Zombie

&nbsp Zombies are weak and easy to destroy creatures encountered in every level. Lacking any special defensive equipment and travel abilities, these zombies are susceptible to every type of attack. They are basic cannon fodder for the zombie hordes. Any strategy could work against this zombie.

Overview
Absorbs 10 Normal Damage Shots. Appearance changes upon absorption of 5 Normal Damage Shots.

Strategy
In a standard Adventure or Survival Mode level, regular zombies will be the first to appear and will start the assault in approximately the time it would take the player to plant three Sunflowers, as measured during a day-time level. They can be killed by planting a Potato Mine (25 Sun) far enough away from the front-lines, purchasing the Garden Rake from Crazy Dave's shop ($200), or planting relatively cheap offensive plants like Peashooters or Kernel-pults. For night-time levels, the player can use Mushrooms like Puff-shrooms and Sea-shrooms (0 Sun each). The Tangle Kelp (25 Sun each) provides an aquatic Potato Mine-style plant in pool levels. For dealing with large volumes of zombies, more expensive additions such as the Torchwood (175 Sun each) and Melon-pult (300 Sun each) are available, in addition to instant kills such as the Jalapeno (125 Sun each). Some plants, such as the Repeater (200 Sun each) and the Fume-shroom (75 Sun each) can be upgraded to increase efficiency and give them new abilities.
