Suburban Almanac



The Suburban Almanac is a book containing data on all the Plants the player owns, and all the Zombies that the player has encountered. Each time a new zombie appears in the seed-choosing menu at the start of a level, a new card appears with the zombie name and picture, but instead of a description, there is a "(not encountered yet)" message. The Suburban Almanac is unlocked upon the completion of level 2-4 in Adventure Mode.

Although important information, like damage, recharge, and cost are shown for each plants and similar statistics are included for each zombie (such as toughness and weaknesses), some information is wrong or misleading, and some is missing altogether. The flavor text for each entry is fairly humorous and may include jokes or references to other parts of the game.

Trivia

 * The name is likely a reference to the "Suburban Book of the Dead", a novel by Robert Rankin.
 * The Giga-Gargantuar, Giga-Imp and the plant-zombie hybrids in ZomBotany do not show up in the Suburban Almanac.
 * In the Pumpkin's description, Renfield, a character from Popcap's Peggle, is mentioned.
 * Only 48 seed packets can be seen in the Almanac; to access the Imitator's entry, the player must click the image in the top left corner of the Plants section.
