Bloonarius, titled The Inflator, is a Boss Bloon in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 27.0. It is the first boss introduced to the game, and has the simplest mechanics relative to other bosses.
Bloonarius has an immense amount of Health, and spawns Bloons all over the track as it takes damage. It spawns especially large waves of Bloons right in front of it when a skull on its health bar is reached.
Mechanics
Scattered Bloons
For each 1% of health Bloonarius loses, it spawns a certain type of Bloon all over the track depending on its type and tier. These Bloons can be identified by being covered by a dark green sludge. Upon spawning, these Bloons are briefly immune to damage. Bloonarius scatters additional amounts of these Bloons when it reaches a skull.
Skull Bloons
When a skull is reached, Bloonarius stops moving for 0.5s and spawns a more difficult wave of Bloons directly in front of it. Like Scattered Bloons, Skull Bloons are briefly immune to damage upon spawning.
All Bloons spawned by Bloonarius provide no cash when popped. However, they do add to towers' pop counts.
List of Scattered and Skull Bloons
| Type | Tier | Bloons Spawned at Each Skull | Bloons Scattered at Each Skull | Bloons Scattered per 1% HP |

| 40 | MOAB replaced by 6 Ceramic Bloons |

Strategy
Compared to other bosses, Bloonarius is the most simple in terms of its mechanics, but should not be underestimated, specially in the lower tiers, as the Bloons it spawns when damaged and after reaching a skull can easily overrun unprepared defenses.
Tier 1 and 2 defenses are usually split on towers that can reliably damage the boss and towers with very high pierce that can handle the spawns.
In the first category towers like Overdrive / The Tack Zone / Spike Storm or Avatar of Wrath with Poplust + Embrittlement / Super Brittle shine due Bloonarius low speed, meaning it can stay on the range of those towers for longer. Sticky Bomb and Master Bomber are also reliable options if the players can handle the bigger spawns produced by the heavier attacks. M.A.D can also be used with caution as the pierce on its rockets can be consumed by the spawns before it reaches the boss. Towers that are used for damaging the boss should have their targeting set to Strong if possible to avoid getting them distracted with the spawns
For defending the spawns in the lower tiers, specially after a skull, towers with very high pierce are needed, common examples are multiple M.O.A.R Glaives or a Glaive Lord, Mortar Monkeys (specially top path/crosspath, aiming them close to the exit), Spirit of the Forest, the abilities of the Blade Maelstrom / Super Maelstrom and Geraldo's Blade Trap.
Tiers 3 and higher can be handled with expensive towers and Paragons, the defenses used for the boss itself are also usually enough to handle the spawns with the only limiting factor being range.
Unlike other bosses, Bloonarius doesn't have an immunity or any sort of protection from receiving extra damage when a skull is reached, meaning powerful attacks can trigger several skulls at once, allowing towers like First Strike Capability and the explosion of Master Builder's Mega Sentries to beat the lower and middle tiers of Bloonarius in a few seconds, however the Boss will still spawn all the Bloons it would normally do at the same time, meaning the player must be ready to defend this huge cluster of Bloons.
In Boss Rush, Bloonarius can be handled using towers like Sauda, MOAB SHREDR, Overdrive, Embrittlement, Destroyer or Poplust during the early game with Glaive Ricochet, Druid of the Jungle or Recursive Cluster handling the spawns. During the mid-game the defense transitions into the upgrades of the mentioned towers and finish with Super Mines and Apex Plasma Master or a Glaive Dominus.
