Status Effects

Monkey Glue
Monkey Glue causes bloons to be slowed down, and is represented by the affected bloons being coated in glue. The type of glue can affect the color.

Monkey Glue can also inflict damage over time depending on upgrades, for example a Glue Gunner with Corrosive Glue.

MOAB-class bloons are totally immune to Monkey Glue in Bloons Tower Defense 3-5. In BTD6, Monkey Glue can affect MOAB-class bloons, however they are normally immune to the slowdown, similar to Ceramics. Certain upgrades specialize in slowing down MOAB-class bloons.

Monkey Glue is primarily inflicted by the Glue Gunner from BTD4 onward. In BTD3, it exists solely as a Road Item. The Temple of the Monkey God may also inflict Monkey Glue with the appropriate sacrifice.

Monkey Napalm
Monkey Napalm causes affected bloons to catch on fire, popping a certain amount of layers over time. Unlike Monkey Glue, Napalm always looks the same.

Towers that inflict Monkey Napalm:
 * Mortar Tower
 * Burny Stuff
 * Spike Factory
 * Spiked Mines
 * Gwendolin

Freeze
Freeze simply freezes bloons in place. Affected bloons will be coated in a layer of ice, with frost gathering on the top. White and Zebra Bloons are immune to Freeze with some exceptions, as well as all MOAB-class bloons.

Freeze is primarily inflicted by the Ice Tower in all installments of Bloons Tower Defense. The Temple of the Monkey God may also inflict Freeze with the appropriate sacrifice.

Stun
Stun will impair a bloon's movement, either partially or completely. It is usually depicted with cartoon stars orbiting around the bloon's top, however some methods of inflicting Stun will not cause bloons to have stars. In addition, most methods of inflicting Stun will affect only one type of bloon, with most not affecting MOAB-class bloons; this can go both ways.

While Stun is one of the most prolific status effects, it's also the least accessible, being limited to expensive/high-tier upgrades and/or Specialty Buildings.

Towers that can inflict Stun:
 * Mortar Tower (with Mortar Emplacement) (only affects standard Bloons)
 * Pop and Awe
 * Bomb Tower
 * Bloon Impact (only affects standard Bloons)
 * Ninja Monkey
 * Flash Bomb (only affects standard Bloons)
 * Ninja Saboteur (partial Stun)
 * Grand Saboteur (partial Stun)
 * Bloonchipper (with Al's Custom Chippers) (partial Stun)
 * Sniper Monkey
 * Maim MOAB (only affects MOAB-class)
 * Cripple MOAB (only affects MOAB-class)

Radioactive
Radioactive will cause bloons to take damage as long as they are within the range of the affecting tower. Affected bloons will be depicted with a green, radioactive aura.

Radioactive is inflicted solely by the Monkey Sub's upgrade, Bloontonium Reactor.

Acidic
Acid will cause bloons to slowly take damage. Affected bloons have a purple liquid on them.

Alchemists put acid on all bloons they attack.
