'''Defense Prep Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. Its [[armor]] reduces damage taken by 15, and if the player has zero [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]] and any [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s at the end of their [[turn]], it reloads a random friendly Monkey. This On Turn End effect always triggers after Mortars, but before [[Temporary]] Monkeys disappear. | |||
The card artwork depicts two shy monkeys hiding behind a Defense Prep Bloon. Surrounding them all is a lot of barbed wire at a desert. | |||
