The Bingo bango bongo is a recurring monster in the series, first appearing in Dragon Quest XI. It is a monster percussionist that gives nefarious performances with a drum granted to it by an evil god.
Characteristics[edit]
Bingo bango bongos are rotund, midnight blue djinn-like spirits with large living drums made from purple wood strapped to the front of their bodies with dark blue and pink rope. The monsters have solid yellow eyes, pointy ears, and curly tendrils on top of their heads. They wear open yellow vests and black wristbands, their drumsticks being of the same purple wood as their drums and wrapped in black cloth. The animated drums, given to them by the Dark One Calasmos, are constantly smiling with their jagged mouths. Much like their weaker green-skinned kin, the bingo bango bongos play their drums for groups of malicious she-slimes. They are able to give a dangerous performance that can envenomate, paralyse, or even instantly kill unfortunate adventurers who listen.
