'''Ice Monkeys''' (known as '''Ice Towers''' or, rarely, '''Ice Balls''' prior to [[Bloons | '''Ice Monkeys''' (known as '''Ice Towers''' or, rarely, '''Ice Balls''' prior to [[Bloons Monkey City|''Bloons Monkey City'']]) are [[Monkey|monkeys]] that freeze [[Bloon|Bloons]] in an area around them. Inspired by the [[Ice Bloon]] from the ''[[Bloons (series)|Bloons]]'' series, they were introduced in the original ''[[Bloons Tower Defense]]'', and have been included in all mainline ''Bloons TD'' games and some spinoffs since. | ||

Frozen Bloons do not move further along the track until they are either popped or the duration of the freeze ends. Frozen Bloons cannot be popped by [[sharp]] damage in a similar way to [[Lead Bloon|Lead Bloons]]. [[White Bloon|White Bloons]] are a type of Bloon throughout all of the games that are immune to this freeze effect until popped. | ||
In both [[Bloons Tower Defense (game)|''Bloons Tower Defense'']] and [[Bloons Tower Defense 2|''Bloons Tower Defense 2'']], the Ice Tower is the only [[tower]] that can freeze Bloons, with [[Bomb Shooter|Cannons]] being able to pop them by default and [[Boomerang Monkey|Boomerangs]] and [[Super Monkey|Super Monkeys]] being able to pop them in ''2'' with their upgrades. In [[Bloons Tower Defense 3|''Bloons Tower Defense 3'']], the newly-introduced [[Ceramic Bloon|Ceramic Bloons]] are also immune to freezing, although this immunity would be removed in later titles. | In both [[Bloons Tower Defense (game)|''Bloons Tower Defense'']] and [[Bloons Tower Defense 2|''Bloons Tower Defense 2'']], the Ice Tower is the only [[tower]] that can freeze Bloons, with [[Bomb Shooter|Cannons]] being able to pop them by default and [[Boomerang Monkey|Boomerangs]] and [[Super Monkey|Super Monkeys]] being able to pop them in ''2'' with their upgrades.

In the ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'' generation of games, the Ice Tower has two upgrade paths. The top path focuses on freezing and clumping large amounts of Bloons within its area, while the bottom path focuses on dealing damage and freezing the entire map with an [[Activated Ability]]. Its [[Specialty Building]] in ''BTD5'' is the [[Ice Fortress]], while its main [[Monkey Building|buildings]] in [[Bloons Monkey City|''Bloons Monkey City'']] are the [[House of Ice]] and the [[Cryo Lab]]. | In the ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'' generation of games, the Ice Tower has two upgrade paths.

In ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', the Ice Monkey is classified as a [[Primary]] tower, and gains the ability to damage Bloons by default. Its upgrade paths are somewhat reshuffled; the top path uses ice shards to pop Bloons, remove properties, and cause them to take more damage. The middle path has a slowing aura and the map-slowing Activated Ability from ''BTD5''<nowiki/>'s bottom path. The bottom path allows it to [[Targeting option|target]] Bloons like a conventional tower via a cannon that freezes Bloons and MOABs over a longer range. | In ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', the Ice Monkey is classified as a [[Primary]] tower, and gains the ability to damage Bloons by default.
