Zombies (PvZ)

Zombies are reanimated dead and mindless creatures; decaying corpses with a hunger for human brraaaaiiiinnnnssss. They are the main (and more or less, only) enemy 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 myriad of defensive plants, many of which specialize in unique aspects. You can also defend your house with lawn mowers, automatically given to you on the first level of the game. However, in the Puzzle Mode I, Zombie levels and the Vs. Mode in the Xbox Live Arcade versions of the game, the player (one of the two in Vs. Mode) must plant zombies to overcome the defenses and reach the house to eat the homeowner's brains. This is also the same with the upcoming DS version of the game.

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.

Trivia

 * The zombies found on the Plants vs. Zombies website's Suburban Almanac have different images than in game.
 * The Zombot is not technically a zombie but a robot as seen in the picture.
 * The normal Zombie's hand can be seen popping out of the grave when you click to play Adventure Mode followed by an evil laugh, similar to the game Left 4 Dead only with the exception of the evil laugh.
 * "Ambush Zombies" 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 seaweed, and are functionally the same as Ducky Tube Zombies (or a headwear variant). 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 both cases, with the notable exception of Level 5-5, they appear only at the end, during the last Huge Wave of Zombies in a level, including every other such wave in Survival: Endless.
 * It is unknow how the zombies can eat brains after eating loads of plants.
 * In the mini-game Slot Machine, there is a zombie with silver coins as eyes at the slot machine.
 * The only zombies encountered in the gameplay that do not have the word "Zombie" as the last word in their title (excluding the giga forms of the gargantuar and imp) are the Backup Dancer, the Zomboni, the Zombie Bobsled Team, the Zombie Yeti, Dr. Zomboss, the Gargantuar, and the Imp.
 * The Zombies seem to lack proper noses.
