It | The '''Mermonkey''' is a [[Magic]] [[tower]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|44.0}}. It [[attack]]s by throwing tridents that create damaging splashes around each [[Bloon]] they hit, similar to [[Hydra Rocket Pods (BTD6)|Hydra Rocket Pods]] and [[Captain Churchill (BTD6)|Captain Churchill]]'s explosives. Each trident can create two splashes by default. Each trident has a very brief (0.05s) cooldown between activating a splash on a new target. The Mermonkey can be placed on both land and water, but has 35% more [[range]] if placed in water. | ||
It can be upgraded to awaken an abyssal creature, fire freezing water attacks, or sing magical songs which heavily impede the bloons. | It can be upgraded to awaken an abyssal creature, fire freezing water attacks, or sing magical songs which heavily impede the bloons. | ||

They fire tridents that act like a mini [[Hydra Rocket Pods (BTD6)|Hydra Rocket Pod]], and gain different attacks as they level up to serve many different niches in the mid to lategame. Its base tower is very strong for its cost despite its relatively slow speed and low range when not placed in water, two-shotting most early-game Bloons. | ||

* The middle path unlocks water based attacks. The tridents now deal freezing damage and do even more damage the further they travel. It gains an ability to fire a huge stream of bouncing ice balls. Range greatly benefits the tower, allowing it to fire at bloons where it would deal the most damage. It also benefits from walls, allowing the ice balls to re-hit targets much more often. | * The middle path unlocks water based attacks.

The song it sings hypnotizes nearby bloons, causing them to circle around the mermonkey for a significant amount of time, and detonates all damage-over-time effects on the target, limited in damage but letting those effects be re-applied. It later can echo the song from a totem, allowing it to be re-positioned and its timing to be reset, and have the song buff [[Hero|Heroes]] and Magic Monkeys. | ||
