| ~ Bloons TD 5 Description of Camo Bloons |
The Camo Bloon is a bloon that made its debut in Bloons TD 4. Its RBE is 11 (the game says it's 9, but it actually takes 11 hits to pop). They move at around the same speed as the Blue Bloon. In BTD4, they contain 2 Pink Bloons. However, in BTD5, they could be anything from a Red Bloon to a Ceramic Bloon. MOAB-class bloons cannot be camos, nor can their children (though the D.D.T. is an exception). They cannot be targeted by most towers. However, there are upgrades that can make surrounding towers and/or themselves able to see them, such as Sonar Beacon and Crow's Nest. Camo bloons first appear on round 24 in both BTD4 and BTD5.
Camo detection
Camo Bloons can only be detected by some monkeys, usually requiring some upgrades or a nearby tower that gives them that ability. It is necessary in both BTD4 and BTD5.
Camo detection in Bloons TD 4
If another tower targets a Bloon and a Camo Bloon gets in the way, the Camo Bloon will be popped. If a tower with piercing projectiles targets a Bloon in front of a Camo Bloon, both will be popped. Usually, all you need is one set of Road Spikes or a Pineapple to set off a chain reaction. Camo RBE: 11 (BTD4)
The following towers and upgrades allow the tower and/or nearby towers to detect Camo Bloons:
| Tower | Upgrade | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monkey Beacon | Sonar Beacon (Upgrade #3) | Allows detection to all nearby towers. The Monkey Storm Beacon destroys all bloons including camo bloons. |
| Monkey Ace | No upgraded required | Spy Plane (Upgrade #2) allows all towers near the ace to detect Camo Bloons. |
| Monkey Buccaneer | Crow's Nest (Upgrade #2) | Allows detection to all towers within its range (including itself). |
| Monkey Apprentice | Crystal Ball (Premium Upgrade) | Crystal Ball costs  10 and also increases the Monkey Apprentice's attack range in addition to allowing Camo detection.
|
| Dartling Gun | No upgrade required | Can pop camos anywhere unupgraded. |
| Spike Factory | No upgrade required | Pops any bloons, including Camo, that run over its spikes on the track. |
| Road Spikes | N/A | Pops any bloons, including Camo, that run over the spikes on the track. One pile in BTD4 will pop all of the camo, even though its RBE is 11, and spikes do 10 damage. |
| Pineapple | N/A | Pops any bloons, including Camo, that get caught in blast radius. 1 damage only. |
Camo detection in Bloons TD 5
Camo bloons can be any bloons from Red Bloons to Ceramic Bloons: therefore their RBE can be from 1 to 104 unlike in BTD4. If a tower cannot see camo bloons, its projectiles will go straight through them without doing any damage to them. A camo bloon can also be Regrowth at the same time.
The following towers and upgrades allow the tower and/or nearby towers to detect and also target Camo Bloons:
| Tower | Upgrade | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dart Monkey | Enhanced Eyesight (Path 1, Upgrade 2) | Dart Monkeys will also get a bit more range with this upgrade. If it has the Triple Darts upgrade, it can pop up to 3 layers of the camo bloon. |
| Sniper Monkey | Night Vision Goggles (Path 2, Upgrade 2) | Can pop camo bloons. |
| Boomerang Thrower | Glaive Lord (Path 1, Upgrade 4) | It can pop infinte amount of bloons as long as the glaives touches it. Aso allows to pop lead bloons. |
| Ninja Monkey | No upgrade needed | If timed correctly, and it has Double Shot or Bloonjitsu, the Ninja can pop up to two or five layers of the camo bloon, respectively. |
| Bomb Tower | MOAB Assassin (Path 2, Upgrade 4, Ability only) | Only works if the ability is activated when the camo bloon is the strongest bloon on screen. Even then, it only pops one layer. |
| Ice Tower | Viral Frost (Path 1, Upgrade 4); Absolute Zero (Path 2, Upgrade 4, Ability only); Tier 4 Ice Fortress (BTD5 iOS only) | Camo Bloons can be affected by the Viral Frost; Absolute Zero Ability can freeze camo bloons regardless of support for camo detection; Tier 4 Ice Fortress allows to lose the camo status. |
| Glue Gunner | Glue Striker (Path 2, Upgrade 4, Ability only) | Glue Strike Ability can glue camo bloons regardless of support for camo detection. |
| Monkey Buccaneer | Crow's Nest (Path 2, Upgrade 2); Tier 3 Pirate Cove | Lets the tower itself (only) be able to detect camo bloons; Tier 3 Pirate Cove also grants other towers in range Camo detection if upgraded to Crow's Nest. |
| Monkey Ace | Spy Plane (Path 2, Upgrade 2) | Spy Plane lets itself (only) to be able to detect camo bloons. Spectre and Neva-Miss Targeting cannot pop camo bloons without this upgrade, but their projectiles can target them. |
| Monkey Apprentice | Monkey Sense (Path 2, Upgrade 2) | Allows all attacks from the tower to be able to pop camo bloons. |
| Monkey Village | Radar Scanner (Path 2, Upgrade 2) | Allows detection to all nearby towers. High Energy Beacon cannot pop camo bloons without this upgrade. |

| Heli Pilot (BTD5 iOS and Android only) | Enhanced IFR Instruments (Path 2, Upgrade 2) | Can pop camo bloons. |
Trivia
- 11 hits are needed to pop the entire Camo Bloon in BTD4, yet one bunch of Road Spikes (10 spikes) can pop it.
- Also, it only takes 9 lives instead of 11, meaning it is little worse to let the 2 Pink Bloons get away then to let the Camo Bloon get away.
- In BTD5, Camo Bloons can be very dangerous, especially on Round 78, which contains a dense amount of Camo Ceramic Bloons.
- The only thing in Bloons TD 5 that can make camo bloons lose its power-up is the Mortar Tower with the Signal Flare. Aim it at the start of the track and make it so that it can attack fast to almost stop any camo bloons from using its ability against you. In Bloons Tower Defense 5 Deluxe, however, you can also use the Monkey Engineer's Cleansing Foam, or the Tier 4 Ice Fortress in BTD5 iOS.
- The first Camo Bloon appears in Round 24. In BTD5 it is one green.
- There is a Special Mission in Bloons TD 5 that makes all bloons camo in the mission except MOAB-Class bloons. The mission is called Covert Pops.
- Blade Maelstrom, Technological Terror and Activate Sea Monster! abilities cannot hit Camos even if the towers themselves can detect them.
- In BTD4, it is possible for towers to "accidentally" pop a camo bloon without camo-detection; however this will not work in BTD5 because all attacks from towers without camo detection will miss them.
- Dartling Gun, Ninja Monkey and Spike Factory are the only towers (not agents) without an upgrade capable of allowing them to detect camo bloons.
