''"This is the Z.O.M.G. The Zeppelin Of Mighty Gargantuaness. Popping this is very, very difficult."

- Official description of the Z.O.M.G in Round 85. ''

The  Z eppelin O f M ighty G argantuaness (Z.O.M.G.) is a bloon type that first appears in Bloons Tower Defense 5. It is a black blimp with what looks like a cropped skull on top. The Z.O.M.G. is very hard to pop as it is the strongest bloon in Bloons TD history, appearing on Round 85 (the final round on Hard Difficulty) for the first time. The Z.O.M.G. contains four BFBs (each of which produce 4 MOABs), and has an extremely high RBE (16,656). Without a proper defense, its children can easily rush through the level and end the game. On Round 85, there is only one ZOMG. In later rounds there are multiple ZOMGs, increasing more and more in later rounds.

The ZOMG is different than the BFB and MOAB because it is immune to the Monkey Buccaneer's Monkey Pirates grappling ability and it only takes 1000 damage from the Bomb Tower's upgrade MOAB Assassin and from Bloon Annihilation Ability rather than instant destruction. The Z.O.M.G. was first seen at the end of the BTD5 trailer that was released on November 29, 2011.

The only way to survive letting a ZOMG through a level is with the use of the Banana Farm with the Healthy Bananas premium upgrade in Bloons TD 4 and Bloons TD 5. This upgrade gives the player 1 life per Banana Farm upgrade, per round. If enough lives can be saved up, a ZOMG (or any MOAB-Class Bloon) can be let through with lives to spare. This is much more difficult (nearly impossible) than with a MOAB or BFB, obviously, because the ZOMG has such a higher RBE, so a lot of work needs to be put in to attempt this. Generally, by the time you have sufficient lives to leak a ZOMG, there would be so many bloons on the screen that Healthy Bananas would be nearly useless.
