Bloonoa Virus

"Being reanimated versions of otherwise-inanimate inflatable objects, Bloons are entirely independent of food and water. Nor do they suffer from the other typical ailments encountered in conventional warfare, such as fatigue, loss of morale, sleeplessness, or a majority of diseases. Monkeys do. We had to find a way to turn the tables on our inflatable foes, something to make Monkeys become completely self-sufficient organisms, totally independent of supplies and even oxygen. With this idea, the Bloonoa Virus was born. A thanatological pathogen capable of reanimating Monkeys as Bloon-thirsty undead creatures. However, early tests had some major problems, such as when one time a test subject attempted to attack one of our scientists when he was examining him. After years of tedious genetic modification, we finally have perfected a strain of the virus that not only reanimates its host but leaves certain intellectual personality processes intact, including those that allow the host to improvise, obey orders and recognize fellow Monkeys as anything other than prey. Nevertheless, Monkey Rights protocols restricted the testing and use of this virus on terminally-ill or mortally-wounded patients who volunteer for the project. No matter; soon we will create enough Monkey Zombies for use in situations where it'd be dangerous to send living forces such as in hazardous environments and underwater raids. May the Monkey God be with us all."

The Bloonoa Virus is a pathogen that appears in BTD7: Planet of the Apes. It is the source of how the Monkey Empire was able to create Monkey Zombies.
