Bucket

A bucket is the headwear that Buckethead Zombies wear. It is used to protect the Buckethead Zombie from damage. Because it is metal, it can be attracted by the Magnet-shroom, and is also the third strongest piece of headwear in the game. The Screen Door has the same health as it.

The bucket is a very strong headwear, so make sure you are prepared to kill zombies that wear it. It's good to use either catapult plants or a fire-pea combo. Note that it can also be stolen by a Magnet-shroom.

Trivia
For more trivia, see Buckethead Zombie.
 * The bucket has a little bit of blood or red paint/rust on it. This is one of the reasons why ESRB says it has "animated blood" (the other reason being you can see red blood and bone when a zombie's arm falls off).Buckethead_concept.jpg
 * As seen in the concept design for the Buckethead Zombie posted on the Plants vs. Zombies Facebook Page, the "blood" is actually a paint stain, as it was supposed to be a painter who used his paint bucket as a helmet.
 * This is the first armor in the game that can be stolen by Magnet-shroom.
