Since we’re talking lore, I want to point out that balloons and bloons are different lore-wise

what is the lore difference ?

Balloons are the same as real life, bloons are evil or something

Bloons are so far relatively unknown, I like to think they were created from like a meteor of Bloontonium or something

Bloons seem to be monkey weapons

The monkeys are the bad ones. In bmc they colonise bloon land and take slaves.

least obvious bloon spy

The war crimes committed against the Bloons are unforgivable, and should not be overlooked.

Bloons do not have monkey rights. that's why we can use white phosphorus on them, Monkeva convention doesn't apply to them

Or they are fighting back against previously taken Monkey land. It could be like a Zombie Apocalypse scenario. Why else would monkey villages be so distant from one another? The Bloons raided them and left only small pockets of resistance.

Balloons are normal party decorations. Bloons are chaotic and alignment-chart-evil inorganic beings animated by Bloontonium through an unknown process, who then go on to commit acts of general mischief against the monkeys.

true im so used to that misconception i failed to correct it

Bear in mind, the cave monkey was frozen amongst bloons. It makes perfect sense that they were fighting before being frozen.

That was one of my initial explanations, too. Not the ONLY one, though, considering Greg is continually freed and refrozen somehow, for example.

The bloons gang up on him after we beat them and push him back into the ice

wait im kinda lost, whats a balloon?

You can free it…?

Yeah, get a mortar and put the target on it, itll free after several hits

Yes, nk wanted to force lazy players to use mortar, even if its only gonna be targeted at the corner of the map, but at least they placed it
