The Mortar Monkey (Mortar Tower in Bloons TD 4, Bloons TD 5, and Bloons TD Battles) is a monkey introduced in Bloons TD 4. It operates a green artillery cannon that fires mortar shells that explode on impact. In most games, a Mortar Monkey aims towards a specified location, albeit with inaccuracy.

Gameplay

Bloons TD series

Mortar Monkeys fire mortar shells that explode close to a specified location determined by the player. Shots are not fully accurate, meaning they may miss the precise location that the player has aimed it. It has upgrades that increase its pierce, damage, blast radius, increase accuracy, or support a defense by removing certain special properties or stunning Bloons.

In Bloons TD 5, the top path focuses increasing the effectiveness of each explosion, with an upgrade for accuracy, and many upgrades for increasing pierce, damage, and blast radius. The bottom path increases attack speed and can burn Bloons, strip Camo, and have the ability to stun swarms of Bloons. Its Specialty Building in BTD5 is the Mortar Emplacement, while its main buildings in Bloons Monkey City are the Mortar Range, Mortar Support in the mobile version, and Ordnance and Munitions Support in the Flash version.

Starting from Bloons TD 6, the middle path focuses on attack speed and specialized damage. The bottom path becomes the support path, which includes upgrades that increase accuracy, burn Bloons, and strip certain Bloon properties. The top path focuses on increasing blast radius, pierce, and damage of each blast, including the creation of shockwaves that stun Bloons.

Bloons Card Storm

"Mortar" is a Monkey type shared by four Military-class cards, including the basic Mortar Monkey. All of them cannot attack manually and only attack after ending a turn.

•  Mortar Monkey attacks onto a random Bloon at the end of a turn.
•  Burny Stuff Mortar applies an On Fire effect onto the target.
•  Shell Shock Mortar deals more damage and stuns the target.
•  The Big One deals significantly more damage than the ordinary Mortar.

Other appearances

• While not specifically a Mortar Monkey, many upgrades from the BTD5 version of Mortar Tower are reused for C4 Charlie from Bloons Adventure Time TD.

General information

Appearance

The base Mortar Monkey only wears a green Brodie helmet with a yellow private's emblem at the front. This monkey operates a green artillery cannon, standing next to it to load mortar shells before firing. The cannon has a yellow band around the front of the barrel. Before the BTD6 generation, a Mortar Monkey always inserts shells into the mouth of the cannon, while starting from BTD6 a Mortar Monkey loads a shell with a lever or, with certain upgrades, presses a button on a remote control.
