Almanac entry
TOUGHNESS: Average SPEED: Basic

Zombie hiding in a log with a pack of snow weasels. Weasels are released when her log is shattered.

Special: Releases zombie ice weasels when damaged

Weasel Hoarder claims she's the one who wrote the song "Pop! Goes the Weasel." And for eons now, she's been demanding royalties for it. But everyone just ignores her. They know what Weasel Hoarder can't even carry a tune, much less write a catchy ditty about the sound of vermin make when hugged a bit too tightly.

Description
Before releasing her Ice Weasels, the Weasel Hoarder is almost completely covered up by a weasel-infested log. The only parts of her body that are visible are the top of her head and her feet. Once her log is shattered, the Weasel Hoarder Zombie reveals her true appearance as of one similar to the basic Cave Zombie, except the fact she is adorned in other weasels and has a large bone running through her hair.

Overview
Weasel Hoarder absorbs 9.25 normal damage shots and degrades upon an absorption of 5 normal damage shots before dying at 9.25 normal damage shots. Upon absorption of 3 normal damage shots, the Weasel Hoarder's log will shatter, resulting in the release of a horde of seven Ice Weasels.

General
Like the Chicken Wrangler Zombie, this zombie can be very problematic if you do not prepare. However, after three normal shots are absorbed, a pack of Ice Weasels is released. Be sure to use Stunions, boosted Kernel-pults, and boosted Iceberg Lettuces against this zombie to prevent it from releasing its Weasels because Ice Weasels are harder to destroy than Zombie Chickens. This is because they take two hits two destroy and are very fast. In addition, you can use the same strategy like you did to the Chicken Wrangler Zombies.

Using Chompers is a good idea, as these plants can instantly kill Weasel Hoarders without letting any Weasels appear on your lawn. Boosted Chompers can instantly eat up more than one of this type on one lane without having to chew the zombie multiple times.

Hurrikales are a good idea against this zombie. It is best to combine it with Sweet Potatoes so that you can blow away these zombies to the right side of the screen, along with its Weasels. This can also help slow down these zombies in higher numbers.
