Dan D'Monke is a [[Hero]] with two forms. His base form, Monkey of the Court, has a fast melee attack and focuses on support. His other form, The Masqued Macaque, trades his attack speed for damage and causes his attacks to sometimes unleash chain lightning. In both forms, he is immune to [[negative effect]]s and has several other attacks and mechanics, namely Net Traps, Magic Barrier, Taunt & Stomp, Quick Thinking, and First Aid. He focuses on reducing [[life|lives]] lost by pushing Bloons away from the exit and reducing the lives deducted by Bloons that leak, as well as healing lost lives and generating [[Mana Shield (life)|Mana Shield]]. His first [[Activated Ability]] triggers his transformation, while the other two have different effects depending on his current form. | Dan D'Monke is a [[Hero]] with two forms.

No matter what form, Dan D'Monke is pompous, flamboyant and prideful, sporting a very prominent British accent. It's implied he is particularly keen about his handsome looks and fashion. As the Masqued Macaque, he gets even more cunning and theatrical, playing up his dashing rogue image. | No matter what form, Dan D'Monke is pompous, flamboyant and prideful, sporting a very prominent British accent.

Dan would really rather not monkeys make the connection between him and his alter ego, referring to the Macaque as a separate person as Dan and claiming he doesn't know Dan D'Monke (but he sounds handsome) as the Masqued Macaque. | Dan would really rather not monkeys make the connection between him and his alter ego, referring to the Macaque as a separate person as Dan and claiming he doesn't know Dan D'Monke (but he sounds handsome) as the Masqued Macaque. Dan's efforts to keep his identity a secret are so effective, there is no irrefutable evidence that they are one and the same.<ref name=":1">[https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/1u9mi7b/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_19th_june_2026/ "What's Up At Ninja Kiwi - 19th June 2026"].
