Binja Bunkey Skin

🅱inja 🅱unkey
Default info
Cost (medium)	Same as Ninja Monkey
Appearances	BTD7: Planet of the Apes
Range	Same as Ninja Monkey
Type	Skin
Popping Power/Pierce	Same as Ninja Monkey
Detects camo?	Yes
Special	Every time the Binja Bunkey hits an enemy, the game plays a sound of a voiceover saying the letter "B"

The 🅱inja 🅱unkey is a Typo version and Tower Skin for the Ninja Monkey in 🅱TD7: Planet of the Apes. Unlike Hero skins, Tower Skins only give an aesthetic change to their respective towers. In this case, the 🅱inja 🅱unkey is like a Ninja Monkey 🅱ut with 🅱s, and fires 🅱-shaped shurikens known as 🅱hurikens. Every time a 🅱loon gets hit 🅱y a 🅱inja 🅱unkey, the game plays out a voiceover saying the letter "🅱" for comedic effect. The skin costs $200 🅱unkey 🅱uney to 🅱urchase.

Trivia

• The Tier 6 upgrade for the first path is a play on the words "monkey" and "Hachiman," Hachiman being the Japanese god of war.
• The Kamikaze Bombers have an infinite range of detection. This means that even if the Ninja Monkey is far away from the Bloons, the Bombers will still target and home in on them like guided missiles.
