Dodo Rider Zombie

Dodo Rider Zombie is the fifth zombie introduced in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time encountered in the Frostbite Caves. Dodo Rider Zombies can glide over sliders. Dodo Rider Zombie will glide randomly, or whenever it encounters a slider. It can also glide over plants, but it's rare happening. Otherwise, it will proceed normally. Hurrikale and Blover can kill Dodo Rider Zombie instantly so long as it is gliding, and Hurrikale can kill it if it blows the Dodo Rider Zombie back onto a slider.

Description
The Dodo Rider Zombie is based on the Dodo bird or otherwise known by its scientific name, Raphus Cucullatus itself, an extinct type of bird that lived during the time period known as the Ice age. In the game, Dodo Rider Zombie's fur is colored completely in violet while the face and wings are yellow colored. Its feet are orange and the nails and beak are all black.

The Dodo is ridden by an Imp that wears a brown-colored sweater with gray fur linings, black gloves, and pants.

Dodo believes dodos are the future of transportation. He believes a public dodo-riding system is not only a wise expenditure of tax dollars but would help the vast majority of zombies get where they need to go more efficiently. Everyone keeps telling him there's no future in dodos, but he refuses to listen.
