Pinata Hunt Slots
Purpose unknown, for now uses bacon text and textures as placeholders. For now Slots 1 and 2 exist.

Rally Zombie
Upgraded version of Basic Flag Zombie. Internal name: tutorial_flag_veteran Eating speed: 3x faster than a Basic Flag Zombie (eats a Peashooter in a second) Toughness: Protected (16.75 NDS) Speed: Speedy (Fast as Bug Zombie or Balloon Zombie)

Almanac entry
 Rally Zombie 

Rally Zombie and his flag marks the arrival of a large clot or "pile" of zombies.

Toughness: Protected

Speed: Speedy

Rally Zombie splurged on the all-leather flag because, heck, he's worth it.

Brickhead Zombie
Internal name: tutorial_armor4 Toughness: Machined (120 NDS, 110 NDS for headwear, 10 NDS for the zombie) Speed: Basic (Fast as an average zombie)

Almanac entry
 Brickhead Zombie 

Brickhead Zombie's brick head provides thorough brickheaded brickheadness.

Toughness: Machined

Speed: Basic

After consultation with various storybook wolves, it was determined that straw helmets and wood helmets were not up to snuff, and that brick helmets had to be seriously considered.

Egypt Rally Zombie
Upgraded version of Flag Mummy Zombie. Internal name: egypt_flag_veteran Toughness: Protected (16.75 NDS) Eating speed: 2.7x faster than a normal Flag Mummy Zombie (eats a Peashooter in merely a second) Speed: Speedy (Fast as Bug Zombie or Balloon Zombie)

Almanac entry
 Egypt Rally Zombie 

He celebrates with increased vigor and truculence the arrival of a new wave of bandaged baddies.

Toughness: Protected

Speed: Speedy

Sometimes, a regular Flag Mummy Zombie simply isn't enough to inspire the desired amount of terror and disgust. In these instances, upgrading to the Egypt Rally Zombie isn't the sensible choice, it's the only choice.

Pyramid-Head Zombie
Internal name: mummy_armor4 Toughness: Machined (120 NDS, 110 NDS for headwear, 10 NDS for the zombie) Speed: Basic (Fast as an average zombie)

Almanac entry
 Pyramid-Head Zombie 

His pyramid-shaped headgear provides triangular noggin protection.

Toughness: Machined

Speed: Basic

Pyramid-Head Zombie isn't aware that his pyramid is pyramid-shaped. He's a little slow in that respect.

Torchlight Zombie
Internal name: explorer_veteran Toughness: Protected (22 NDS) Eating speed: 1.5x faster than a normal Explorer (for eating Infi-Nut's PF shield) Speed: Flighty (Fast as a flying Pterodactyl)

Almanac entry
 Torchlight Zombie 

Carries a torch that instantly destroys plants and scorches the earth.

Toughness: Protected

Speed: Flighty

Torchlight Zombie has no fear of the dark. That's not because he's always got a torch, however, but rather because as a zombie he has no capacity for fear in the first place. NOTE: No references to "scorching the earth" are found in the coding.

Sunday Edition Zombie
Internal name: newspaper_veteran Toughness: Machined (113.5 NDS, 90 for the newspaper, 23.5 for the zombie) Eating speed: 1.5x faster than a normal Newspaper (eats a Peashooter in a second) Speed: Hungry (Fast as a normal Newspaper) Enraged speed: 4x faster (Fast as a normal Newspaper) Enraged eating speed: 5x faster (0.8x faster than a normal Newspaper)

Almanac entry
 Sunday Edition Zombie 

The newspaper protects zombie, who becomes enraged when it is destroyed.

Toughness: Machined

Speed: Hungry

Sunday Edition Zombie REALLY loves the comics section, which is why his rage is so all-consuming when it is torn to tatters before he's finished reading it.

Hot Date
Internal name: hotdate Sun cost: 150 Toughness: Elevated (80 bites, 40 seconds to eat one Hot Date) Recharge: Sluggish (20 seconds) Plant group: Ground plants (cannot be planted on planks) INFO:
 * Attracts zombies
 * Can be tapped manually to explode and deal 90 NDS to all zombies in a row (like Jalapeno)
 * Can defrost surrounding plants

Almanac entry
 Hot Date 

Hot Dates attract zombies from lanes above and below them, and then unleash a lane of flame when they're eaten.

Special: Warms nearby plants

Toughness: Elevated

Recharge: Sluggish

Hot Date's a charmer. He's polite, well-read, has lots of interesting opinions, and practices active listening. Zombies line up around the block to be incinerated by him.

Caulipower
Internal name: caulipower Sun cost: 150 Toughness: 6 bites Recharge: Sluggish (45 seconds) Plant group: Ground plants (cannot be planted on planks) Basic zombie/Unique zombie/Gargantuar targeting ratio: 55/40/5 Cooldown between shots: 12 seconds INFO:
 * Hypnotises zombies on every shot
 * Can be planted on water
 * Appears to be Electric Blueberry but instead of destroying zombies, it hypnotises them.
 * Plant Food effect appears to push back zombies

Almanac entry
 Caulipower 

Caulipowers use their mental powers to hypnotize random zombies and turn them against their former friends.

Special: Hovers above ground or water

Area: Full Board

Recharge: Sluggish

Caulipower's eyes spin with distress. He's just thought of a really great ending for his novel, but he's afraid his cousin won't understand it.
