Polyphemus is an Intermediatemap in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 36.0. It is an island shaped like a flatiron with walls and trees along its left shoreline. It is named after Polyphemus, the one-eyed giant son of Poseidon and Thoosa in Greek mythology and one of the Cyclops described in the Odyssey, and is a continuation of the themes of Lotus Island and Odyssey mode.
This map features a unique mechanic where towers placed inside the large eye-shaped pool are provided the following buffs:
At the end of every round that ends in 5 (5, 15, 25, 35, etc.), the eye closes, which disables all towers currently in it and prevents more towers from being placed in it. If a Beast Handler has a water beast inside it and the Beast Handler or Beast Handler network can reach another body of water with its range, the beast will be relocated, otherwise it is also disabled. The eye can be reopened by spending cash, starting at $0 on round 5 and increasing by $500 every 10 rounds (even if the player doesn't pay to reopen it), which restores the towers that were trapped inside it.
