Conehead Zombie


 * For the version in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, see Conehead Zombie (PvZ: GW).

Conehead Zombies and their time-themed variants in Plants vs. Zombies 2 are the zombies with roadcones on their head for protection. While he is relatively easy to defeat, he is slightly more difficult to kill them than both the Flag Zombie and the ordinary Zombie. They have somewhat normal health, but they can only be directly hurt once the roadcone has fallen off their head.

Plants vs. Zombies
Conehead Zombie first appears in Level 1-3. He is the third zombie the player encounters, after the ordinary zombie and the Flag Zombie. He is one of the most common zombies in this game, along with the normal Zombie, and the Flag Zombie.

Plants vs. Zombies Adventures
Conehead Zombie first appears in The Boonies level 3. He appears almost every level since he has appeared. Strangely, Conehead Zombie does not appear in The Sand Dooms, but he reappears in a few levels of Zombitorium Manor.

Plants vs. Zombies 2
Normal Conehead Zombies only appear in Player's House - Day 3 and 4. However, they have variants in each different area; Conehead Mummy in Ancient Egypt, Conehead Pirate in Pirate Seas, Conehead Cowboy in Wild West, Future Conehead Zombie in Far Future, Conehead Peasant in Dark Ages, Pompadour Conehead and Bikini Conehead in Big Wave Beach, Cave Conehead Zombie in Frostbite Caves, Conehead Adventurer Zombie in Lost City, Neon Conehead in Neon Mixtape Tour, Conehead Kung-Fu Zombie and Conehead Monk Zombie in Kung-Fu World and Conehead Pilot Zombie in Castle in the Sky. His health and speed are the same as in Plants vs. Zombies.

Strategies
Even though he takes more hits than the regular Zombie, this zombie is not at all difficult to stop. A Snow Pea, two Peashooters, or a Repeater can take him down easily. He is weak to almost all strategies, so your basic setup should take him out. However, do not underestimate him, as he can be a threat in the early levels and the beginning of the game. A single Peashooter can be sufficient to kill one if the Conehead Zombie is far enough away, but two or three work better, especially if there are multiple zombies needed to be killed. He is very easy to kill so use 2 peashooters or a repeater.

I, Zombie Endless
After the normal zombie is replaced by the Imp, use this zombie for the lanes you want a small amount of damage absorption. Their roadcones are not affected by the Magnet-shroom, so use them to take out the Magnet-shroom if it is not well defended. However, be careful not to send them to a highly defended lane. For puzzles involving Scaredy-shrooms, time Conehead placement and location, so the most Scaredy-shrooms in a lane are hiding, allowing Coneheads to walk down the row with no or minimal harm.

General

 * Zombie, Conehead Zombie, Buckethead Zombie, Gargantuar, and Imp are the only zombies that appear in every Plants vs. Zombies game.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies

 * In the Suburban Almanac, it's stated that a Conehead Zombie is twice as tough as a normal Zombie, but in fact he's 2.8x as tough as one. Most likely it is stating that two Peashooters is the number of Peashooters required to kill it without getting bitten, while one is required for a normal zombie (although, if planted in the left most column when it first appears, one Peashooter is enough).
 * As seen in the concept design for the Conehead Zombie posted on the Plants vs. Zombies Facebook page, the Conehead Zombie, instead of just being a normal zombie with a traffic cone on his head, he would be what appears to be a construction worker. It also shows that the Conehead Zombie would have had a mustache.
 * Conehead Zombie is the third most frequently occurring zombie (other than regular Zombies and the Flag Zombie), as he appears in every level but levels 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 4-5, ZomBotany, ZomBotany 2, Pogo Party, Bobsled Bonanza, Heavy Weapon, BOMB All Together!, Homerun Derby, Portal Combat, Zombiquarium, Air Raid, Air Raid (Hidden Mini-game), Ice Level, Squirrel, Vasebreaker and first seven I, Zombie levels.
 * Some of the Game of the Year edition packs come with a punch-out cardboard cone that can be placed on the head of the zombie figurine. This cone will require minimal construction first, possibly with the aid of tape.
 * Conehead Zombie, Buckethead Zombie, Screen Door Zombie and Trash Can Zombie are the only zombies that can degrade into a normal Zombie.
 * If Plants vs. Zombies: Game of the Year Version was purchased on Steam before May 5, 2011, players from Team Fortress 2 will be awarded with a Dead Cone, a promotional cosmetic item for the Pyro.
 * The top of the cone can be seen through the fog if it appears on the top row of a Fog level.
 * In anything Wall-nut Bowling-related and Whack a Zombie, it takes two hits for a Conehead Zombie to die.
 * Conehead Zombie, along with two normal Zombies, appears on the loading screen.
 * Conehead Zombie is the first zombie to have some sort of armor.
 * In the real life, the traffic cone is bigger than one in game.
 * Real cones also aren't always shaped like cones.
 * Although there are some cones in real life small enough for headwear.
 * If the player looks closely, the Conehead Zombie has no hair on his head.
 * If the player watches closely, he or she will notice that the Zombie's hair pops up from nowhere when the cone disappears.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies Adventures

 * Conehead Zombie and DJ Zom-B are the only zombies to not appear in every level of the map they're introduced in.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies 2

 * Pirate Conehead Zombie, Imp Pirate Zombie, and Adventurer Zombie are the only zombies in the entire series to speak in their Almanac entries.
 * The Wild West and the Frostbite Caves variants of the Conehead Zombie are the only ones to not have a plastic roadcone.
 * Modern variants of Conehead Zombies can also use sandstorms to attack the player but this was only seen in Plants vs. Zombies 5th Anniversary.
 * The Future Conehead Zombie is the only zombie that has a Greek letter in his Almanac Entry.
 * In the Almanac, prior to the 2.5.1 update, the Conehead Peasant had a bone sticking out of his arm.
 * The starfish on Pompadour Conehead moves when Pompadour Conehead's cone degrades.
 * It is currently unknown why the Lost City Conehead Zombie still has the same speed as other zombies, when it carries a bag. This applies to the Basic and Buckethead versions.
 * It could be because the bag might be empty.
 * Neon Conehead is called "Neon Conehead Zombie" in his Almanac Entry.
