Wubbox/Dawn of Fire (2024)

Inactive bio: "Just as the monsters were phasing out production of Apple x5, they stumbled upon an immense underground vault containing several of the mysterious objects known as the Wubbox. Very little is known of their origin or purpose, save a few observations:

After being incubated in the nursery, sample analysis of the box's exterior indicates that it shares traits with every known monster species - in fact, it even has specialized compartments with an otherworldy shrinking technology.The box is also imbued with an elemental energy unfamiliar to those on the surface - a shocking discovery, to say the least.

Gather some intrepid monster volunteers and see what happens when you 'box' them!"

Active bio: "Eureka! The Wubbox awakes! As it turns out, this extraordinary electric elemental is vital to the life processes of the colossal island monsters that the other singing denizens call home. The shrunken monsters used to power up the creature report that inside is as fun as any playground they've ever seen, so they are happy to stay indefinitely.

The robotic chirps and whistles it uses to express itself can take some getting used to (some say that the Wubbox even has a bitter rivalry with a certain green Seasonal bird), but eventually become a beloved and inextricable part of the island's tune.Besides, it's all the rage in "current" music.

This Monster, like all Supernatural Monsters, cannot breed."

Activation[]

When first placed on the Continent, the Wubbox is a box that does nothing until you box (feed it) one of every regular natural-element monster and Etherealthat exists on there.This requirement can be bypassed by the use of diamonds - 450 💎is required to activate a fresh Wubbox, but this cost is reduced by 30 💎 for each monster placed inside. When the collection is complete, it turns into a singing and dancing robot that can wants items to increase its levels and earns coins like a normal monster. Only one inactive Wubbox may be placed on the Continent at a time.

Boxing monsters[]

Once a Wubbox is placed on an island, when another placed monster is selected, an additional option to Box that monster appears. Additionally, in the Nursery, a third option shows up after you place the Wubbox, so now you can Place, Box, or Sell. Thus, monsters can go straight from the nursery into the Wubbox without being placed on the island first.

For most intents and purposes, once a monster has been Boxed, it is gone. It doesn't generate coins.

Outer Island Activation[]

Once the Wubbox is leveled up to levels 5, 10, 15 or 20, it can be placed on one of the respective Outer Islands. For example, once placed on Cloud Island, it becomes a box again and requires one of every 'regular' monster type (that is, not the limited edition monsters or rare monsters) available on Cloud Island. Again, only one inactive Wubbox may be placed on any one Outer Island at any one time.

In order to box monsters on an Outer Island, they must be teleported to the island. This is not an issue for bed management since none of the Outer Islands have beds (or castles unlike the Continent for that matter), but clearing the physical space for monsters on very crowded and populated Outer Islands could be a concern.

Just as any baby monster placed in the baby Wubbox is removed from the Continent permanently - adult monsters placed in the adult Wubbox are also removed from the Outer Islands.

As for the Continent, the Wubbox activation may be sped up using diamonds, though each monster missing costs 300💎, for a grand total of 9,000💎 for a fresh Wubbox.

Description[]

The Wubbox is a monster species different from every other in many ways.

After its egg is hatched, the monster turns into a big and ornate yellow box with a huge red button on top, that appears to have a door on its visible face, complete with small stairs. Near the "door" there are strange, otherworldly patterns shaped like swirls and dots. On the back of the box are three pistons.In this dormant phase of its life cycle, it appears to be snoozing, like monsters that have been Muted - little "Rest notes" stream upwards from it.

After undergoing the unique feeding process that defines its species, it will transform: the Wubbox is the only monster who passes through huge changes after being born.

It now appears as a giant, yellow, humanoid robot, the tallest monster in the whole game, ready to be given items like any other monster is (Except the Celestials).

This robot has a big spherical power core suspended in the center of a gap in the middle of its body.The sphere glows blue-white, but it's insubstantial; one sees the background through it.From time to time, the power sphere pulses, or swings in a figure-8 around and through the Wubbox.The robot's limbs have multiple segments that appear to be connected by nothing more than brilliant electric arcs.(Some mysterious force fields may be at work here.)

