The idea for the Tribal Monkey is a monkey who lived through ancient times and is still youthful because of some kind of magic. He spends his extended life to master the art of the spear. However, his total isolation from the world has its drawbacks. He is cool and confident like the Super Monkey and his fate is decided by the 2 upgrade paths. 1 leads to the future and the other leads to tradition. The concept for the Future path is slightly inspired by Viscero Xin Zhao.

Tribal Monkey (Please make the costs for me.) [Make 1st 2 for each path cheap then the last upgrade ultra expensive.]

It is a close-ranged monkey that slowly attacks by  skewering all bloons in a straight line with its spear, dealing 1 RBE damage with unlimited pierce. It also damages Frozen Bloons. With no upgrades, it's traditional monkey ways guide it to attack only at the Strong setting.

Path 1 - Warrior of the Future

1. First Encounter - The Tribal Monkey uses clairvoyance on nearby monkeys, increasing its range to the direction of nearby monkeys. (No longer maintains circle range)

2. Newfound Wisdom - The modern monkeys teaches the Tribal Monkey effective modern ways, allowing the new Line attack setting. (Draw a line in its attack range where its spear will travel.). This allows it to effficiently strike a whole line of bloons.

3. Modernization - The Tribal Monkey transforms to the Future Warrior. It wields a high-tech spear with nano-spikes which allows it tear through Lead and Camo and heat-seeking goggles which let it see and show nearby allies camo bloons.

4. Reinforcements (Ability) - The Future Warrior calls reinforcements, covering every available space in the map with Destroyers and Spectres for 10 seconds.

Path 2 - Warrior from the Past

1. No New Enemy - A lifetime of training gives the Tribal Monkey mastery in spear-to-bloon

combat. The Tribal Monkey attacks faster.

2. Ancient Wisdom - The Tribal Monkey recites a mantra about the weakspot of bloons. No one seems to understand it but it helps him remember. Allows the Tribal Monkey to attack with double popping power. (Applies after other Popping Power bonuses.)

3. Traditional Symbols - The Tribal Monkey marks himself as the Grandmaster. The Tribal Monkey paints his face with warpaint made of magic berries, allowing him to see camo bloons. Also, The Tribal Monkey bears a warrior's insignia of honor. This rune allows the new "cleave" attack setting. This makes him pop bloons around him but now with a limited pierce.

4.War Horn (Ability)- The Grandmaster Blow's a loud horn which inspires him and all monkeys within range, greatly increasing their attack speeds. Hope you guys like it.
