The Skywarden[1] is an upcoming Magic[2] monkey in Bloons TD 6, set to release in version 56.0 in August.[3] It is an archer that, according to a response on the Ninja Kiwi Blog, relies on magic to blow the Bloons away.[4] It uses a bow to shoot arrows at the Bloons, and begins to shoot faster the longer the tower is attacking, similar to the Druid of Wrath.
