'''Glue Gunners''' ('''Acid Gunners''' in ''[[Bloons Pop!]]'') are [[monkey]]s that use [[Monkey Glue]] to slow [[Bloon]]s. They were introduced in ''[[Bloons TD 4]]'', mostly only appearing in mainline [[Bloons TD (series)|''Bloons TD'' games]]. In BTD6, There is a [[Monkey Knowledge (disambiguation)|Monkey knowledge]] called “[[Bonus Glue Gunner]]” that lets you have one free glue gunner per game.

=== [[Bloons TD (series)|''Bloons TD'' series]] ===

The Glue Gunner is a [[tower]] that shoots glue at one Bloon at a time, which slows them for a decent duration~~. The Glue Gunner is cheap compared to other towers and its slowing ability can be very helpful, but it can't properly pop Bloons without upgrades~~.

In ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'', its [[Specialty Building~~|specialty building~~]] is the [[Glue Supply Depot]]~~. Its~~ main [[Monkey Building|buildings]] in ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'' are the [[Glue Gun Range]] and [[Glue Factory]].~~<gallery widths="100" heights="100" style="text~~-~~align:center">~~

In [[Bloons TD 4|''Bloons TD 4'']], it cannot slow [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD4)|Ceramic Bloons]] (though the glue effect is still applied). It includes upgrades that slow Bloons for longer, soak all layers, and slowly damage Bloons. Its ultimate [[upgrade]], [[Glue Splatter (BTD4)|Glue Splatter]], allows it to glue up to 20 Bloons per shot.

=== ''[[Bloons Pop!]]'' ===

In ''Bloons Pop!'', ~~the Glue Gunner (renamed~~ the Acid Gunner~~) exchanges glue for~~ acid that slows advancing Bloons while damaging them for two rounds. It is unlocked at level 5. Its [[Mega Monkey]] form, [[Mega Acid Gunner]], shoots farther-reaching and more damaging globs of acid.<gallery widths="100" heights="100" style="text-align:center">

In ''Bloons Pop!'', the Acid Gunner uses acid that slows advancing Bloons while damaging them for two rounds, dropping acid whenever the monkey lands on Bloons. It is unlocked at level 5.

== Other appearances ==

The Glue Gunner's [[Glue Storm]] ability present since ''Bloons TD 5'' has made appearances as a [[Bonus Power]] in the [[Bloons Supermonkey 2 (mobile)|mobile version of ''Bloons Supermonkey 2'']] (alongside Corrosive Glue) and as a [[Power (BCS)|Basic Power]] [[Glue Storm (BCS)|card]] in [[Bloons Card Storm|''Bloons Card Storm'']].

While not direct representation, in [[Bloons Adventure Time TD|''Bloons Adventure Time TD'']] [[Princess Bubblegum (BATTD)|Princess Bubblegum]] is heavily based off the Glue Gunner, while the [[Slime Princess]] [[Ally (BATTD)|ally]] is a more obvious standin for the base tower.
