Description[]
Bowgart is a Triple-Element Monster that is first unlocked on Plant Island. It is best obtained by breeding two Monsters that have the combined elements of Plant, Water, and Cold. By default, its breeding time is 12 hours long. As a Triple-Elemental, Bowgart does not have a high Coin production. The Goal for placing your first Bowgart rewards the player with 5,000 Coins (
) and 50 Treats (
). Additionally, placing a Bowgart on Gold Island for the first time rewards the player with 2,000,000 Coins ().
Song[]
Audio samples:
Staccato (Memory Game; Plant Island):
Legato (Tribal Island):
Instrument: Cello, Double bass (Plant Island, low notes)
Bowgart's contribution to an Island's song is the equivalent of the upper and lower bowed strings, but it evidently plays its cello primarily and loudly. Bowgart plays its instrument with a spice attack, to give it a somewhat staccato sound. Its top two arms are responsible for the bowing and fingering of the upper string part, and its bottom two arms are responsible for the lower part. On Tribal Island, it slowly moves its bow across the instrument, making the sound longer, playing arco, or with the bow.

VSTs[]

Virtual Studio Technology is an audio plugin software that has libraries of sound effects and synthesized instruments.

Breeding[]
Bowgart can be bred using Monsters that combine to give the Elements Plant, Water and Cold. Possible combinations:
- Of these, Furcorn + Toe Jammer is the best combination, as failing and breeding a Toe Jammer lets you retry the combo almost instantly. Maw + Potbelly is a close second, because it has low average times in case of failure.
Bowgart can also be bred in breeding failures. Some combinations that result in a Bowgart in a breeding failure include:
+ Bowgart and Rare Bowgart
(Best choice, 100% chance of a Bowgart if Rare Bowgart is unavailable)
(Good choice, 1% chance of a Ghazt/Grumpyre)
- + Bowgart and Toe Jammer
(Good choice, slight chance of Bowgart, good if Toe Jammer eggs can be deposited)
Likes[]
Every Monster has different things that they like. For every unique object that they like that's placed near the Monster, the Monster's happiness will increase by 25%. Placing more than one of the same liked item near a Monster won't increase its happiness by an additional amount. If there's a Unity Tree or a Primordial Monster on the Island, items don't need to be near the Monster. Below are the things liked by Bowgart:
- Shrubb (requires level 9) ()
- Tweedle (level 4) ()
- Travelers' Sign (level 7)
- Toob (level 10)

Egg Consumption[]
- Main article: Zapping
While trying to breed other Monsters (particularly Monsters with a very low chance of breeding), the following Wublins, Celestials, and Vessels can be used to "dispose of" Bowgart eggs immediately, instead of putting them into a Nursery and having that Nursery not be available. Note that doing this for Rare and Epic Wublins will cause the Wublin to stop producing currency and the eggs will not expire.

Note that Monster eggs can only be "disposed of" before awakening Wublins, Celestials, and Vessels; afterwards those Monsters will not accept any eggs. Also note that Monsters to which you have already disposed the number of Bowgart eggs that it accepts, will no longer be available as a "recycle bin" for such eggs. Kayna's Vessel has no time limit, and its egg inventory cannot be reset. Awakened Celestials only accept eggs during their corresponding Celestial month.

Notes[]
- Bowgart's name may be a combination of the monster Boggart (or "bogart") and a bow, the stick used on string instruments, such as the one it plays. It could also possibly come from the surname of actor Humphrey Bogart.
- The Russian translation for Bowgart is "Смычорог." It is a combination of the word "смычок," meaning "bow," and "рог," meaning "horn."
- Bowgart was originally called "Toedello."[1]
- In promotional images on the My Singing Monsters Facebook page, Bowgart can be seen with its mouth open.
- Bowgart is drawn with a pronounced overbite, presumably in homage to Humphrey Bogart, who shared this facial feature.
- Although Bowgart's egg is spotted, the fully grown Bowgart is not.
- Despite its bio, which describes taking up earth to grow its horns, Bowgart does not contain the Element of Earth.
- Placing a Bowgart on Gold Island can count toward the "Hatch and place 3 new Bowgarts" goal.
- In proportion to humans, Bowgart's cello is actually the size of a double bass.
- Bowgart is the only Triple-Elemental Monster on Plant Island to not be a percussionist.
- This is mainly because it is the only Triple-Elemental Monster on Plant Island to not have the Earth Element.
- It is also the only Triple-Element Natural Monster to play a stringed instrument.
- According to Bowhead's bio, Bowgart is related evolutionarily to Bowhead. This makes sense, since Bowgart and Bowhead share plenty of similarities with each other:
- They both have the word "bow" in their names.
- They both have the Water, Plant and Cold Element.
- They both play the cello.
- They both have four arms.
- Bowgart is the only string instrumental Monster on Cold Island.
- On February 7th, 2024, it was revealed that Bowgart and Bowhead are in a family called "The Bowidae."
