Dan D'Monke is a Hero in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 55.0. He released alongside his first Hero Skin, Prince Adam (and his alter-ego He-Man), as part of a collaboration with Masters of the Universe from Mattel. During the first two weeks of his release, Dan D'Monke is only available via He-Man's bundle back, but after that Dan D'Monke will be available for purchase for Monkey Money and become available for events and competitive game modes.[1]
Dan D'Monke is a Hero with an alternate form named The Masqued Macaque. His base form has a fast melee attack and focuses on support by reducing lives lost and generating lives. The Masqued Macaque trades his attack speed and support for more damage, including being able to sometimes unleash chain lightning when he attacks. In both forms, he is immune to negative effects (such as Boss Bloon attacks).
- Starting at level 4, Dan D'Monke places net traps on the track that capture and slow small groups of Bloons. The Masqued Macaque does not use net traps.
- Starting at level 5, both forms place an ethereal shield at the exits of all lanes. When Bloons escape, it causes a shield to burst from the exit that pushes and stuns escaping Bloons away and reduces lives lost.
- Starting at level 8, Dan D'Monke sometimes taunts Bloons to inflict blowback and reduce their leak damage, while the Masqued Macaque sometimes stomps Bloons to deal more damage and inflict blowback.
- Starting at level 12, both forms gain a passive effect that triggers when a Bloon leaks that reduces lives lost and blows back up to 40 Bloons near the exit. It has its own cooldown.
- Starting at level 14, Dan D'Monke completely heals any damage from a leaked Bloon at a rate of 1 life per second, but leaking another Bloon in the interim resets it and it does not prevent the player from losing if the player does not survive the initial leak, while The Masqued Macaque can smack MOABs backwards to damage other Bloons it flies into.
- Starting at level 15, both forms buff the effectiveness of blowback for all towers.
- Starting at level 19, Dan D'Monke generates Mana Shield from popping Bloons and deals more damage based on the amount of Mana Shield the player has, while The Masqued Macaque's damage increases as the player loses lives.
- At level 20, both forms deal more damage the more Bloons there are on-screen and attack faster the closer Bloons are to leaking.
He has five Activated Abilities. One is shared between forms, while the other two are exclusive to each form.
- Transformation (level 3) — Swaps him between Dan D'Monke and The Masqued Macaque, while also generating a blast of lightning that damages nearby Bloons and grants him a brief attack speed buff.
- Reposition (Dan D'Monke level 7) — Allows the player to teleport any tower (including himself) to any other location on the map.
- Volant Strike (The Masqued Macaque level 7) — Allows the player to teleport only him to any other location on the map, and he damages and stuns nearby Bloons at the point of impact.
- Rabble Rouser (Dan D'Monke level 10) — Grants nearby towers a buff that increases damage but lowers attack speed, removes negative effects from them, and triggers passive abilities as if a life were just lost (such as Bomb Blitz's Bomb Storm and Elite Defender's Retaliation).
- Berserk Frenzy (The Masqued Macaque level 10) — Causes him to dash from Bloon to Bloon across a large radius and deals heavy damage to them on contact.

