Druid

“	Creates a blast of thorns for each attack. Upgrades can call forth powers of the Jungle, Storm, or Wrath.	”
	^{~ Bloons Tower Defense 6 description}

Description

The Druid is a Magic Class tower in the Bloons TD series. It first appears in Bloons TD 6. It can be chosen and unlocked in-game between ranks 14-18. The Druid is a white-tan monkey that throws several small wooden thorns, which can destroy multiple bloons and/or layers, depending on its distance, similar to a shotgun. This tower's thorns, however, are ineffective against most special bloons attributes and requires upgrades to get much farther than that. Unfortunately, a majority of its early upgrades cannot detect camo attributes on its own and must be assisted by towers such as the Monkey Village and its camo detection upgrades. The first path for the Druid is similar to the first path of the Monkey Apprentice in BTD5. It is more powerful in groups with both its wrath and jungle forms being much more effective with other monkeys or Druids. The Druid is classed as a Magic Category Tower.
