| Introduced | Version 50.0 | ||
Silas is a Hero to be introduced in version 50.0. He can be unlocked for 
5,000 starting at level 25.
He is an Ice Monkey capable of using magic to attack Bloons and has great synergy with them. He is placeable on both land and water and freezes water around him, as well as creating a cold aura that reduces the speed of Bloon in his radius, much like Arctic Wind. His main attack covers Bloons in rime, or freezes Bloons that are already rimed, and causes them to take extra damage from other sources.
As he levels up, he provides a passive buff to other Ice Monkeys which allows them to create Ice Fragments while attacking which behave in a similar way to his main attack. He also can create Ice Walls over the track that freezes Bloons that make contact with them, reduces the resistance of White and Zebra Bloons to ice attacks and increases its own XP by having Ice Monkeys nearby, and allows the player to have an additional Tier 5 Ice Monkey, in a similar way on how 
Master Double Cross works, but with any of the three paths.
