Bug Zombie

Bug Zombie is a zombie encountered in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that appears in Lost City. The bug can carry Basic, Conehead, or Buckethead Adventurer Zombies (variants of the Basic Zombies). It greatly improves the zombie's speed, making it easier for the zombies to advance. Kernel-pult's butter can destroy the bug instantly, while using Blover or Hurrikale will kill both the zombie and the bug, and Tall-nut can stop it from keep moving. The bug has separate health from the zombie it is carrying. When it is destroyed, the zombie will fall to the ground and advance normally.

Almanac entry
TOUGHNESS: Protected SPEED: Speedy

Bug carries zombie in over ground defenses and lifts him over barriers.

Bug Zombie and Bug make a great team. Partly because Bug gives Bug Zombie great mobility, but mostly because they share an intense disinterest in horses.

Overview
Bug Zombie absorbs 18 normal damage shots and degrades uppon an absorption of 9 normal damage shots, before dying at 18 normal damage shots. After death it drops the zombie that it is carrying.

Appearances
Lost City: Days 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16.

Strategies
Bug Zombies are dangerous and annoying zombies due to their speed and normal damage shots they absorb, and especially because they sometimes carry a Buckethead Adventurer. However, they are very similar to Seagull Zombie and Jetpack Zombie, so use Blover or Hurrikale to defeat them instantly, making these zombies less dangerous. Kernel-pult is also a choice, but it highly depends on luck and it only kills the bug, not the zombie, so using this plant is not recommended as also Parasol Zombies can be present, but it is recommended if Tall-nut is present as it can stop the zombie from continuing its tracks.
