Towers

A Tower (or Monkey in BTD6 and BTDB2) is a unit that helps the player fight off (or at least contribute to forces against) Bloons. With the exception of the Banana Farm and the Monkey Village, every tower can attack bloons without upgrades in the series Bloons TD (although Monkey Village can attack with the High Energy Beacon and Primary Expertise upgrades). They are all unique, with increasing power generally accompanied by increasing cost.

Many of the towers are either monkeys, units maintained by a monkey, or units owned by a monkey, with the exception of Tack Shooter, Bomb Tower, Ice Tower (between BTD1 to BTD4), and Banana Farm (unless upgraded to Monkey Bank or above, or Marketplace or above).

In the first Bloons TD game, there were 5 towers: the Dart Monkey, Tack Shooter, Super Monkey, Ice Tower and Bomb Tower. Each game adds more towers than the previous one.

Starting from Bloons TD 5, Sub-Towers have been introduced, originating from a particular tower type with special stats that can be inherited from their parent.

Special variants of towers called Heroes have been added in BTD6 and BTDB2. Heroes function much differently from ordinary towers, although they can be both considered towers and not considered towers depending on how they are viewed.

All Towers in the BTD series
Below is a list of towers that have been featured throughout the Bloons TD series, in the order as they appear in BTD6, but with additional separate towers from previous generations if any.

Special Agents aren't included here, unless they are also normal towers in at least one game (e.g. the Beekeeper).
