closely-related Yooreek.
- #20Auglur
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The Auglur leans heavily into its Mech-Element parentage, and blurs the line between the real and virtual worlds by manifesting a trio of hands with digital digits. You don't need augmented reality goggles to see them; the Auglur's power makes them visible to all. From there, it's a simple matter of gesturing and swiping in mid-air at 'sonic panels' that create soundscapes drawn from nostalgic dreams. Alright, maybe it's not actually so simple for you or I - but to the Auglur, it comes naturally… er, Ethereally.
- #21Flasque
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
It's challenging to describe the Flasque as a 'living thing' by the conventional definition of the term. The Ethereal's body consists of little more than an assortment of beakers and chalices, which float and move together impossibly, defying all known scientific laws. If that wasn't already enough, the Monster purposefully collides these body parts together - isn't it fearful of breaking the glass? By a fluke of nature, the Flasque's green lifeblood that sloshes and splashes about inside its body parts actually fortifies them and makes them completely shatter-resistant.
- #22Nitebear
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Hello, hello? Hello! Behind the laughter and mirth of the majority of the Workshop's inhabitants lurks the Nitebear. A mishmash of multiple ideas, the leading theory is that it's secretly powered by quirky animatronics (hence the cables sticking out of its head). To avoid going purple in the face (and so that its servos don't lock up), the Monster must routinely express itself via a string of groans and moans. It's important for the Nitebear to socialize, even though its melancholic disposition often dampens the party atmosphere. The Ethereal asserts that it's going to stop killing the mood with the others and isolate itself... but it always comes back.
- #23Piplash
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Wow! This Triple-Element Ethereal is... not what we were expecting. In a class of Monsters that includes some of the more unsightly species, the Piplash exists in stark and striking contrast. It's so cute and endearing! Even its headbanging, stereotypically associated with hardcore genres, is absolutely delightful. What precisely is going on here?! Is the Piplash harboring some secret, putting up a front, concealing a side we can't see? Could the Monster possibly be as wholesome as it outwardly seems? This is driving us crazy!!!
- #24X’rt
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Whenever Zarroë is struggling to articulate a thought, or the Colossal is having trouble remembering something, suspicion mounts that there's an X'rt about. Put bluntly (and literally), this is the Monster equivalent of a brain fart: its home is a gargantuan brain and it communicates by spewing gas from its... mouth? Gut? We're not sure how to classify it. The biggest surprise, especially because of the presence of the Poison Element, is that the X'rt's gaseous emissions are totally odorless. Instead, they buildup over time and incite confusion and fogginess in the thought processes of its neighbors - so make sure you're not planning on doing anything mentally taxing when an X'rt is nearby.
- #25Teeter-Tauter
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Teeter-Tauter is an unusually unstable pair, even when compared to its synthetic siblings who slink about the Workshop. Its chaotic Elemental power necessitated its split into two separate beings that together form one lovably lopsided Ethereal - made complete with some minor 'Mech-nical' enhancements! While the bipedal Teeter's acrobatic prowess is undeniable, its tireless tittering tends to teeter toward tedious in the eye of its more responsible half, Tauter.
- #26Whaill
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Some Ethereals prefer to whisper, while others favor wailing. The Quad-Element Whaill is the latter, so-named for the ululations that gurgle forth from its many mouths. Although at first blush these sounds seem melodious, over time they can elicit feelings of dread and disorientation in the listener. That's because the sound waves the Whaill produces actually begin to tear apart the fabric of space time and threaten to expose reality to the Rift, the world between worlds. But how can the polystomatous Plasma Boss help it? When you have hands for mouths and mouths for hands, there's little else that you can do but wail.
- #27Vhenshun
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Behold… a workshop within the Workshop! Fittingly, the Mech Quad Vhenshun looks like the wooden workbench of Monster antiquity where items and decorations alike were crafted… if that workbench sprang to life and swapped crafting for clanging! Not only is this contraption itself a product of mechanical invention, it's an inventor in its own right! The Monster is constantly experimenting with the materials available to devise new gadgets and gizmos - not unlike the Celestial that shares its Elemental affiliation. Rumors swirl around that it's planning a hi-Mech heist to distract Zarroë and escape into the great beyond, but we're not sure the world is prepared for Vhenshun impact.
- #28Pentumbra
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Even though its official species name is recognized to be 'Pentumbra' (because of its five limbs and the shadow it casts), everyone just wants to call this Monster a 'Shady Long-Legs'. The Ethereal Quad's affinity for the Shadow Element causes an unusual sticky pink residue to form on its legs - something to do with the fact that they're so often bathed in darkness. Apparently this phenomenon has been known to happen at large scale, when the dark matter of the Rift between dimensions seeps out from interdimensional fractures. It could be a trick of light, but the gloom that dwells beneath a Pentumbra almost seems to take a life of its own... but because it's nothing more than a shadow of a shade, it tends to imitate other beings' sounds rather than create its own.
- #29Rhysmuth
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Rhysmuth's cubic configuration comes from its complex Crystalline composition. Each of its four Elements exerts incredible pressure against the others, compressing the very fiber of this Ethereal's being into compact blocks which vibrate with an atomic energy that can barely be contained. The most powerful of these blocks, the Rhubix Cube, is closely guarded within Rhysmuth's heart. A word to the wise: beware when excavating the Workshop's Mini-Mine, as this crafty Quad enjoys creeping among the minerals.
- #30Oogiddy
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Look, we get it - Oogiddy doesn't exactly give everyone the warm fuzzies. But what if we told you that in the midst of its nauseating display, it is actually performing a crucial function to preserve the ecosystem of the Workshop? Oogiddy traps Poisonous gasses within its bulbous body, mixing them with its own uniquely fragrant blend of acidic juices to neutralize all toxicity. The goopy byproduct created through this process ain't pretty, but it acts as a highly effective fertilizer (or hair gel!). Oogiddy even bids its fellow Monsters to steer clear of noxious substances by aggressively pulsating its chromatophores in warning.
- #31BeMeebEth
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
"It's alive!" Not since the creation of the Wubbox has Monsterkind witnessed such a significant scientific achievement. The gargantuan BeMeebEth represents the pinnacle of Zarroë's mad tinkering and endless experimentation. The Ethereal Quint towers over the other denizens of the Ethereal Workshop, inspiring awe and apprehension in equal measure. Visible in its unstable composition are all five Ethereal Elements: Plasmic tentacles, Shadowy claws, Crystalline cartilage, pockmarked Poisonous spines, and the Mech-nical jaw that houses its mighty brain. From the moment it erupted from the Synthesizer's upper bulb, there was no question that this Monster was the Top Boss of the Workshop.
- #32Ethereal Workshop
Keys: workshop
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
So this is how the other half lives… literally! For all of recorded Monster history, the Ethereal class has been confined to Single- and Double-Elementals… until the establishment of the Workshop. Located inside Ethereal Island and doubling as the 'brain' of the Colossal Zarroë, it's actually superimposed on the abandoned ruins of another entity's laboratory. Here, Zarroë has achieved the impossible and brought to life Triple-Element Ethereals (and beyond) using the unpredictably powerful Meebs and strange new Structures of its own invention. The Colossal's goal? To create a symphony of synthetic sounds worthy of the name Workshop!
