THIS IS THE MANADO'S POWER

[@LtKrau]

Shugabush is a member of the Legendary Shugafam class of Monsters, and is found on Plant Island. It was added on July 29th, 2013 during Version 1.1.7. Shugabush was created in collaboration with musical artist, Kristian Bush of the Sugarland duo. It is best obtained by breeding Bowgart and Clamble. By default, its incubation time is 35 hours long, or 1 day and 11 hours long. Despite being an elusive Legendary Monster, Shugabush does not have a high coin production. When fed to level 15, it can be teleported to Shugabush Island. Shugabush is required for all breeding combinations on Shugabush Island. This monster's contribution to an island's song is playing its mandolin and occasionally vocalizing "yeah, yeah, yeah" if the mood strikes it, closer to the end of the song, the Shugabush will say, "yeah, yeah, yeah" with a much louder voice. On Shugabush Island, the Shugabush does not vocalize, leaving that role to Shugavox instead. In the Memory game, the Shugabush only vocalizes.
