'''Bloons''' are balloon-like entities that appear in the [[Bloons (franchise)|''Bloons'' franchise]]. They come in many colors, shapes, and sizes, ranging from small [[wp:toy balloon|toy balloon]]s to enormous [[MOAB-Class Bloon|dirigible-like Bloons]]. They are often depicted as antagonistic towards [[monkey]]s, particularly in the {{series|Bloons TD}} and {{series|Bloons Supermonkey}} where they are treated as enemies that the player must destroy. However, some games, such as ''[[Hot Air Bloon]]'' and ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', depict them as more of a neutral party that can cooperate with monkeys. | '''Bloons''' are balloon-like entities that appear in the [[Bloons (franchise)|''Bloons'' franchise]].
