The  M assive O rnery A ir B limp (M.O.A.B.) is currently the third highest ranked bloon after its parent, the B.F.B. and its grandparent, the new Z.O.M.G. It is also the lowest ranked MOAB-class bloon. It debuted in Bloons Tower Defense 3 (Round 37) along with the Ceramic Bloon. The M.O.A.B's other appearances include Bloons TD 4 (Round 46), Bloons TD 4 Expansion, Bloons TD 5 (Round 46), and Bloons Super Monkey. In Bloons TD 3, the M.O.A.B is white instead of blue and looks thinner with 4 Ceramic Bloons bulging out of its back. In Bloons TD 4, M.O.A.B.s can

be identified easily by their blimp like appearance, blue stripes, and the Ceramic Bloons they yield. In Bloons TD 5, the M.O.A.B is a blue blimp, has white stripes, and no Ceramic Bloons are shown. The M.O.A.B is sluggish, being the 3rd slowest Bloon in the game, surpassing only the B.F.B. and Z.O.M.G. in speed. If a M.O.A.B. escapes you will lose instantly since it deals 613 damage (616 in BTD5). Fully popping them is a rather large task.

{C The only way to survive letting an MOAB through a level is buying enough lives or the "Healthy Bananas" premium upgrade. You will need 613 lives (BTD4) and 616 lives (BTD5) at least to have 1 life left.

Combat
The M.O.A.B. takes 200 hits to pop, is resistant to the Super Monkey Storm (In BTD3 and BTD4 only), is immune to Monkey Glue, and freezing.

Bloons Super Monkey
The MOAB first appears in Stage 4. Several of them appear in Stage 5. They shoot out Red Bloons when attacked, and blow into a large cloud of various bloons (mainly red bloons) upon destruction.

Trivia

 * M.O.A.B.s are as slow as Red Bloons and Lead Bloons in Bloons TD 4. B.F.B.s are even slower.
 * A running joke is that M.O.A.B. stands for Mother Of All Bloons.
 * It takes 56 Road Spikes to pop a M.O.A.B.
 * Popping the first layer of a Z.O.M.G., B.F.B., M.O.A.B, or Ceramic Bloon does not reward any money. This does not include its children.
 * If the player has the Healthy Bananas, Triple Lives, or buys extra lives it is possible to survive a M.O.A.B escaping.
 * M.O.A.Bs in Bloons TD 4 are much easier to pop than in Bloons TD 3, due to the presence of M.O.A.B. Mauler.
 * The M.O.A.B. takes 20 M.O.A.B. Mauler missiles to pop.
