Bio
[edit]You hear that? It's time to start the show.▶️Largo, the Bard Monk
Lore:
The exiled Murkroots of Velu’Mar discovered a living island so ancient it speaks only in song. Raised among the shamanic bards who learned to commune with it, Largo now roams the realms with a troupe of frogling disciples, looking for inspiration for new melodies to bring back and share with his island home.

- The ability name Catchy Lick references a musical lick, which is a pattern or phrase consisting of a short series of notes used, akin to a word or short sentence, very common in genres like jazz, blues, and rock.
- The ability name Frogstomp is a direct reference to the album of the same name, Frogstomp, from the Australian band Silverchair.
- The ability name Croak of Genius is a play on the saying 'stroke of genius', a common phrase in the fields of music to describe a composer's seemingly perfect flow state.
- The ability name Amphibian Rhapsody may be a reference to the famous song Bohemian Rhapsody from the band Queen.
- Within the game files, Hotfeet Hustle is sometimes named Double Time Rhythm. In music theory, to double-time means to put equal emphasis on every half-beat as on the full beats, effectively doubling the rhythm speed without actually altering the tempo.
- Within the game files, Island Elixir is sometimes named Good Vibrations, possibly a reference to the song Good Vibrations from The Beach Boys.
- Largo has Kiwi English accent, an accent originating from New Zealand, using a lot of slang words common within that accent.

▶️ "Life in Mars? Eh, not anymore there isn't." – Possibly a reference to the song Life on Mars? from David Bowie.
▶️ "Sticky fingers, but you can't lift my riffs." – Possibly a reference to the song Sticky Fingers from The Rolling Stones.
▶️ "He said he was in lock up, but he didn't even know any jail house tunes." – Possibly a reference to the song Jailhouse Rock from Elvis Presley.

- ▶️ "Turning this battle up to eleven." – The phrase up to eleven is a pop culture reference to the mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, in which a custom-built amplifier was shown, with all the knobs going up to 11, instead of the usual 10, making it "one louder" than any other amplifier.
▶️ "Can you breathe under water in that thing? Do you need to breathe?" – Plays on the community joke about Arc Warden's head resembling a fish glass bowl.
▶️ "Hey, you got any fairy bread?" – Refers to fairy bread, a popular sweet snack in Australia and New Zealand.
▶️ "I think it's nobler in the mind for you to just die already." – A reference to "To be, or not to be", a famous speech in Shakespeare's Hamlet.
- Largo's design can be an allusion to Heroes of Newerth's Pollywog Priest, a port of Dota's
Shadow Shaman.
