Monkeys are a species of primates and the main characters of the Bloons franchise. Since the introduction of the Dart Monkey in the Bloons series, monkeys have appeared in some form in almost every Bloons game to date. Their enemies are the Bloons, balloon-like objects that threaten "the very social fabric of monkey society".[1]
"Monkey" is often used within Bloons games as an umbrella term for playable gameplay elements, even if it includes non-monkey animals such as Wolves and inanimate objects such as Banana Farms (though many of the latter are monkey-operated).
Gameplay
Monkeys comprise the vast majority of towers in the Bloons TD series. In Bloons Monkey City, Bloons TD 6, and Bloons TD Battles 2, "monkeys" and "monkey towers" are often used to refer to towers as a whole. Not all towers are referred to as monkeys; most Special Agents are only referred to as towers, as most of them are based on non-monkey animals (with the exception of the Super Monkey Storm, Portable Lake, Pontoon, and Banana Farmer, all of which have been referred to as monkeys in later appearances), and in Bloons Adventure Time TD, the term "monkey" is used to refer to a specific group of monkey characters.
In BTD6 and Battles 2, monkey towers are grouped into one of five different categories: Primary, Military, Magic, Support, and Heroes.
The Bloons Supermonkey series stars Super Monkey as the main playable character, but in Bloons Supermonkey 2, he is joined by Ice Monkey, Storm Monkey, Dr. Monkey, and Allies, which are temporary monkeys summoned by powerups.

Monkeys are a type of card in Bloons Card Storm. They are the primary means of defending the player against the opponent's Bloons.
Biology
Physical characteristics
The monkeys of the Bloons franchise are mostly brown monkeys with medium-sized tails, black eyes, large ears, and yellowish skin, though much variance exists in the colors of their fur. Druids have pale tan fur, Ice Monkeys have very pale blue fur and darker blue skin, and Mermonkeys have fur in various shades of blue and pink. It is also common for them to have reddish or orange fur. Many monkeys also have hair, separate from their fur.
They do not appear to be based off of any real-life primate species in particular.
Diet

This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice elaborates: other examples of non-banana food |
Monkeys eat a variety of foods, but have a strong preference for bananas.[2][3] Monkeys are incapable of getting hyperkalemia.[4] Other foods they eat include pancakes[5] and pizza.[3]
Society and culture
Language
Monkeys speak a variety of real-world languages. Most monkeys speak English, but some are bilingual and speak other languages such as French, Portuguese, and Korean.
The monkeys have their own writing system called Monklish. Contrary to popular belief, Monklish is not the main spoken language of the monkeys. It seems to be exclusively or almost exclusively used as a writing system[6], as NinjaKiwi "has yet to hear [the monkeys] speak in Monklish".
Monklish is also available in Bloons TD 6 as a selectable language, though the usable Monklish is simply English in another script rather than a full language.
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), and they use both magic and science in their battles against the Bloons. However, the majority of them seem to prefer more low-tech lives - most monkeys don't even wear clothes.
