The '''VTSG''' (short for '''Vengeful True Sun God''') is a more powerful form of the [[True Sun God (BTD6)|True Sun God]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|3.0}}. It increases the [[damage]] of the True Sun God's [[attack]]s and [[sub-tower]]s, making it the most powerful non-[[Paragon]] tower in the game. Despite being called a "5-5-5 tower", it is unrelated to Paragons and operates on different mechanics. | |||

*The tower's model, visual effects, and portrait change. This also applies to its [[sub-tower]]s. (Vengeful Sun Avatars instead of regular Sun Avatars) | |||
*Its main [[attack]] deals +35 [[damage]]. | |||
*All additional attacks from its sacrifices deal double the normal damage (before [[buff]]s and other stat modifiers). This also applies to its sub-towers. | |||
*If [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]] is transformed into True Adora, the VTSG will transform her into Vengeful Adora. This unlocks the [[Strangely Adorable]] [[achievement]]. The differences are otherwise purely cosmetic. | |||
**If playing on [[Adora's Temple]], it also triggers an [[List of Easter eggs in BTD6#Adora's Temple|Easter egg]] that transforms the temple into a darker version. The differences are purely cosmetic. | |||
*If activated on the podium on [[Lotus Island]], it triggers an [[List of Easter eggs in BTD6#Lotus Island|Easter egg]] that turns all the pollen orbs purple and increases their stun duration. | |||

The names "Vengeful True Sun God" and (less common) "Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey" were originally community-created names derived from the name of the [[Temple of the Vengeful Monkey]] in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'' and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', which the VTSG appears to be based on. The VTSG was not given an official name when it was first released, though internally, many assets use the number "555" to distinguish them from assets pertaining to the normal True Sun God. The abbreviation "VTSG" was first used in an official capacity in the patch notes for {{BTD6 version|27.0}}, though the same patch notes also refer to it as the "Vengeful version", the '''555 temple''', and the '''555 Super Monkey'''.<ref>{{cite|quote=Temples feel like far too much of the bulk of total power in deeper Freeplay scenarios. While this is their role, ever since adding the hidden Vengeful version of the Temple the VTSG has pushed ahead so much that it nearly invalidates other freeplay tower options. While this change won’t completely alter that, we have scaled back temples compared to the new Paragons & expensive regular towers by reducing the damage bonus of 555 temple by 33%, and also roughly easing up on the freeplay health ramping of MOABs by a similar amount{{sic}}|title=Bloons TD 6 - Update Notes!
