Questions from the comments:
what kind of job do patch and benjamin have?
Patch keeps everything running smoothly and Ben just says “IT” if asked.
Adora and Benjamin still don't have pets. Are you gonna fix that?
We would love for them to all have pets but we want to make sure it's the right ones!
Why don't the bloons just send out a B.A.D on round 1 they would surely win if they did that?
They have to take time to gear up, just like the Monkeys!
WIZARD PARAGON?!? How are you going to merge Gandalf, Chicken Boi, and Lych: The Monkey?
You’ll have to wait and see!
Also, can the answer to this question be no?
Yes it can! ;)
Will players ever be able to make custom boss events?
This isn’t something we will be adding at this stage!
What is the most unholy combination of foods that a hero likes (saying which hero likes that combination is optional)
Pat is one of those Monkeys that just shoves whatever's in the fridge into a sandwich. There have been some truly horrifying mixes…
Wait a minute... if each phase of the Boss Bloon is not the same, but at the same time between them they are territorial... is there one or several Elites coexisting at the same time?
We suspect they have epic Elite Boss battles between themselves when they aren’t fighting against the Monkeys.
Sniper Monkeys are famous for having literally PERFECT accuracy. They simply do not miss. And they're not expensive to hire, so why aren't all monkeys trained like snipers? Why isn't Quincy trained like a sniper? He could make it so literally nothing gets past his bow.
Training can only get you so far, not everyone is capable of what they are.
Hey, did you guys know that Frozen Over is literally the one and only beginner's map that a boss Bloon literally NEVER has been on?!
It's been frozen over… just too slippery for the boss.
If Super Monkey were to have a comic book, what/who would be the main villain? (Bloons would have to be the minions, of course.)
The evil Dr. Bloon, The Great Inflator, Squisher of Bananas!
Will the glue rat be the tyrant to wipe out the bloons and then rule with an iron fist of fear?
That’s certainly what glue rat would have us believe…
Have Ben and Gwen ever teamed up to create better pyrotechnics?
No. That would be irresponsible.
Were there any scrapped ideas for Geraldo’s shop you are willing to share?
Not really, Geraldo’s items stayed the same from the beginning, though their implementations did change a bit before release.
Why does Gerlado cross the road?
We are not sure, why does Geraldo cross the road?
Will the monkeys bat an eye if I say I'm allergic to bananas?
They are very respectful of dietary restrictions!
Will the ace paragon be the biggest plane?
It’ll certainly be an EVEN BIGGER PLANE.
what do some heroes think of their tf2 like counterparts (gwen=pyro,etc)
They’re too busy poppin’ Bloons to play any TF2 these days.
Are there any monkeys that are criminals/have joined the bloons? (excluding Bloonchipper)
We’ve had the odd suspicion here and there - mainly around Halloween time.
Would the engineer paragons create other robot engineers that create a bunch of contraptions?
Engi-ception? There’s a real theme coming through this blogpost!
Tell us something random that is not about bloons and next blog I will comment ok that’s nice with a question.
White-faced Capuchin Monkeys say hello by sticking their finger up each other’s noses. Yep, it’s true.
What do the monkeys think of our control over them? Are we like god to them, the overseeing hand that guides them?
More like a guiding force to help protect their lands.
Are any heroes bilingual, or maybe even trilingual?
A few of them! Psi, Adora, Sauda, Churchill and technically Ben if you count binary.
If there is a monkey inside of everything, then doesn't this mean that the Bloons have monkeys inside of them?
Woah! That would be like bloon-ception!
if you introduce a new tower, will it release with a paragon, or will it come later down the road?
It is unlikely we would launch a new tower with the paragon as we’d need to make sure the tower's balance was good before adding paragon into the mix!
Since the True Sun God is specified to be a "Sun God" (like the Sun God Helios from Greek mythology) and not just the Monkey God, are there other deities in the blooniverse like there are in Greek mythology?
Pat believes fervently in the Hug God, and that he is the first apostle of said Hug God.
There is still some secrets at BTD 6 we don't find yet? Like the Cave Monkey and Encrypted? Or all secrets of BTD 6 already was found?
It wouldn’t be a secret if we told!
Are there monkeys that deny the existence of Camo Bloons?
They all trust in the evidence provided!
When bloons walk past your defense they cause you to lose lives, but where does the bloons go after that?
Onwards to cause more destruction!
Have a great weekend and happy gaming!

Who is the one who has those, like, 6,000 duodecillion MOAB mines, totems, piles of glue, camo detecting machinery, crates of cash, floaties, pools and random things that make you stronger? One of Geraldo's relatives?
Do monkeys have history like humans / or monkey versions of humans
