Gustbusters is the twenty-fifth Moshi Monsters mission and the fifth mission of Season Three.
On Sludge Street, there are green clouds everywhere and Dewey, Tamara, Mizz Snoots and Raarghly are asleep. Click to walk past and you find yourself being made sleepy by a stinky cloud so you have to go back. You notice a Moshling is unaffected, so sneak past the clouds while they're lifting to talk to it. Then, a giant version of the clouds with a one-eyed face can be seen. Click on the door to Horrods to collect an E.P.I.C.S.
The Moshling, a Magical Tinkler, introduces itself as Sprinkles. If you ask "What are you doing here?", Sprinkles says that she is just taking a walk but noticed that the clouds have put the monsters to sleep. Ask why the clouds don't affect her. She says that she ate some nice-smelling things and is now unable to smell the clouds so they can't put her to sleep. She doesn't know what the evil-looking cloud is but she's willing to help the monsters by spraying nice smells. Click on Raarghly. Sprinkles sprays him and he wakes up. Now, talk to Raarghly. He thanks you and you ask for nice-smelling things. He gives you a games console, a teacup, and a flower. Click the flower. Now, open the inventory (the blue pouch on the far right) and drag the flower onto Sprinkles. Now, wander over and click on Dewey to wake him up. He asks what happened. After telling, ask him for nice smelling items. He gives you hot sauce, a screwdriver, a pot of flowers and a hat. Click the flowers, then open your inventory and give them to Sprinkles. Walk over to Mizz Snoots and click on her to wake her. When asked for nice-smelling things, she gives you flowers, a skull and a book. Click the flowers, open your inventory and give them to Sprinkles. Go back to wake Tamara. However, the evil cloud wants to defeat you but Sprinkles gets rid of it and all the other green clouds. Talk to Tamara. Apparently, she'd been studying it and has also found strange weather around Pinkish Peak She's also discovered that the big cloud made the smaller ones. Sprinkles wants to help you investigate but she disappears with some green clouds. Tamara then sends you to Pinkish Peak.
