Tips

Grumpyre is an extremely rare Ethereal and Shadow-element monster in My Singing Monsters that becomes available at level 9. While the odds of breeding this gray-green, four-winged, two-armed bat monster are only 1%, it is possible to get it by pairing a four-element monster, like a Deedge, with a three-element monster, like a Congle, Bowgart, or Spunge. In this article, we’ll explain exactly how to breed Grumpyre , tell you about its stats, and explain how to get Rare Grumpyre and Epic Grumpyre , too. Read on to learn more!

How do you breed a Grumpyre?

To create a Grumpyre, go to Cold Island and breed a Deedge with a Congle, Bowgart, Spunge, or Thumpies. The base odds of getting a Grumpyre are only 1%, so it may take multiple tries. To boost your odds, light up to 10 Wishing Torches and use high-level monsters for breeding.

1
Verify you’re at level 9 or higher in My Singing Monsters. The Grumpyre can only be bred once you’ve reached level 9. Your current level status is displayed at the top left corner of your screen.
- To start advancing toward level 9 , tap on “Goals” and complete the list of required goals.
2
Place a Breeding Structure on Cold Island. You can only breed a Grumpyre on Cold Island when you’re breeding it from other monsters, so make sure you have a Breeding Structure on the island.
- Once you have a Grumpyre , you can only breed with it on Ethereal Island. You can use a Grumpyre to breed additional Grumpyres and other monsters.
- If you haven’t placed a breeding structure on either island , tap on “Market,” tap on “Structures,” then select the option to purchase a breeding structure for 200 gold coins or 10 shards.
- Consider upgrading your Breeding Structure for 25 Diamonds to reduce the breeding time. ^{[1]

Light Wishing Torches on the island to increase the breeding odds. Wishing Torches are items you can add to any island to help increase the chances of a successful breeding. Each torch increases your chances by 1%, and you can add up to 10 torches. This increases your chance of getting a Grumpyre by up to 10%. ^{[2]

Research source}
- The base chance of breeding a Grumpyre is only 1% , so lighting any torches you have is a great way to help boost your odds!
- Wishing Torches are available once you reach level 12.
- Each Wishing Torch costs 10,000 Coins or 10 Shards to buy. It then costs 2 Diamonds to light one.
- Wishing Torches stay lit for 24 hours, so aim to light them right before you’re ready to breed a Grumpyre.

Breed a Deedge with a Congle, Bowgart, Spunge, or Thumpies. Select a four-element monster from one column and a three-element monster from the other column. At this stage of the game, your four-element monster is a Deedge. The three-element monsters you can choose are the Congle, the Bowgart, the Spunge, and the Thumpies. For the best chance of creating the Grumpyre, pair the Deedge with the Congle. ^{[4]

- Use your highest-level monsters, as higher levels can increase the odds of a successful breeding.
- Breed the Deedge by pairing monsters that provide equal parts of the elements Air, Plant, Water, and Cold. Examples of successful monster pairings that can breed the Deedge are Spunge + Mammott, Thumpies + Toe Jammer, and Congle + Potbelly. ^{[5]

- To avoid waiting for the breeding period to end , accept the offer to pay 36 diamonds after tapping on “Breed.”

Log back into My Singing Monsters after the breeding period ends. After the breeding period ends, the Grumpyre egg will automatically be relocated to the Nursery to incubate. The egg is a dark gray-green color and has 2 horns on the top. The incubation time can take at least 1 day and 12 hours. ^{[8]

- Remember, Grumpyre has a 1% chance of being bred. It’s very rare, so it may take you multiple tries to get it. Just be patient and keep trying!
- If your breeding attempt was unsuccessful , return to the breeding structure, tap on “Retry,” and either select the same monsters you used previously or try a different monster pairing.
- According to gaming statistics for My Singing Monsters, you may need to execute about 70 attempts for a 50% chance of breeding a Grumpyre. It may take about 690 attempts for a 99.9% chance of breeding a Grumpyre. ^{[9]

Tap on the Nursery once Grumpyre hatches. You’ll receive a notification informing you that the Grumpyre egg has hatched. You can now sell the Grumpyre or select the option to place the Grumpyre on Cold Island.
