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 stops moving and 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.

In Boss Rush, Bloonarius starts with 400 HP, and scales its health by +6.5% every tier. Bloonarius moves at the same speed at all tiers, which is a speed value of 0.75 (0.03x Red Bloon speed). Damaging Bloonarius produces a wave of Scattered Bloons, and beating a tier makes it send a stronger wave of Scattered Bloons. Every 10 tiers, it summons a wave of Skull Bloons.

More Cash, +$250 with Starting Stash).

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 Elite Defender is always a reliable option on Tier 1. A combination of Embrittlement / Super Brittle with Overdrive / The Tack Zone or Poplust / Avatar of Wrath shine due Bloonarius low speed, meaning it can stay on the range of those towers for longer. Spike Storm / Carpet of Spikes and Sticky Bomb / Master Bomber are only effective also on longer maps due Bloonarius high HP. M.A.D can also be used with caution on its placement 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 or to First if their help is needed to deal 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 / Glaive Lord, The Big One, Bloon Liquefier / The Bloon Solver, Jungle's Bounty / Spirit of the Forest, the abilities of the Blade 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.
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.
