Boomerang Monkeys (also known as Boomerang Throwers or just Boomerangs) are monkeys that use various kinds of boomerangs to attack Bloons. They were introduced in Bloons Tower Defense 2 and have made a playable appearance in almost every TD game and spinoff since.

Gameplay

Bloons TD series

The Boomerang Monkey is a tower that throws a curved boomerang in an arc that returns to it if its pierce is not exhausted. It is usually cheap and excels on curved paths and loops, but struggles on straight lanes and against fast Bloons.

Likely based off the Rang Bloon from Bloons, the tower was introduced in Bloons Tower Defense 2 as the Boomerang. It has 2 pierce and two upgrades in that game, one that increases its pierce to 5 and one that allows it to pop frozen Bloons.

In Bloons Tower Defense 3, the Boomerang gains two more upgrades, one increasing its pierce to 8 and one allowing it to pop Lead Bloons.

In Bloons TD 4, the Boomerang Thrower's ultimate upgrade is the Lightsabre Thrower, allowing it to pop up to 70 Bloons of any type per shot.

In Bloons TD 5, it has two paths, both focusing on DPS. The top path focuses on amount of Bloons popped, ending with Glaive Lord, while the bottom path focuses on attack speed, ending with Turbo Charge. Its Specialty Building in BTD5 is the Boomerang Dojo, while its main buildings in Bloons Monkey City are the Boomerang Hut and Monkey Academy (in the Flash version) or the Boomerang Institute (in the mobile version).

In Bloons TD 6, the Boomerang Monkey's two paths from BTD5 return in slightly modified form, and a third path is added focusing on firing in straight lines and MOAB knockback.

The Boomerang Monkey appears as a Common ally in Bloons Adventure Time TD. It functions much the same as previous iterations, though its only two upgrades increases its pierce from 3 to 7 and popping all Bloon types.

Bloons Supermonkey series

While the Boomerang Monkey itself is absent, the Boomerang branch of weapons in both games are based off its upgrades, and the Boomerang Thrower upgrade from Bloons Supermonkey 2 is directly named after it.

Bloons Pop!

The Boomerang Monkey is unlocked at level 2. It drops down onto Bloons, throwing two boomerangs around it per bounce. It disappears after either hitting the ground border or bouncing off five Bloons. Its Mega Monkey variant, Mega Boomerang Monkey, pops more Bloons and has an orbiting ring of glaives around it.

General information

Appearance

The base Boomerang Monkey is usually depicted as a standard monkey with brown fur, tan skin, and brown eyes wearing a yellow bodysuit with a red curved line on the head (which was a proper boomerang symbol for its first three appearances). It is unclear if the suit benefits their skill in any way.
