Dr. Zomboss



Dr. Zomboss is the final boss and the ruler of the zombies in the game, and is battled in level 5-10. He sends out other Zombies - any Zombie except the water zombies, Flag Zombies, Dancing Zombies (with Backup Dancers too), Digger Zombies, Balloon Zombies and Giga-Gargantuars. The Boss Battle itself is a conveyor belt level, where seed packets come on the conveyor belt at the top of the screen.

Almanac Entry
'''Dr. Zomboss ''' Dr. Zomboss rules them all. Toughness (in Zombot shell): extreme. Edgar George Zomboss achieved his Doctorate in Thanatology in only two years. Quickly mastering thanatological technology, he built his fearsome Zombot and set about establishing absolute dominance of his local subdivision.

Attacks
Dr. Zomboss has 4 attacks. When not doing any of them he will be sending zombies at you.
 * The most common attack is to duck down so you can see his head. After a short delay his eyes will glow either red or blue, signalling his attack:
 * If red, he will unleash a fireball. Use an Ice-shroom to extinguish it.
 * If blue, he will unleash a snowball. Use a Jalapeno to melt it (making sure to plant it in the same row).
 * Another attack is to drop 3 bungee-zombies down, with them hanging on his hand. They will of course steal 3 plants unless you kill them first.
 * If the player plants any plants off of the sloped section of the roof, on the flat part, Dr. Zomboss may squash them with his foot.
 * Dr. Zomboss will throw a camper down on your plants every so often, crushing all of the plants in a 3 wide x 2 tall area instantly.

Strategy

 * Always have an Ice-shroom and Jalapeno ready for Zomboss' Iceball and Fireball attacks.
 * If possible, save up these two plants for Zomboss' attacks, or for tougher enemies such as Zombonis.
 * Never keep all your Melon-pults next to each other. This helps save plants from the camper thrown by the boss.
 * When Dr. Zomboss ducks down to attack you with an iceball or fireball, use ice-shrooms to freeze him so that your plants have more time to do damage.
 * Avoid using a Jalapeno whilst he is frozen, as this will un-freeze him and let him move away.
 * It is also possible to keep re-freezing him with multiple Ice-Shrooms before and after the attack, providing a huge opening for your plants.

Trivia

 * You get to battle Zomboss again in the last minigame: Dr. Zomboss' Revenge.
 * The name Zomboss comes from the words "Zombie" and "Boss", meaning "Zombie Boss".
 * Sometimes a glitch may occur in the boss battle.
 * Dr. Zomboss has a degree in Thanatology, the study of death and the emotions surrounding it.
