Camel Zombies

Camel Zombies appear in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time and Plants vs. Zombies Online. They come in groups of three to ten humps and carry signs with different camel parts on them. They are the second zombies encountered if not counting all the different time periods of regular Zombies. Camel Zombies never come alone and its minimum number is three and the maximum number of Camel Zombies that can arrive in one row of the player's lawn is ten. They have a Brain Buster dedicated to them.

Arrives in step with other Camel Zombies.

Special: arrives in a group of three zombies or more

Each Camel Zombie is an excellent ballroom dancer, practicing every day by holding up mysterious signs with strange symbols. They call it "The Camel Dance."

Overview
Each zombie takes 21 normal damage shots, and its appearance changes upon an absorption of 1, 9, 13 (when the sign is destroyed) and loses its arm at 17 normal damage shots before dying at 21 normal damage shots.

Appearances
Player's House: Piñata Party

Ancient Egypt: Days 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23, and Pyramid of Doom.

Strategies
The best plant to use to fend off is the Bloomerang, as it can break through all images on the camel signs, especially when near, Plant Food can be very useful on it. Avoid underestimating it, as they can be tougher without the Bloomerang. The Camel Zombie with an additional hump image is a little hard. Potato Mines cannot take out the whole image in one hit; the best way to deal more damage is that you use Plant Food on your Cabbage-pults so they can throw cabbages at all zombies on screen and to damage the Camel Zombies. Using Plant Food on Peashooting plants also can devastate the Camel Zombies. You can also use Bonk Choy to kill one zombie at a time. If you use plant food on a Iceberg Lettuce, it will freeze each part of the zombie, allowing extra time. You should be careful on later levels as they can reach up to six. A Laser Bean can destroy all parts of the zombie all by itself.

Trivia

 * If a Butter hits the leading Camel Zombie, they will all stop despite holding a ceramic sign to protect themselves. But if the Butter hits the leading Camel Zombie and the ceramic sign breaks, only the leading zombie will not move until the duration of the Butter ends.
 * It is the only zombie that has something to do with animals in Ancient Egypt(and it is not an actual animal so it can be said that there is no animal appearing in Ancient Egypt).
 * Sometimes they even come with more than four humps which is virtually impossible.
 * When attacking plants, Camel Zombies raise their ceramic sign up and then smash it down on the plant.
 * If a Camel Zombie that still has an intact sign stops to eat a plant or is hit by Butter, the other Camel Zombies behind it will also stop moving.
 * If the sign for the leading Camel Zombie is broken, the second one will pass through the first one.
 * If frozen through an Iceberg Lettuce, all of the Camel Zombies in that "camel" will freeze. This will not work if the ceramic sign of the leading one in front breaks, as the game now treats it as a different zombie.
 * If hit by a Winter Melon or Snow Pea, all of the camel zombies will slow down, provided that the sign on the first one does not break.
 * When the sign is destroyed, the Mummy Zombie will stop for a while and then walk.
 * It also happens to Pharaoh Zombie when its sarcophagus is destroyed but the only difference is the Pharaoh Zombie gets a speed boost.
 * The Camel Zombies are similar to the Zombie Bobsled Team, as they both come in groups.
 * They are also similar to the Screen Door Zombie and Trash Can Zombie, as both have a shield and degrade into a normal zombie when its protection destroyed.
 * The Camel Zombies are one of the six zombies that got a costume for the 5 Days of Feastivus along with the Swashbuckler Zombie, the Pianist Zombie, the Poncho Zombie, Gargantuar and Imp.
 * Their costume resembles a reindeer. if you look closely, there's a little snowman.
 * The Camel Zombies and the Knight Zombie are the only new zombies introduced in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time that can degrade to a normal Zombie.
 * The whole camel can be killed easily by just placing a Spikerock just in front of it (best on the right-most columns-kills it after a while it enters the lawn).
 * This, Conehead Zombie variants, Buckethead Zombie variants and Knight Zombies have the same glitch that when eats a Chili Bean, its shield (head-type) will change appearance as it's broken.
 * For the Camel Zombie, it might be because the shield dropped onto the ground and broke.
 * This, Pianist Zombie and Wizard Zombie are the slowest zombies in the game so far.
 * They can maxmize their health into 210 normal damage shots.
