Trivia[]

The toy duck in the portable lake is an instance of a non-mythical animal other than monkeys in the Bloons series.
This Special Agent cannot be used in the Special Mission "Special Agents Only".
- This is because the only Special Agents that can be put in water are the Pontoon and the Tribal Turtle, however, the Tribal Turtle can be placed on land also, and the Pontoon isn't allowed in Special Agents Only.
With the Support Chinook's Special Ability of moving towers, the player can place a tower in the Portable Lake, move the lake with the Special ability, and have the towers in the lake remain where they are.
