The monkeys of the ''Bloons'' franchise are mostly brown monkeys with medium-sized tails, black eyes, large ears, and yellowish skin, though much variance exists in the colors of their fur. [[Druid (BTD6)|Druids]] have pale tan fur, [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkeys]] have very pale blue fur and darker blue skin, and [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkeys]] have fur in various shades of blue and pink. It is also common for them to have reddish or orange fur. Many monkeys also have hair, separate from their fur.

===Technology===
The monkeys have technology that is, in more ways than not, more advanced than human technology. They are able to use cybernetics to recreate the bodies of monkeys who have been badly injured or lost limbs (for example, [[Cyber Quincy (BTD6)|Cyber Quincy]]), and they use both magic and science in their battles against the Bloons. Technology sees the Sun God as a benchmark of destruction that they try matching with technology by utilizing [[Phase Crystal]]s for the [[Ray of Doom]].<ref>[[Bloons Monkey City]] Crystal Fusion Array description</ref> However, the majority of them seem to prefer more low-tech lives - most monkeys don't even wear clothes.

Most Monkeys worship the Sun God, with some, such as High Priestess [[Adora]] and the [[Monkey Priestess]]es, acting as [[wp:Clergy|clergy]]. Clerical devotion can be fervent, though the Monkey Priestesses are patient in their pursuits to join the Sun God.<ref>[[Bloons Card Storm]] Monkey Priestess card description</ref> In addition to the Sun God, there are various lesser-known deities, including an ancient springtime goddess<ref>[[Bloons Pop!]] Flora Adora description</ref> and [[Popseidon]], the [[Mermonkey]]s' god.
