Board Thread:Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time/@comment-25154254-20150112014500/@comment-4417029-20150113020731

You know something. I think that Zombies with the ability to neutralize plants are a brilliant concept...No joke really. It's interesting to see this kind of zombie.

Popcap had this idea and eventually make the Wizard Zombie. I guess they thought that any plant could beat it but that didn't turn out very well. Instead Wizards become a higher form of threat to the plants, probably something Popcap didn't want. They tries again with Octo Zombie, of course, this time giving the players a chance of freeing the neutralized plants but again, it didn't turn out well either. Then there comes the Hunter Zombie, unlike the previous two, he actually has a counter. You could say Popcap has finally made a successful Wizard-esque zombie by creating the Hunter Zombie.
