===Physical characteristics===

The monkeys of the ''Bloons'' franchise are mostly brown monkeys with medium-sized tails, black eyes, large ears, no nose, four-fingered hands, three-toed feet, 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, [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkeys]] have fur in various shades of blue and pink, and [[Desperado|~~Desperadoes~~]] have pale orange fur and grey skin. 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.

Monkeys worship the Sun God ~~predominantly~~, with some, such as High Priestess [[Adora]] and [[Monkey Priestess]]es, acting as [[wp:Clergy|clergy]].
