Lost Pilot Zombie

 is the fifth zombie encountered in Lost City in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He drops in on a parachute and hangs above the ground for a while. After a few seconds or after using Blover or Hurrikale, he will drop down and walk forward. He only appears in groups during the "Parachute Rain!" ambush.

Drops in past defenses

He faked his pilot's license and figured nobody would notice. But they did.

Strategies
This zombie is Lost City's ambush zombie, and will only appear on the lawn during the ambush "Parachute Rain!". It has a little bit more health than a standard zombie, but only by six health points. They are immune to Blover and Hurrikale's instant kill ability, despite appearing to be airborne (attempting to use one will simply cause the to fall from his parachute instantly). They are annoying alone, but when they drop in large numbers, they can easily crowd your defenses, drawing fire away from more dangerous zombies. The best way to defeat them is to simply have a strong offense. Plants that can attack through multiple zombies, such as Bloomerang, Laser Bean, Fume-shroom, and A.K.E.E. are useful for quickly clearing the lawn of s, as well as defending against other Lost City zombies. This zombie can eat plants even when still in the air, so planting Wall-nuts or Endurians underneath them can stall them and give your other plants a chance to attack them.

Lost City - Day 32
s will always appear when Dr. Zomboss call a plane to attack. They appear between 3, 4 or 5 column and can be a problem if you do not have a well-prepared defense. s are the closest zombies to activate a Boulder Trap Tile and eliminate your defenses with ease. The number of s who can appear for the plane is varied. Depends on the live of Zombot Aerostatic Gondola at that time.
