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.
Song
Audio sample:
Instrument: Cello
VST: Kontakt Factory (Composer Island), Unknown (all other islands)
The Bowgart's contribution to an Island's song is the equivalent of the upper and lower bowed strings, but evidently plays cello primarily and loudly. The Bowgart plays its instruments 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, the lower part. On Tribal Island, it slowly moves its bow across the instrument, making the sound longer, playing arco, or with bow.
Breeding
The Bowgart can be bred using monsters that combine to give the elements Plant, Water and Cold. Possible combinations:
Because Potbelly and Maw take much less time to hatch than both Oaktopus and Furcorn, the first combination will provide more breeding opportunities in the same time period (on average).
Bowgart can also be bred in a 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)
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 will still only increase its happiness by 25%. If there's a Unity Tree on the island, items don't need to be near the monsters. Below are the things liked by Bowgart:
- Shrubb (requires level 9) ()
- Tweedle (level 4) ()
- Travelers' Sign (level 7)
- Toob (level 10)
- Eerie Remains (level 14) ()

Egg Consumption
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 bred Monster eggs can only be "disposed of" into inactive Wublins, Celestials, and Vessels; active ones do not accept Monster eggs. Also note that inactive 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.

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 Bowgart was originally called a "Toedello."[citation needed]
- In promotional images on the My Singing Monsters Facebook page, the Bowgart can be seen with its mouth open and its thumbs.
- The Bowgart is drawn with a pronounced overbite, presumably in homage to Humphrey Bogart, who shared this facial feature.
- Although the 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, the Bowgart's cello is the size of a double bass.
- The Russian translation for Bowgart is "Смычорог". It is a combination of the word "смычок", meaning "bow", and "рог", meaning "horn".
