A.E.T.H.E.R.

The A.E.T.H.E.R., or Astronomically Extravagant Turbo Hidden Engravement diRigible, is a bloon. It is M.O.A.B. class, and it has an attack or two, but it is no boss. It takes 800 hits to pop and its first 100 layers are camo, hence the "Hidden". It has three stages of damage, and its actions change as well. From 800 to 700 HP left, it is camo and won't attack. From 700 HP to 250 HP left, it is no longer camo and will use its primary attack. When at 250 to 1 HP left, it uses both attacks, moves 10% faster, and regains camo status. It is unaffected by Signal Flare when in its first camo stage, but it is vulnerable to that when in its second. It contains 2 MOABs and 2 Ceramic Bloons, giving it an RBE of 2240.

Attacks
Photon Ray: Blinds towers with a weak light beam, dealing 0.05 damage a second and halving the range of non-mechanical non-building towers. This is the primary attack.

Cloud of Doom: Sends in a suffocating cloud of chlorine gas that deals 25 damage to non-mechanical non-building towers. Mechanical towers take 18 damage and buildings take only 3. This is the rarer secondary attack.
