'''Roaming Bloons''' (also referred to as '''Wandering Bloons''' or '''Wild Bloons''') are a game mechanic in the ''[[Frontier Legends]]'' DLC of ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. These cowboy hat-wearing [[Bloon]]s appear on most areas in the Frontier and either chase [[Sheriff (BTD6)|Sheriff]] or flee from them. If Sheriff touches a Roaming Bloon, the player has the option to challenge the Bloon to a minigame called '''Quick Draw''', which rewards [[Bananite]] and can drop other items if the player wins. However, if the player loses the minigame or flees from a chasing Bloon after touching it, Sheriff loses Lives and their whole posse loses some [[Stamina]].

The spawn points of Roaming Bloons are predetermined. If the player fights or flees from a Roaming Bloon, it respawns after a certain amount of time depending on the type. In aboveground locations, they are more numerous at nighttime.

===Quick Draw mini game===

In a Quick Draw, the player plays a timing minigame where a reticle moves from left to right across a line, and the player must press the button to shoot when the reticle lines up with targets that appear and move at random points on one or more of three rails (front, middle, back). The movement speed of the reticle and the number of targets the player needs to hit to win depend on the Bloon type, and the player can also get a Crit by hitting the bullseye for additional damage or hit multiple targets at the same time if they are aligned. Sheriff has unlimited ammo but will needs to recharge after six shots. Targets keep appearing one after the other until Sheriff either wins by depleting all the Bloon's health or is defeated by running out of time. Winning this mini game earns Bananite and consumable items such as Health Potions, Banana Cookies and Old Keys, in the other hand, losing the mini game comes with a Lives and Stamina penalty.

*Before {{BTD6 version|54.0}}, the daytime ZOMG's ID was <code>BAD</code>, suggesting it was originally going to be the BAD before being split into a separate Bloon; the actual BAD's internal ID is <code>BADREAL</code>.

*Also, before that same version Bloons could have different stats depending on the time of the day. Day and night versions of Roaming Bloons were separated Bloon types internally.  Fortified Red Bloons, Zombie Bloons, and ZOMGs did also have separate night versions but were identical to the day versions.