Main Attack
edit|
|
This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Implement both the normal and transformed variants, and further elaborate some small tidbits |
Dan D'Monke's melee attacks consist of an area-of-effect that snaps onto the target within Dan D'Monke's range.
Secondary Effects
editStarting at level 3, Dan D'Monke's sword blows back bloons every 4 attacks. The Masked Macaque spawns lightning every third attack.
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 4 | Blowback now triggers every 8 attacks instead of 4. |
| 18 | Blowback no longer triggers at all. |
Net Traps
editStarting at level 4, Dan D'Monke places net traps on the track every 9 seconds. When 4 non-MOABs are in contact with it at once, it explodes, slowing down up to 12 Bloons in an 18 radius range by 50%. This effect can slow MOABs, though it will not trigger from them.
Ethereal Shield
editStarting at level 5, both Dan D'Monke and the Masked Macaque place an Ethereal shield at the exit of each lane. When a bloon leaks, its leak damage is reduced by 50% and the shield activates, knocking bloons 20 units back and stunning them for 3 seconds. The shield can affect up to 30 bloons in a 24 unit radius.
This effect has a 12 second cooldown and cannot affect Purples, Leads, or MOABs, but the effect still triggers if they leak.
Taunt & Stomp
editStarting at level 8, Dan D'Monke taunts every 24 attacks. This attack has a 60 unit radius and can affect up to 45 bloons. Affected bloons take 1 extra damage per hit from all sources for 20 seconds, have 50% reduced leak damage, and have a 75% chance to get blown back. It can blow back bloons 100-150 units, with BFBs and MOABs getting blown back for 25% the distance. It cannot blow back other MOAB-Class bloons.
The Masked Macaque instead stomps every 10 attacks. This attack has a 34.5 unit radius and can affect up to 30 bloons. Affected bloons take 20 damage and have a 50% chance to get blown back 1-100 units. It cannot blow back MOAB-class bloons. Blown bloons travel at 4 times their normal speed until they start traveling down the track again.
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 11 | Taunt radius increased from 60 to 69. Stomp radius increased from 34.5 to 39.675. |
| 16 | Stomp damage increased from 20 to 40. |
Quick Thinking
editStarting at level 12, both Dan D'Monke and the Masked Macaque gain a second ability that activates upon leaking. For the next 6 seconds, all leak damage is reduced by half and the shield now blows back bloons that touch it. It blows regular bloons 300-450 units, With MOABs/DDTs, BFBs, and ZOMGs being blown back 75%, 50%, and 30% the distance respectively. Blown bloons travel at 5 times their normal speed until they start traveling down the track again. It can blow up to 40 bloons, though MOABs count as 5, DDTs count as 6, BFBs count as 7, and ZOMGs count as 20.
This effect has a 60 second cooldown.
Moab Smack
editStarting at level 14, the Masked Macaque gains a new attack that specifically targets base moabs. It summons an invisible projectile at the target's position, which travels up the track carrying a base moab with it. It travels at a speed of 200 units per second and lasts one second, dealing 40 damage and knocking back anything hit by 12 units. The carried moab does 20 damage to anything it collides with. The projectile has 20 pierce and can rehit bloons every 0.1 seconds. This attack has a 30 second cooldown.
Blowback Buff
editStarting at level 15, both Dan D'Monke and the Masked Macaque increase the blowback strength of all towers on the map by 40%.
Mana Shield & Life Effects
editStarting at level 19, Dan D'Monke generates 1 mana shield per pop. He can generate a maximum of 100 mana shield.
Additionally at level 19, Dan D'Monke sword attacks gain 1% damage per mana shield, up to +100% damage, while the Masked Macaque's sword and lightning attacks gain 1% damage per life under 102 lives, up to +100% damage.
Battle Peril
editAt level 20, Dan D'Monke and the Masked Macaque attack up to twice as fast depending on how far bloons are along the track, and gain 1 damage for every 10000 leak damage on screen, up to a maximum of +50.

Reposition is unlocked at level 7 and is only available while he is his normal form. It has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
It has identical mechanics to Support Chinook's Reposition ability, including the incapability to reposition heavy units (e.g. Aircraft Carriers), all landing pads of flying units, Beast Handlers, Paragons, most map-exclusive towers, and most sub-towers. However, unlike the Chinook, he can move himself, being identical to his Masqued Macaque variant, Volant Strike, without the damage.

Pre-release
edit|
|
This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Add all differences between him in prerelease and now |
Dan D'Monke was presented in early access videos for version 55.0 by many YouTubers who mainly focused on showcasing Prince Adam (He-Man).
Differences from pre-release:
- His "Leaping Smash" was renamed to "Volant Strike", due to sounding too similar to Sauda's Leaping Sword. It's still internally named as "Leaping Smash", such as in its ability icon.
- Different level 1 and 2 descriptions for his transformed counterpart.
