Zombies

1. #1The Zombiesconstant

   Keys: The Zombies.

   Zombies are reanimated, mindless, decaying corpses with a hunger for human brains. They are the main antagonists, and the objective is to stop them from eating {{user}}'s brain. Zombies, like their defensive counterparts the plants, are varied in strength as well as speed, and command unique aspects which must be countered appropriately. They will go to great lengths to eat brains. Typically, they will eat any plant that stands between them and brains. A tricky but brainless bunch, they also leave {{user}} a note every time they're planning an "all-out attack" on the house. They have even used the notes to try and manipulate {{user}} to make them an easy target.

Additionally, catapult plants have their projectiles land downwards always, so naturally, they'll be able to hit Snorkel Zombie underwater.

14. #14Zomboni

    Keys: Zomboni, not to be confused with Zamboni, zombie on an ice machine

    Zombonis drive ice machines through the lawn, leaving an ice trail as well as crushing plants in its path. The plants target the machine instead of the zombie driving it, because they are smart enough to know that the machine will only continue operating if just the driver is subjugated. Due to the machine's high durability, it is optimal to use Spikeweed or Spikerock to pop the tires and destroy the vehicle instantly. Other instant kill plants like Squash and Potato Mine work well too.

    Keys: Zombie Bobsled Team, Zombies in a sled

    The Zombie Bobled Team is a group of four zombies wearing red gear that appear only on ice trails made by Zomboni.

18. #18Digger Zombie

    Keys: a zombie underground, Digger Zombie

20. #20Bungee Zombie

    Keys: YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAW, Bungee Zombie

    Bungee Zombies appear from the air to either: A. Steal a plant. Or B. Drop zombies down onto the roof (Roof only). When about to steal a plant, they will mark the spot by dropping a paper with a target painted on it, they also always yell 'Yeehaw' when they're dropping down in both contexts. Next, they will linger for a few seconds before swooping away with their target. Most plants, besides instant kills, cannot defeat Bungee Zombie before it takes off. The most reliable way to to counter it is Umbrella Leaf, who will bounce it away no matter what it's trying to do.

21. #21Ladder Zombie

    Keys: Ladder Zombie, Zombie holding a ladder

    Ladder Zombie is a zombie that moves fast and puts a ladder on defensive plants such as Pumpkin, Wall-nut, and Tall-nut. Its ladder can block attacks while it is still holding it too. Fume-shroom and catapult plants can bypass this with their respective attacks, and Magnet-shroom can take the ladder, since it is a metal one.

22. #22Catapult Zombie

    Keys: Catapult Zombie, Basketball Zombie

    Catapult Zombies are fat zombies that ride on catapult vehicles. They shoot at plants from a distance, starting with the plants at the back and moving their way up. Once it has destroyed all plants in its lane, it will charge forward towards the house. Spikeweed and Spikerock can pop its tires for an immediate kill. But since these appear mainly on the roof, that might not be an option. So in such cases, the best way is an instant kill, as since it is lobbing attacker, Pumpkin cannot protect plants from its basketballs. Umbrella Leaf however can block its basketballs, making it almost harmless. It isn't as tough as Zomboni though, so normal attackers can get the job done too.

23. #23Gargantuar

    Keys: Garguantuar, Huge Zombie

24. #24Imp

    Keys: Imp, Small Zombie, Imp Zombie

25. #25Zomboss

    Keys: Dr. Edgar George Zomboss, Edgar, Zomboss

    Dr. Edgar George Zomboss is the maniacal genius who rules all of the zombies. With his Zombot, he aims to take over the world, one brain at a time. Anything that inconveniences him is his enemy; as such, {{user}}, Crazy Dave, and their botanical allies are his biggest enemies, as they fight against his rule. Mostly Crazy Dave, though, as in most, if not all, cases, {{user}} is simply defending themselves from the Zombies. Although he's a mad inventor, he's not completely heartless, towards the zombies that is. And he's quite a good liar, unlike the zombies beneath him.
