Haunting Zombie

Unreleased

Haunting Zombie is a premium uncommon zombie card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the zombies. It costs 2 to summon, and has 2/1. It has the Afterlife trait, which allows it to return to the Zombie Hero's hand as a Haunting Ghost when destroyed for the first time. This Afterlife version has almost identical stats as the original one, but without the Afterlife trait.

Statistics

 * Class: Beastly
 * Tribe: Monster Zombie
 * Effect: Afterlife
 * Rarity: Premium - Uncommon

Card description
''Is he a Zombie? Is he a ghost? He refuses to be pigeonholed.''

Version 1.4.14

 * Tribe change: Ghost Zombie to Monster Zombie.

Strategies
Because it has the Afterlife trait, you can play this again safely if the original Haunting Zombie gets destroyed from a Trick or a Bonus Attack. Other than that, this zombie is not in a Tribe that benefits from other cards and has low stats, so it becomes less useful in the late game. Still, it can put pressure on the Plant Hero because they know it'll come back when they destroy this.

Trivia

 * The Haunting Zombie is not a ghost; rather, it is a zombie with a white sheet on top of it.
 * However, the Afterlife version is a real ghost.
 * Its description is a nod to Cattail's Almanac entry on the first game, where it "refuses to be pigeonholed", just like the last line on Cattail's entry.
 * Haunting Zombie and Octo Zombie are the only zombies with the Afterlife trait.
 * Coincidentally, they are both premium Beastly zombies.
