Introduced Version 50.0

Silas is a Hero to be introduced in version 50.0.

He is an Ice Monkey capable of using magic to attack Bloons and has great synergy with them. He freezes water around him and creates a cold aura that reduces the speed of Bloon in his radius, both traits being similar to Arctic Wind. His main attack consists of launching Ice Fragments to the Bloons, reducing their speed by half and freezing them, while also creating an explosion if it targets an already frozen Bloon.

As he levels up, he provides a passive buff to other Ice Monkeys which allows them to create Ice Fragments while attacking which behave in a similar way to his main attack. He also can create Ice Walls over the track that freezes Bloons that make contact with them, reduces the resistance of White and Zebra Bloons to ice attacks and increases its own XP by having Ice Monkeys nearby, and allows the player to have an additional Tier 5 Ice Monkey, in a similar way on how Master Double Cross Master Double Cross works, but with any of the three paths.
