Boss Bloons are a category of MOAB-Class Bloons with several additional properties. While each boss has mechanics unique to it, all bosses share the following features.

* Immune to insta-killing attacks such as the [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BTD6)|Bloon Master Alchemist's shrink potions]]~~, [[Legend of the Night (BTD6)|Legend of the Night's black hole]],~~ and the [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|Pirate Lord's ability]]

* Immune to insta-killing attacks such as the [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BTD6)|Bloon Master Alchemist's shrink potions]] and the [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|Pirate Lord's ability]].

* Immune to all slowing, stunning, and knockback effects such as from [[MOAB Glue (BTD6)|MOAB Glue]], [[Maim MOAB (BTD6)|Maim MOAB]], and [[MOAB Domination (BTD6)|MOAB Domination]]

* Immune to all slowing, stunning, and knockback effects such as from [[MOAB Glue (BTD6)|MOAB Glue]], [[Maim MOAB (BTD6)|Maim MOAB]], and [[MOAB Domination (BTD6)|MOAB Domination]].

** Currently the only exceptions are the Eclipse of Fimbulwinter ability from [[Herald of Everfrost]], which can reduce their speed 5% while active (25s) and will also freeze them, halving their speed for 5s, and [[Time Stop]], which reduces their speed to 30%.

* Immune to percentage based damage such as [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili's MOAB Hex ability]]

* Causes a defeat if leaked, no matter how many [[Life|lives]] are acquired.

* Causes a defeat if leaked, even while [[Legend of the Night (BTD6)|Legend of the Night's black hole]] is active, no matter how many [[Life|lives]] are acquired.

* Vulnerable to additional damage from attacks with bonus [[Boss damage]], notably [[Paragon|Paragons]].

* Affected by Boss Health and Boss Speed modifiers

Each level has two Boss Bloon fights (except the first level, which only has one). The boss traps the player in a small arena and the player must destroy it to progress. They have multiple health bars (represented by the number of skulls) and attack patterns that involve moving around and summoning Bloons. The second boss of a level is always different from the first, and is a harder version with more health bars and stronger Bloon spawns.
