On Reddit, a user named RobinFromGrimoire created a Dragonborn Monk to look like Donatello, one of the four titularTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and posted their work on the r/BaldursGate3 subreddit. The OP used purple eye shadow as a stand-in for Donatello’s iconic purple mask, and gave the character green scales to match. Though the OP only posted the character’s face, the Dragonborn Monk wore leather armor with a yellow and green color pattern that looked similar to Donatello’s body.The Monk class inBaldur’s Gate 3can wield a quarterstaff as a two-handed weapon, which RobinFromGrimoire used as a stand-in for Donatello’s bo staff.
