Hotkey Unassigned
Introduced Version 44.0

The Mermonkey is a Magic tower in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 44.0. It is unlocked by popping 3 million Bloon layers.

The Mermonkey attacks by throwing tridents that create damaging splashes around each Bloon they hit, similar to Hydra Rocket Pods and Captain Churchill's explosives. Each trident can create two splashes by default. The Mermonkey can be placed on both land and water, but has 25% more range if placed in water. Its first upgrade path is deep sea-themed and focuses on improving its attack speed, buffing nearby towers' pierce, and empowering an Abyssal Creature that attacks Bloons with its tentacles. Its second path is Greek mythology-themed and focuses on improving its trident attack, as well as granting it the ability to freeze Bloons with its trident and its Activated Ability. Its third path is Siren-themed and focuses on Camo detection and seeking projectiles, improving its range, applying effects to Bloons, and buffing Heroes.
