However, they still use concepts that we've seen in other zombies before, or ones we should've seen by this point. Example to prove my point: Zombies such as the Wizard, Surfer, Football Mech, and Imp Cannon are all completely original zombies that use completely new concepts that we've never seen before.

If I were as nitpicky as you are, I would say:


 * Camel is a bunch of Shield zombies in a group
 * Pharaoh is a heavily armored zombie like Football zombie
 * Barrel Roller and Pianist crush plants like Zomboni
 * Zombie Parrot steals your plants like Bungee Zombie
 * Prospector Zombie has the special ability to appear in the back row and attack your plants from behind, like Digger Zombie
 * Jetpack floats over your defenses and is vulnerable to Blover like Balloon Zombie (from PvZ1)
 * Surfer Zombie (which you said is original) is speedy on the water but slower on land, like Dolphin Rider
 * Imp Cannon (which you also claimed is original) is immobile and attacks plants in the back like Catapult Zombie

And so on. This is a very basic tower defense game which can only have so much variety. Some zombies will have weaknesses against certain plants and immunity against others. Some zombies will benefit from certain environmental modifiers. The basic speed/health stats can be tweaked. That's about it. You can't do a whole lot.