Its hands are like huge iron bolts with fist-like structures on top of them, and its forearms, yellow like its body, have blue swirl and dot patterns that resemble the ones it had while in its box form, now powered up by the electricity.

Finally, it has a face with a big mouth and teeth, and metal cups supporting large red-and-white eyes with red lids. Its eyes occasionally flash. There is no head visible apart from the mouth and eyes; its neck consists of multiple cylindrical segments with no visible connection.

Song[]

The Wubbox'stune is a loud and vibrant electronic dubstep (vaguely similar to that of Slaprock Luckybyrd) that makes a big difference to the song of the island it is in.

When not playing its dubstep (not muted though) it will still make other sounds, listen closely! The Wubbox may sometimes fist-pump to make a brief hi-hat cymbal sound, jump to make a thump or swirl its orb around to make a synthetic sound.

Breeding[]

The Wubbox cannot be bred; it can only be purchased in the Market.

Feeding Monsters[]

After transforming, the Wubbox will request food and/or non-food items that are the products of Structures. If you cannot give the monster the food or items it requires, you can click the New Order button. After a 15 minute wait, it will ask for a new combination of foods or other items.

Rewards[]

When given the wanted foods or items, like any monster, it will reward you coins.

Teleportation[]

Wubbox can be teleported to any of the four Outer Islands at their respective levels for a reward of 101💎. Teleporting time for Wubbox to Space, Cloud and Cave Islands is 60 hours, while teleporting time to Party Island (like all Party Islanders) is five minutes.

Name Origin[]

"Wubbox" is a possible junction between the words "wub", (an onomatopoeia for some dubstep sounds, referencing the creature's music) and box (due to the monster's unique post-hatching behavior).

Notes[]

• Wubbox came to DoF's big 2.0 update with its fellow Wublins and rare counterpart, as well as DrumDrun, Billobass, Toxicity, the Futuristics, the non-Pulse and non-Heal Mysticals, the Millennials, and, of course, the Mythicals (in versions other than the PS4 and Android, which already have them) andPrismatics.
• The Wubbox in DoF seems to be a different species; In Big Blue Bubble's 2018 Extra Life stream, monster handler Matt confirmed that the real Wubbox was made after the era of Dawn Of Fire and it would be impossible for Wubbox to be in it therefore.
• The plural of "Wubbox" is "Wubbox". This can be evidenced from the Wubbox promo in the loading screen.
• The sell price of the Wubbox increases with each additional monster boxed, although not exactly by an amount equal to the sell price of the boxed monster.
• Once the player hatches a Wubbox, they immediately receive a goal for placing monsters inside of it.
• The Wubbox's French name is "Boîte-step." This translates to "club-step," which is a pun on "dubstep," the sound that the monster makes.
• The Wubbox is the first monster not to have the common egg shape of monsters, as while the monster eggs are commonly oval-shaped, the Wubbox egg is cube-shaped.
• There is never a time when the Wubbox doesn't make sounds (except for when muted). Even when it's idle, the Wubbox makes soft, drum-like sounds with its hands.
• The blue sphere has the Additive property, which means that in lighter backgrounds it becomes white, and in darker backgrounds, it becomes blue. The same is true for the blue electrical arcs.
• Unlike the other monsters (besides the Seasonals and Mythicals), Wubbox‘s idle animation takes up a whole verse, similar to the Seasonals' and both Mythicals'.
• Wubbox and its rare counterpartare the first and (currently) only monsters to be able to go to all four outer islands; PomPom, Ghazt, Hoola and Pikachu just go to three.
• Wubbox is one of the few monsters in DOF whose idle animation from the original game returns for both its baby and adult form.
• Wubbox and its rare counterpart are the tallest monsters out of all monsters.
• In the PSVita and PS4, Wubbox has a transparent sphere regardless of the background.
• In the audio files Wubbox is refered to as Box Monster, and the xml and bin files say it's element codename is SN, which stands for "Supernatural".
• During Big Blue Bubble's 2019 Extra Life stream, it was confirmed that Wubbox are, on average, 4 meters, or 13.1 feet tall.
