My Singing Monsters is a mobile game that's exactly what the name suggests. The game became a hit, being nominated for several awards and even getting a prequel.

let's take a blast to the past

Unused Monsters

Mimic

A scrapped 5-element monster from Version 1.0.4 that didn't have any sprites in-game, but had its name and a description in the text file. Its description read as follows:

The Mimic monster is an extremely unique monster among the rabble. They have three legs and they are surrounded by mysterious atmosphere. They contain luminous substance, so when they is danger, those substance lightens up to protect Mimic.

In the Extra Life stream Big Blue Bubble did on Twitch, they showed the Mimic's design and explained its intended purpose: You would've been able to record your own voice and the Mimic would play the recording. The function was reused for the Recording Studio, while a bit of its design was reused for the Rare Clamble.

Thumb

In the monster_data.xml file in the root, there is code relating to the max coins, coins per minute, and the amount food required to level up Mimic. The file refers to Mimic as "Secret Quint Element" and also includes a link to a meme website. Big Blue Bubble probably added this part to monster_data.xml to fool people looking into their game. There is also some other stuff relating to Mimic, like the amount of xp you would gain by placing Mimic (357143), Mimic's size (1x1), the amount of diamonds it would cost (250), and the time it would take in the breeding structure or nursery (48 Hours).

Unused Graphics

Floot Fly Breeding Portrait

This was a placeholder for quarrister. Big Blue Bubble made a social media post showing its design (shown above). It appears that it would've played some sort of whistle (it’s possible the reason it was excluded was due to being similar to the Reedling). Its description says "I'm green". It's probably a placeholder.

The only known photo in the files of v1.0.4 of the Floot Fly, being its breeding icon.

Celestials Portraits

With the lack of a castle for the Memory Game and a Breeding Structure on Celestial Island, these Monster Portraits go unused.

Placeholder Quarrister/Floot Fly Egg

In version 1.0.4, there exists a placeholder Quarrister/Floot Fly egg. It is a yellow egg that has the shape of a Mammott egg and the spots of a Maw egg with the text "ABCE" (The element code for Quarrister/Floot Fly) on it.

Old Electricity Element

In the 1.1.6 dlc there is also a version of the electricity element that doesnt have any electricity around it. It was changed in 1.1.7

Generic Holiday Element

In 1.1.6, theres an element called generic_holiday that has the design of the legendary icon, just without the rays of light. It probably would have appeared as the element for all seasonals. It was removed in 1.1.7.

Dragongs Neck Eye

On the neck sprite for Dragong, there is an eye on the spot where the head goes. It is possible that this would have been used and Dragong would have never had a head.

Cybops Unused Eyeball and Pupil

On Cybops head sprite, there is an unused pupil and eyeball on it. the colour of the pupil is red, and is very similar to the pupil in the concept art of cybop. This eyeball and pupil can be seen on the head sprites for the Natural, Rare, and Epic Cybops.

Unused Animations

Ghazt (Composer Island)

The monster Ghazt has unused animations and sounds for Composer Island. These animations were later used in My Singing Monsters: Composer.

Unused Sounds

Prototype Dandidoo Sound (Tribal Island)

This is a prototype sound for Dandidoo in Tribal Island. It was sung by Dave Kerr, composer of My Singing Monsters. It was in the game files when Tribal Island first came out and had a chance of appearing in game. It was removed from the game an update later.

Prototype Brump Sound (Wublin Island)

In the 1.4.0 APK for My Singing Monsters, there was an unused Memory Sound for Brump. Its sound resembles the sound of the Dermit, but it sounded much more like a Mammott than a new Monster. It was probably scrapped since the original name for the Wublins were the Underlings, and Brump wouldn't have been able to sing "Wake up the Wublins".

Glowls Non-existant Fire Oasis Track 2

There are references to a track 2 of Glowl on Fire Oasis in the files of the game, but the sound doesnt exist in-game.

Unused Text

Developing/Test Text

There are some text lines in MSM either put in for developing or for testing purposes. These are some of them

Mimic's Bio

Mimic was a 5 element monster that would later became the Recording Studio. However, it's bio is still in the game's files.

The Mimic monster is an extremely unique monster among the rabble. They have three legs and they are surrounded by mysterious atmosphere. They contain luminous substance, so when they is danger, those substance lightens up to protect Mimic.
