'''MOAB-Class Bloons''', or simply '''MOABs''', are a class of large [[wp:Airship|dirigible]]-like [[Bloon]]s. The classification is named after the [[MOAB]], the first MOAB-Class Bloon introduced to the series in ''[[Bloons Tower Defense 3]]'', although the classification itself did not exist until ''[[Bloons TD 5]]''. MOAB-Class Bloons are typically much larger than regular Bloons and have very high [[RBE]]. In most games, [[Boss Bloon]]s are also treated as MOAB-Class Bloons and have similar characteristics, though some Boss Bloons are not dirigibles.

Since ''Bloons TD 5'', MOAB-Class Bloons have appeared in every game in the {{series|Bloons TD}}, as well as ''[[Bloons Supermonkey 2]]''. A similar classification, [[Bloon (BCS)|Large Bloons]], exists in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''.<!-- moab class doesn't really exist in bloons pop, see the nomenclature section -->

In ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', "MOAB-Class Bloons" is the most common form, as seen the descriptions of [[Quincy (BTD6)|Quincy]], [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]], and [[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]]'s upgrades, as well as [[MOAB Mauler (BTD6)|MOAB Mauler]], [[MOAB Press (BTD6)|MOAB Press]], and [[Icicle Impale (BTD6)|Icicle Impale]], though other forms of capitalization are also used. The tutorial message when encountering a MOAB-Class Bloon for the first time in ''BTD6'' refers to them as "M.O.A.B. Class Bloons", though this formatting is not used anywhere else. Although not referred to as such in-game, official patch notes sometimes refers to MOAB-Class Bloons as "blimps",<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/159tbij/bloons_td_6_update_notes_version_380/|title=Bloons TD 6 - Update Notes!

MOAB-Class Bloons are sometimes referred to as just "MOABs". To avoid ambiguity, regular MOABs are sometimes referred to as "Blue MOABs".<ref name="blue moab">{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/1akoc55/update_bloons_td_6_v410_update_notes/|title=Update: Bloons TD 6 v41.0 - Update Notes!|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=19 jan 2025|quote=4xx Sentry Expert should react with less Energy sentries in response to Blue MOABs, and prioritize a more for ceramic cleanup}}</ref>

Although ''[[Bloons Pop!]]'' has the [[MOAB (Bloons Pop!)|MOAB]], [[The Behemoth (Bloons Pop!)|BFB]], and [[ZOMG (Bloons Pop!)|ZOMG]], they are not referred to or treated as part of a shared class. The BFB and ZOMG are unaffected by the MOAB Specialist bonus in [[Party Crashers]], and attacks that deal extra damage to [[Boss Bloon]]s only apply to the BFB and ZOMG.

In ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', the term "Large Bloon" is used in favor of MOAB-Class Bloon when referring to such Bloons. This is to account for the possibility of Bloons in this class that do not use a dirigible-like body, such as the [[Weakening Gas Bloon]].
In ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', the [[Bloon (BCS)|Large Bloon]] classification includes Bloons that are classified as MOAB-Class Bloons in other games, as well as some non-dirigble Bloons, such as [[Weakening Gas Bloon]]s. [[MOAB Mauler (BCS)|MOAB Mauler]] and [[MOAB Dominator]] affect all Large Bloons in this game, despite their names implying they only affect MOAB-Class Bloons. The classification does not include Boss Bloons.
