Ninja Monkey iterations: BTD5 • Battles • BSM2 • BMC • BTD6 • Bloons Pop! • Battles 2 • BCS

The Ninja Monkey is a monkey introduced in Bloons TD 5. It has innate camo detection in all of its appearances and almost always uses shurikens to pop the bloons.

Gameplay

edit

Ninja Monkeys throw shurikens that pop several Bloons each, and always detect Camos. It has upgrades that increase the number of shurikens per second, pop more Bloons, or add special attacks or abilities that help other Ninjas (starting from Bloons TD 6) or sabotage Bloons.

In Bloons TD 5, the top path focuses on increased efficiency of shurikens, and the bottom path focuses on guerilla tactics to pursue and sabotage the Bloons. Most top path upgrades increase the number of shurikens per second, except one upgrade which only increases pierce. The bottom path allows shurikens to seek and have a chance to blow away Bloons, occasionally throw flash bombs that stun Bloons, and slow down incoming Bloons. Its Specialty Building in BTD5 is the Ninja Academy, while its main buildings in Bloons Monkey City are the Ninja Abode and Ninja Dojo.

Starting from Bloons TD 6, the middle path becomes the guerilla tactics path, which additionally includes stripping Camo properties, buffing the attack speed and pierce of nearby Ninjas, and cutting health of incoming MOAB-Class Bloons. The bottom path becomes the tactical weapons path, with shurikens that seek, and additional weapons including caltrops, flash bombs, and sticky bombs. In BTD6, it has a Paragon called the Ascended Shadow.

The Ninja is an Ally that consists of a trio of monkeys: two smaller monkeys on the left and right that throw shurikens, and a larger monkey in the middle that uses its katanas to slowly fire large X-shaped projectiles straight ahead. In the mobile version, it benefits from Boomerang research. In the Flash version, it cannot pop Lead Bloons.

The Ninja Monkey is a Monkey unlocked at level 10. It attacks Bloons after contacting a Bloon initially, automatically swiping onto random regions that contain Bloons at the edges, and damaging Bloons that are struck between swipes. Its Mega Monkey variant, Mega Ninja Monkey, swipes more times and triggers shurikens that are shot orthogonally and diagonally around itself.

"Ninja" is a Monkey type shared by four Magic-class cards, including the basic Ninja Monkey. All of them detect Camo Bloons.
