On Frozen Over, it appears beneath the ice in the lower-right corner. A player can free it by hitting the ice above it with [[Mortar Monkey (BTD6)|Mortar Monkey]] shells 30 times. Once released, it jumps out of the ice and lands in a random area near the entrance of the track. In [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]], it becomes owned by the lowest-numbered active player (i.e. player 1, unless that player quits). The Cave Monkey cannot be used on any other [[map]]. It has no [[upgrade]]s and returns no [[cash]] when [[sell|sold]], and if removed from the game (by selling it, removing an [[Arctic Wind (BTD6)|Arctic Wind]]'s ice platform, etc), there is no way to get it back without starting a new game.


The Cave Monkey [[attack]]s by batting nearby [[Bloon]]s with its club, which [[damage]]s and [[stun]]s to up to 5 Bloons per hit. It stuns regular Bloons for 1 second and stuns [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]]s, [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]]s, [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMG]]s, and (if visible) [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]]s for 0.25 seconds. It can damage and stun any Bloon type, but it cannot detect [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s on its own. It has a very short [[range]] and a middling [[attack speed]], though unlike other [[Tower category#Items|item towers]], it can be [[tower buff|buffed]].
