Monster Aggravation Devices
A number of devices exist in the Kingdom that have the power to aggravate monsters across the land. Any Adventurer who has ascended under a moon sign can gain access to such a device, though the specific costs and requirements vary from sign to sign. All monster aggravation devices can raise Monster Level by at least 10 points and enable bosses to drop special items.
Devices
Detuned radio
The detuned radio is the monster aggravation device available to those who have ascended under a Muscle moon sign. It can be purchased from the Degrassi Knoll General Store, and can increase ML by 0-10 points.
The radio is available from the first turn of an ascension, but it isn't free; it costs 300 Meat, which may not be available at the start of a run.
The Super-Secret Canadian Mind-Control Device
Available in Little Canadia, the Super-Secret Canadian Mind-Control Device is the device available to those under Mysticality moon signs.
The MCD has two distinct advantages over other devices. First, it is available from the first turn of an ascension, with no associated cost (in terms of either Meat or Adventures). Second, it has a slightly larger range; it raises ML by a maximum of 11 points. Most mind-control devices have dials that go up to 10, but this one goes to 11. It's one higher.
The Annoy-o-Tron 5000
Found in the Gnomish Gnomads' Camp, the area unlocked by ascending under a Moxie moon sign, the Annoy-o-Tron 5000 can increase ML by 0-10 points.
While the Annoy-o-Tron does not cost Meat to use, it does cost Adventures in an indirect way. The Gnomish Gnomads' camp is only accessible after completing the Bitchin' Meatcar Quest, so it is not readily accessible to newly-ascended Adventurers.
Heartbreaker's Hotel
Located in Hey Deze, Heartbreaker's Hotel is the aggravation device available to Adventurers under the Bad Moon moon sign. It has an ML range of 0-11 points, although it is much less controllable than other devices.
Heartbreaker's has a distinct disadvantage to every other device. While it is available from turn one and has no Meat cost, setting the device to any level takes an Adventure. Additionally, unlike other devices, not every level is available. Every visit will offer one setting between 1 and 3, another between 4 and 7, and a third between 8 and 11, as well as a constant option to set the device to 0. It provides a ML bonus to Bad Moon players, but at the cost of an Adventure and unpredictability.

Defeating a boss monster with any aggravation device set to a certain level will force special reward items to drop. The chart below lists these bosses, their rewards, and the aggravation level required.
