Exploding Imp Fan

Not to be confused with the Exploding Imp, Imp Punt, or possibly the Super-Fan Imp.

The Exploding Imp Fan is a zombie that appears in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. He appears mostly in Garden Ops, although he will also appear in Solo Play Gardens & Graveyards, where he will be spawned by AI Zombie Heroes. He looks almost exactly like the Imp Punt, and functions very similarly to both the Imp Punt and the Exploding Imp. His only attack is the Imp Explosion, which is the same attack used by the Exploding Imp. It also deals the same damage.

Trivia
This zombie does not have his own icon in Garden Warfare, although he does in Garden Warfare 2.

Although this Zombie has no Spikeweed animation in Garden Warfare, he has his own Gooped, Burrow, and Swallow animation. All of these animations would later be reused/recycled in Garden Warfare 2 for the new Imp class.

In Garden Warfare, his only difference visually from the Imp Punt, besides the fact that he walked, was that his dynamite fuses were not lit until he is about to explode. However, in Garden Warfare 2, they are lit the whole time that he is running.

He can be heard laughing frantically when his is running in Garden Warfare. These are slightly diffent than the ones used by the Exploding Imp.

It is strange that Zombie Heroes in Garden Warfare 2 Solo Play summon these instead of regular Exploding Imps, as players in online Gardens and Graveyard cannot summon Exploding Imp Fans, only Exploding Imps.

These, along with Yeti Imps and Exploding Imps, appear to explode and leave a fiery trail in the air when vanquished, even if they are eaten by a Chomper.
