'''Ice Monkeys''' (known as '''Ice Towers''' or, rarely, '''Ice Balls''' prior to [[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']]) 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.

The Ice Monkey [[Freeze|freezes]] Bloons within a short range at a slow rate. 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 towers]] 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.
