Just for fun, what monsters would make the best bards?

[Noumenon]

The idea of monster bards amuses me and I just wanted to see what you creative types would do with it.

 

[Theo R Cwithin]

Yesterday I was struck by the classic notion of a bard devil (or demon), whose instrument of choice is a cat-gut fiddle. The cat is still alive, of course, to add that extra je ne sais quoi to the infernal music.

 

[Insight]

Gibbering Mouther, obviously!

 

[ggroy]

A bunch of demon bards dressed up like KISS, playing "god of thunder" live in concert in hell with fire and brimstone.

 

[Crothian]

Does the Hill Giant still have an 18 charisma?

 

[Grymar]

I've used an Ogre bard leading a troop of ogres with his giant wardrum.

A goblin bard playing a maraca made with teeth inside a dried head.

Hi!

The Hydra as choir accompanied by a one-marilith-band.

 

[Oryan77]

Gibbering Mouther, obviously!

Since you beat me to it, then I'll vote for the Gelatinous Cube (if it engulfed a Bard).

 

[Bold or Stupid]

Stone Giants, earth elementals, galeb duhr, you know ROCK music.

 

[coyote6]

Nymphs as pop singers, of course.

Drow and shadar-kai in the goth bands. Probably drow vampires, at that.

Inevitables and modrons team up to form industrial bands.
