'''Giganotosaurus''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. In order to upgrade to Giganotosaurus, the [[Tyrannosaurus Rex|T-Rex]] must have 3 additional merged T-Rexes.

'''Giganotosaurus''' is the [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Beast Handler now handles a giganotosaurus instead of a tyrannosaurus rex. In order to upgrade to Giganotosaurus, the [[Tyrannosaurus Rex|T-Rex]] must have 3 additional merged T-Rexes. Its Beast Power is increased by +20, changing its Beast Power scale from 16–64 to 36–132, with the default being 84 with the three extra tier 4s.

Giganotosaurus ~~does significantly more damage to all its attacks,~~ its base range is increased to 50, ~~and~~ can see over all obstacles~~. However~~, ~~the bite attack has~~ a +~~25% attack speed penalty~~. ~~Ability~~ cooldown ~~for its Stomp ability is reduced~~ from ~~35s~~ to 25s, the Stomp ability covers the whole screen, and stuns ~~most bloons~~ for ~~longer~~. ~~Like T-Rex~~, ~~merging~~ to ~~max power allows all its attacks~~ to ~~penetrate MOAB-class layers~~.

The Giganotosaurus' bite its base range is increased to 50, bite radius increases from 18 to 24, can see over all obstacles, can penetrate blimp layers at any Beast Power (instead of only at max Power), and gains a variety of stat changes that are improved by merges:

*'''Damage''': Increased from 20–60 to 750–1550, with a default of 1150 at 84/132 Beast Power.

*'''Bonus stunned damage''': Increased from +8–21 to +250–516

*'''Pierce''': Increased from 20–45 to 44–110, starting at 77 pierce at 84/132.

*'''Attack cooldown''': Increased from 1s to 1.25s, 0.9061s at max Beast Power, and starts at 1.078s at 84/132.

Additionally, the Stomp ability covers the whole screen, and stuns all affected Bloons for at least twice as long (Bloons: 12s, MOAB: 8s, BFB: 6s, ZOMG and DDT: 4s). Its stat changes are also improved from merges:

*'''Damage''': Increased from 150–202 to 300–1100, with 700 at 84/132.

*'''Pierce''': Increased from 400–433 to 600–690, with 645 at 84/132.

*'''Ability cooldown''': Decreased from 40–19.03 seconds to 25–15.51 seconds, with 20.255s at 84/132.

Giganotosaurus is very powerful, but has few practical uses. Giganotosaurus's poor single-target damage is outclassed by [[Megalodon]], which lasts longer into [[Freeplay]] and has more efficient damage per dollar and space, including versus [[Boss Bloon]]s. However, its capability to skip blimp layers makes it not a bad choice in [[CHIMPS]]. Its slow attack speed is a nuisance, remaining weak to fast-moving DDTs, MOABs, and clumps of Super Ceramics without its Stomp ability. It has one of the simplest save-ups of any expensive tower thanks to the high strength of [[Tyrannosaurus Rex|T-Rex]].

In the saveup to Giganotosaurus, the maxed T-Rex is typically better than four separate T-Rexes, as the focused damage and blimp layer-skipping are better value than multiple lower-powered T-Rexes, which are only better for the stuns.
