Ducky Bloon

"Almost as inconspicuous as inconspicuous scarecrows."

The Ducky Bloon, informally known as the Ducky Scout Bloon, is a ducky-shaped "bloon" that may or may not exist in BTDI. This bloon is totally invincible; however, it takes no lives away upon leaking and returns to the start upon doing so. Thus, its existence only serves to divert towers into attacking an ultimately useless and invincible target, as it immediately leaves the screen after all non-ducky bloons from the round are popped. The Ducky Bloon also absorbs all projectiles meant to hit it without harm; some examples include darts, boomerangs, spike piles, and even juggernaut spike balls.

There are four colors of Ducky Bloon: red, blue, green, and yellow. The color of the Ducky Bloon solely determines its speed; Red Ducky Bloons are the slowest of the Ducky Bloons whilst Yellow Ducky Bloons are the fastest.

Ducky Bloons can have the Camo property, although having this property only weakens them as they are thus only seen by towers with camo-detection. This bloon cannot have the Regen property, Fortified property, or Shielded property, as these three are effectively useless to it.

Strategy
The Ducky Bloon will almost inevitably destroy spike piles laid down by any Spike Factories on the field and especially devastate Spike Factory defenses that carry over through rounds (i.e. Perma-Spike). Thus, one should not rely on Spike Factories too much lest they let the stronger bloons travel through a spike pile-free track.

One interesting thing to take note of is that Ducky Bloons are regarded as the "strongest" bloon by priority targetting "Strong", and thus towers that are often set to this targetting (such as Super Monkey, Glue Gunner, and Sniper Monkey) can be easily distracted.

Note how Camo Ducky Bloons are technically inferior to their normal counterparts, as Camo Ducky Bloons can only distract towers with camo detection.

Trivia

 * Despite what it may seem, this is not a joke conception.
 * Lore-wise, this "bloon" is merely somewhat of a "scout" for the Lucky Ducky and exists only to "gather intel" from the Monkeys and the Bloons.
