Imp Monk


 * For the other variants, see Imp or Tiger Imp.

Imp Monk is a zombie in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is first encountered in Kung-Fu World - Day 17. It's not an ordinary Imp, as it can float over obstacles which renders it invulnerable for a short time, then lands past through the player's defenses. It comes like a zombie and is not accompanied by Gargantuars.

Strategies
Use lobbed-shot plants or a Bamboo Shoot to damage the Imp. That way when it floats over, you won't have to bother any longer as the other plants could make short work for it. Beware though, you need to use Tall-nuts to stall them or it will cause serious damage to your backmost defenses. What's worse is Nunchuck Zombies can topple the Tall-nuts in three strikes, rendering you vulnerable to these Imps. Do not even think about using Peashooting plants unless there are no Nunchuck Zombies or Weapon Stands blocking its way. Bonk Choy is somehow effective on the other hand. Other than that, the Monk Variant of Drinking Zombie can also be threatening as it can kill your plants with just two hits of its bottled drink so long as that and this Imp are present. Use an Iceberg Lettuce or Winter Melon to slow it down (Snow Pea if there are no Weapon Stands blocking the way). Because its ability is to become immune from damages while floating, a Heavenly Peach may also come in handy if and only if, you have no defensive plants at your disposal.
