ABaldur’s Gate 3modder has made Shadowheart’s dreams come true by adding Bing Bong the baby imp, from the cast’s very own D&D one-shot, into the RPG.
Last month, the cast of Baldur’s Gate 3 - specifically the actors behind Shadowheart, Lae’zel, Karlach, Astarion, Gale, and Wyll - sat down with High Rollers DnD to play their own game of Dungeons & Dragons. There were a lot of great moments at the event, but the true star of the show was Bing Bong the imp. True to their characters, Shadowheart (Jennifer English) was a huge fan of the little guy while Lae’zel (Devora Wilde) did not want the cutie to join the cast on their journey.
It didn’t take long forBaldur’s Gate 3 fans to demand Larian add Bing Bong to the RPG itself, so one modder has now taken it upon themselves to do what Larian inexplicably hasn’t. As spotted byGayming, the ‘Bing Bong Summon’ mod is available to download for Baldur’s Gate 3 viaNexusmods, and adds a necklace that allows players to reunite the little guy with Shadowheart.
Speaking of mods for the Larian RPG, thisBaldur’s Gate 3 mod adds nearly 40 playable D&D races - including Final Fantasy 14’s cat girls.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
