Zombies (PvZ)

For the type of Zombie, see Zombie.''

Zombies are reanimated dead and mindless creatures; decaying corpses with a hunger for human brains.They just love brains. They are the main antagonists within Plants vs. Zombies, as the objective of the game is to prevent them from getting to your house and eating your brains through the use of a variety of plants, many of which specialize in unique aspects and features. You can also defend your house with lawn mowers, automatically given to you on the first level of the game. However, in Puzzle Mode I, Zombie levels and the Vs. Mode in the PS3, Xbox Live Arcade and Plants vs. Zombies Nintendo DS versions of the game, the player can play as zombies to overcome the defenses and reach the house to eat the homeowner's brains. Zombies, like their defensive counterparts the plants, are varied in strength as well as speed, and command unique aspects which need to be countered appropriately.

Imps in I, Zombie are the weakest, taking exactly 3 normal hits.

Trivia

 * Before the first zombie walks on your lawn, they will say "the zombies are coming."
 * The Zombot is not technically a zombie but a robot as seen in the picture.
 * The hand of a normal Zombie can be seen popping out of the grave on the main menu Adventure Mode is loaded, followed by an evil laugh.
 * Zombies' Surprise Attack appear in Night, Pool, Fog, and Roof levels; in the first, they come out of the graves, in the next two, water in the right four columns of the pool, covered in coral, and are functionally the same as Ducky Tube Zombies. In Roof levels, they are dropped by Bungee Zombies onto the slope of the roof, and appear and function the same way as normal, Conehead, or Buckethead Zombies. In all three cases, with the notable exception of Whack-a-Zombie (and level 2-5) and Level 5-5, they appear only at the end, during the last flag in a level, including every other wave in Survival: Endless.
 * However, These Surprise attacks can be prevented.
 * Zombies popping out of Graves can be stopped by planting a Grave Buster on the grave; the grave will disappear. Ambush Zombies popping out of the pool can be prevented by planting or waking up an Ice-shroom so it explodes after the huge wave of Zombies starts to appear on the right of the screen but before the Ambush Zombies appear. Ambush Zombies dropped by Bungee Zombies can be stopped by planting an Umbrella Leaf within one square of where the Zombie appears.


 * Sometimes zombies walk with their tongues hanging down from the mouth.
 * The only zombies encountered in the gameplay that do not have the word "Zombie" as the last word in their name are the Backup Dancer, the Zomboni, the Zombie Bobsled Team, the Zombie Yeti, Dr. Zomboss, the Gargantuar, and the Imp.Zombie_Head_with_Flame.jpg
 * In Versus Mode, some players decide it is better to be on the Zombie side because of their variety of zombies and their capabilities.
 * This is also due to the fact that Zombies are much cheaper than Plants.
 * In the newly released Android Version of Plants vs. Zombies, the Zombies are slightly shorter and have more strands of hair on their heads.
 * There is a glitch in the DS version where after almost all types of zombies require a few more points of damage after losing their heads before they fall over.
 * This also occurs in the Mac version.
 * It is kind of weird that when zombies explode they blink twice even though they can't blink.
 * Sometimes, after eating a plant or hypnotized zombie, a zombie will stick their tongue out.
 * Zombies in the iPad and iPhone version of Plants vs Zombies have a bigger head.
 * When a zombie is eating a plant, and is killed before they can finish, the hands will still move for a few seconds and the zombie falls.
 * [This is due to the glitch in the DS and Mac versions mentioned earlier.
 * In the end of the trailer of the DS, it makes a Zombie Horse.
 * Zombie is translated in Japanese as "ゾンビ" (Zonbi).
 * There are no female Zombies in the game.
 * But there are female plants.
 * However, there are Queen Zombies in artworks for Plants vs. Zombies.
 * Zombies can fully eat non-defensive plants approximately for 2 seconds.
 * It is unknown why the zombies tell you they're about to attack in their notes.
 * When you kill the last zombie in a level, only the head will be shown falling down, while the body disappears.
 * Frozen zombies (slowed zombies by a Snow Pea, Ice-shroom or Winter Melon) on better versions (lPC, iOS, Xbox 360, PS3) have a lighter blue than on DS and DSiWare versions.
