The Zeppelin Of Mighty Gargantuaness (Z.O.M.G.) is a MOAB Class Bloon that first appears in Bloons Tower Defense 5. It is a very 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. It has an extremely high RBE of 16,656. Without a proper defense, its children can rush through the level and end the game. On Round 85, there is only one ZOMG. In later rounds there are multiple ZOMGs, increasing even 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 very resistant to Monkey Ace's Ground Zero ability and it only takes 1025 damage from the Bomb Tower's upgrade MOAB Assassin and from Bloon Annihilation Ability rather than death. 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 the ZOMG through a level is 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. You will need at least 16,657 lives, and if it leaks, you will have 1 life left.

Strategies

Main Article: Z.O.M.G./Strategies

Here is one:

Strategy 11 (High cost in Ingame Monkey and Monkey Money)Edit

Spam Bloonsday Devices, or, if unlocked, Pro Bloonsday Devices. Get the Dartling Ammo Dump (TIII) and some Rays of Doom. Set the R.O.D.'s Target to Fixed, use the Orbital Strike ability, and keep the mouse on the Z.O.M.G. Repeat the button until it is gone. Use the R.O.D.s to clean up the mess.

Children

The Z.O.M.G spawn 4 BFB's, which contain 16 MOABS, which contains 64 Ceramic Bloons, which contains 128 Rainbow Bloons. After that, it turns to 256 Zebra Bloons, then 256 White Bloons and 256 Black Bloons, which contain 1,024 Pinks, then 1,024 yellows. Then, there is 1,024 greens, and 1,024 blues, and finally, 1,024 reds.

Trivia

• 

  Missile from MOAB Assassin

  Z.O.M.G.s are the slowest among all Bloons but can outrun a Lead Bloon affected by Permafrost, glue and Sabotage Supply Lines in effect.
• It takes 364 Road Spikes to destroy the first layer. This equals 4,004 spike damage. It takes 400 MOAB Mauler missiles to destroy.
• The RBE ingame suggests that the Z.O.M.G. layer has 4000 health but in reality it takes 5 MOAB Assassins (1000 damage each) to pop the first layer.

The Z.O.M.G.'s brief appearance on the BTD 5 official trailer.

• For humor, the Z.O.M.G.'s last health stage depicts a bandage on the skull
• This bloon is the biggest bloon in all of Bloons TD 5.
• A lone Temple of the Monkey God with sufficient sacrifices can take out at least 200 Z.O.M.G.s without any other towers including monkey towns.
• This Z.O.M.G. first appears at Round 85.
• It takes 1515 sets of road spikes to completely destroy it.
• In the official trailer of BTD5, the Z.O.M.G. appeared for only 2.5 seconds.
• Can be killed for less than $17000 with no premiums (need water on the map). - see strategy #8
• Can be stopped with as little as 8 MOAB Cripplers (4-1).
• Can only be slowed/stopped by Sabotage Supply Lines, Cripple MOAB and Pop and Awe Ability.
• A 100% foolproof way to destroy it is use 5 MOAB assasins, then use 4 monkey pirates ability.
• If you use the Sabotage Sabotage Supply Lines Ability before a Z.O.M.G. comes out, it only slows the Z.O.M.G., the first B.F.B. of the 4 that come out, and the first M.O.A.B. of the 4 that come out of the slowed B.F.B. If the Ability is used while a Z.O.M.G. is out, the first of the 4 B.F.B.s is the only one not slowed, and the same with the M.O.A.B.s from the slowed B.F.B.s.

The Z.O.M.G is stuck in the bloonchipper. Not it's best day.
