 Peashooter Zombie  is a type of zombieundefined found in the mini-gamesundefined ZomBotanyundefined and ZomBotany 2undefined. It is the zombie equivalent of the Peashooterundefined. It moves forward slowly like any other zombie, but it constantly fires peaundefined s in front of it, hitting plantsundefined. Each pea deals just less than a bite's damage. It, like other ZomBotany Zombies, has no Almanac entry.

Overview
The Peashooter Zombie absorbs 10 normal damage shots and its appearance changes upon an absorption of 5 normal damage shots before dying at 10 normal damage shots.

Strategies
As they have low toughness, just kill them however you would to regular zombieundefined. However, use defensive plants to protect Sunflowerundefined s and other plants against their peaundefined s. If you like, use a Puff-shroomundefined with a Coffee Beanundefined because a Peashooter Zombie is basically a regular zombie with the same speed and health as a Zombie that shoots peas. Peas cannot hit the Puff-shrooms and they can easily take down a normal zombie. Spikeweedundefined and Spikerockundefined also work, since they cannot be hit by peas, although it may take more than one, though (especially for Wall-nut Zombies). Garlicundefined would also work to divert this zombie into another more heavily defended other lane, although you would have to pay close attention to quickly refresh them.

Trivia
* If the player uses a Hypno-shroomundefined on this zombie, it will continue to shoot peas at their plants (out of the back of its head) and damage them, despite facing the other direction. **On iOS versions, this does not happen. Instead, it fires purple-shaded peas at other zombies, which damages them, and basically works as a walking Peashooterundefined. * Peas from unhypnotized Peashooter Zombies will not hit the hypnotized ones. * The peas from the Peashooter Zombie (and Gatling Pea Zombieundefined ) do less damage than a zombie's bite. **This is likely because most plants are weak enough that they would die almost immediately and it would be very difficult to get a proper defense up. Most plants take 16 peas before dying. * The player can know where a Peashooting Zombie will appear, as they fire the peas before they come on the screen. * The Peashooter Zombie cannot shoot Potato Mineundefined s, even when already armed, Puff-shroomundefineds, Sun-shroomundefined s (unless planted on a Flower Potundefined), Lily Padundefined, Spikeweedundefined and Spikerockundefined, because the peas fly over them. * If a pea passes through a Torchwoodundefined, the pea will not light on fire, but instead damage the Torchwood. ** Perhaps this was done on purpose so that a single Peashooter Zombie could not mutilate the defense. * Strangely enough, its peas will go straight over Puff-shroomundefineds but hit Sea-shroomundefined s even though it is clear that its peas go over the Sea-shroomundefined. It is unknown whether this happens purposely or if it is a glitch. * The Peashooter Zombie is always the first zombie the player encounters in ZomBotanyundefined and ZomBotany 2undefined. * All zombies in ZomBotanyundefined and ZomBotany 2undefined before the first flag are Peashooter Zombies. * In the Xbox Live Arcade version, the cover of the mini-game ZomBotanyundefined is a Peashooter Zombie with the back leaves of a Repeaterundefined. * The Peashooter Zombie is actually weaker than a Peashooterundefined because the Peashooter Zombie takes ten peas before dying while the Peashooterundefined takes 16 peas before dying. * In the DS version, the Peashooter's head remains and does not shoot peas when it dies. * On the iOS icon of ZomBotanyundefined, the player can see a stem on the Peashooter Zombie if looking carefully. *Although Snow Peaundefined, Ice-shroomundefined or Winter Melonundefined slow down this zombie, it still fires at their normal rate. The same goes for the Gatling Pea Zombieundefined.
