Katsumas

Katsumas are a type of adoptable Monsters in Moshi Monsters. They have natural health, so it's fine to leave them alone for 2-8 days, although they need to have food at hand and plenty of games to raise their health and happiness.

Biography

Mess with a Katsuma and you'll unleash a flurry of claws, jaws and lightning-fast moves! When Katsumas aren't bustin' choptastic moves, they're busy working on their super-smooth style!

Adoption

Katsumas are together with Poppets the top popular adopted species in Moshi Monsters and are thus much more prominently promoted in merchandise.

They are based on felines in behaviorism and bodily abilities, as they make sound similar to meowing and can emerge claws. They bare resemblance to rabbits in form, although this was preserved an insult in the fiction that mentioned it.

Katsumas are fast and talented in martial arts, specifically Karate. They are overall often associated with japanese culture.

Katsumas are bold, fierce and feisty and have a very boastful nature. In fiction, Katsumas have been a bothering factor in the group dynamic of the main monsters, as shown with Axl Van Slap leaving The Fizzbangs due to being too full of himself and Katsuma in The Great Moshling Egg. In said movie, Dr. Strangeglove tried to make use of Katsuma's nature, referring to him as "that fame-hungry furball Katsuma", as part of his scheme. He did not plan on the rest of the gang tagging along.

They don't like to be over-fed, but most Katsumas like Katsuma Crunch, Green and Roarberry Cheesecake. They hate Sludge Fudge.
