The Art Monkey is a magic monkey created by JustLeafy. It can be unlocked at level 20 and it can only be placed on land. It also has a range of 200px, can paint a bloon every 250 milliseconds, it can only paint one layer of bloon without upgrades and it costs 625$ to buy.
It doesn't "pop" bloons, but it "paints" the bloons child of a bloon as a way to "pop" a bloon layer. However, it can still "pop" red bloons.
Discovery[]
Once in the chat of a Bloons game on Kongregate, JustLeafy discussed with another person about the dart monkey, and he once accidentally said "Art Monkey". However, that gave him an idea.
Appearance[]
It appears to be a brown monkey, but it has a black mustache and it is wearing a beret. It also has a medium-sized paintbrush and it has rainbow colors on its bristles.
Upgrades[]
Note: Upgrades on "Easy" is -10% the medium cost, +10% on "Hard" and +20% on "Impoppable".
