The Boomerang Monkey is a Primary tower in Bloons TD 6. It can be unlocked at levels 2 through 6.

The Boomerang Monkey throws boomerangs that travel in an anti-clockwise arc back to it. Its Monkey Special targeting option allows it to change its throwing arm to its left hand and throw boomerangs that travel in a clockwise arc. Its boomerangs can pop up to 4 Bloons each, but cannot pop Lead Bloons or frozen Bloons. It can be upgraded to throw boomerangs that bounce from Bloon to Bloon like Quincy's arrows, increase its attack speed with cybernetic implements, or throw boomerangs that travel in a straight line and stall MOAB-Class Bloons.
