'''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.

==Game mechanics==
===Layers===
{{main|Bloon layer}}
In the {{series|Bloons TD}}, {{series|Bloons Supermonkey}}, and ''[[Bloons Pop!]]'', Bloons have multiple layers that are removed as they take [[damage]]. The more layers a Bloon has, the more damage the Bloon requires to fully destroy. Each layer has different colors and properties.
Outside of the aforementioned games, a similar property is observed in the [[Nested Bloon]] in ''[[Bloons 2]]'', which has three "layers" that allow the Bloon to be popped up to three times, and the Nested Bloon [[card]]s in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', which spawn weaker Nested Bloons when destroyed.
===Health===
{{main|Bloon health}}
Many Bloon layers have multiple points of health, requiring multiple hits or high damage to destroy. In ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', all Bloons have a health stat and lose health when attacked by Monkeys equal to the attack's ATK stat.
===Speed===
{{main|Bloon speed}}
In the ''Bloons TD'' series, Bloons have different speed stats that affect how quickly they move on the track.
===Immunity===
{{main|Bloon immunity}}
In ''Bloons TD'', ''Bloons Supermonkey 2'', and ''Bloons Pop!'', Bloons have immunities to certain kinds of attacks.
