I guess it's time to make the list of best and worst zombies, isn't it? This is only for PvZ1, and is only two top tens, but that's still plenty of zombies. I mean, there really aren't enough zombies in PvZ1 to make two top fifteens.

Top Ten Best Zombies
Well, let's see what Zombies I like the most, shall we?

10th: The Diver
While not as good as the PvZ2 version, Snorkel Zombies were creative zombies that encouraged the use of defensive plants, as said plants are the only ways to leave them vulnerable to attacks for an extended period of time. However, the weakness to catapults makes them harmless once you've unlocked Cabbage-pult.

9th: The Sports Star
He may just be a high health zombie that's fast, but he's still a fun zombie to fight and he's not too strong or too weak. He's got numerous weaknesses but none are perfect counters, so he can always be a challenge.

8th: The Crusher
Squash Zombie was on the last list and...well actually, most zombies on this list were on the last one, albeit in largely a different order, but that's beside the point. He's more than just a zombie with plant powers. His increased speed make him unique among the Zombotanies and allows him to easily take out a vital defensive plant, leaving you vulnerable to Gatling Pea Zombies, Tall-nut Zombies or even additional Squash Zombies. However, he isn't as overly destructive as a Jalapeno Zombie can be, which is what puts him on this list.

7th: The Leaper
Pole Vaulting Zombies perfectly prepare a player for what is to come, by saying that the zombies are more creative than each one just having more health than the last. A new player may get confused or annoyed when it first jumps over one of their plants, but hey, it's still a fun zombie to fight that can be a threat early on without getting frustrating or being too difficult to counter.

6th: The Summoner
Disco is cool. Well, not really, but this zombie is. It's a creative zombie that can overwhelm defences that lack AoE firepower but without being too strong against such defences, and a good player can bring it down with minimal trouble. But...it's a little too easy for my liking, which is why it's not any higher.

5th: The Thrillseeker
Falling out of the sky to pluck a plant out of their pot and help the zombies eat your brains. Bungees are a perfect example of a support zombie, one that directly poses no threat to your brains but makes it so much easier for other zombies that it certainly serves a purpose. Umbrella Leaves can be used to counter it, but if you don't have them, you usually need to accept certain losses.

4th: The Climber
From an era before disablers were hated, Ladder Zombies came to walk all over our defensive plants, literally. Being short-ranged and limited to only disabling one plant type meant they weren't OP, but if they got to put a ladder on one of your defenders, then you'd have to either dig it up, blow up the ladder or use Magnet-shrooms, giving you few options...although still enough that it didn't seem unfair. Plus, Ladder Zombies must be congratulated on being the only zombie people have used to their advantage to make plants semi-invincible.

3rd: The Giant
Gargs in the original were well-balanced, a great end-game zombie to give players a challenge that isn't unfair. It's very powerful, yes, but not too powerful. It shows you that zombies can survive the supposed "insta-kill" plants, and shows you just how strong they can be, and provides a really fun few levels. Shame it's rather underused aside from endless modes.

2nd: The Space Ogre
A really powerful zombie, that's not too powerful, provides some rather unique challenges and does have an effective weakness if you can't deal with it the conventional way. The ice trail is the most unique feature, allowing Bobsled Teams to spawn and preventing you from planting until you remove it or it melts.

I both love and hate this zombie. But the love for its creativity outweighs my hate for the frustration it has caused me before.

1st: The Big Bad
Zomboss, as I said before, is always a joy to fight, and will never let you down. And in PvZ1, the battle with him is one of the best bosses I've ever encountered in a video game. It's fun, creative, and it's well-made. And bosses like that almost never occur in Tower Defence games.

Plus...he's hilarious.

Top Ten Worst Zombies
There are zombies I hate too though...

Not a lot. I might have to go to some extreme lengths to find ten zombies to put on this list, considering how good most PvZ1 zombies are.
