Red Bloon

"Just for fun, there are some of each color bloon in the next level. Enjoy popping those easy reds for a change."

- Round 38 in Bloons TD 1

The Red Bloon is the lowest branch on the bloon hierarchy. They appear in all BTD games including Bloons Super Monkey. Red Bloons are recognized as the most common Bloon and the easist to pop taking only a single hit from any damaging weapon to do so. The Red Bloon is the child of the Blue Bloon and is not a parent of any bloon. It is the 3rd slowest Bloon in the game, with the 2nd slowest being the BFB and the slowest being the new ZOMG bloon that is in Bloons TD 5. Lead Bloons and M.O.A.Bs are equal to it in speed. Popping a Red Bloon rewards 1 Money and 1 XP (in BTD4 and BTD5). The Red Bloon is the Bloon in every first level because it wants you to get started for beginners except in Hard mode on a player-made track, where Blue Bloons appear, or in certain Daily Challenges or Special Missions in Bloons Tower Defense 5. This bloon will eventually appear in all of the BTD series because it is the most original and if there are levels with a red (look down to continue) In the first game (bloons td) the Red bloon is on the screen. The length of a track is determined by how long a red bloon takes to get to the end of the track on medium. This is also known as Red Bloon Seconds (RBS).

Bloons Tower Defense 1
The Red Bloon is one of the 6 bloon types that has been part of the Bloons TD series since the first game, Bloons TD 1, giving it the distinction of being in every Bloons TD game to date. It is recognized as the most common bloon, as well as the easiest to pop. the most weak of BTD

Bloons Tower Defense 3
The Red Bloon appears in Bloons Tower Defense 3, unchanged from BTD2.

Bloons Tower Defense 4
The Red Bloon appears in BTD4, unchanged from the previous game. In Bloons Tower Defense 4, a measurement of the difficulty/length of a level was introduced that involved red bloons. The RBE (Red Bloon Equivalent) is the number of "pops", relative to the Red Bloon taking 1 pop, that must take place for all bloons in the round to be completely popped.

Bloons Tower Defense 5
The Red Bloon appears in Bloons Tower Defense 5, with the base red bloon being unchanged from the previous game. The main changes/additions that have to do with red bloons is the new red Camo Bloons and red Regrowth Bloons, although the speed of all Bloons increase with the difficulty. However, red regrowth bloons are nothing different than a normal Red Bloon.

In a regular game, camo reds and regen reds will not spawn. However, in Sandbox, some Missions, and some challenges, these may spawn.
