Turquoise Skull Zombie

Turquoise Skull Zombie is a zombie encountered in Lost City. In a similar manner as Ra Zombie, he steals sun, but can also use his turquoise-colored skull to burn the player's plants up to four tiles in front of him. The zombie does not need sun in order to do the latter. If he manages to steal sun from the player, the sun will not be returned to them when the zombie dies, unlike Ra Zombie.

Overview
Turquoise Skull Zombie absorbs 12 normal damage shots and degrades upon absorbing 6 normal damage shots before dying at 12 normal damage shots.

Strategies
The main weakness of this zombie is his own ability to steal sun. It is what keeps him from being overpowered. As it will always try to steal sun before burning the plants in front of him, the player should focus on killing him then. If more expensive plants are close to Turquoise Skull Zombie and the player has not killed him yet, it is perhaps best to dig the plants up. It is worth noting that Turquoise Zombie is random regarding its abilities, as sometimes it will start stealing sun as soon as he enters the lawn.

Trivia

 * He bears a strong resemblance to Archimedes Q. Porter from Tarzan.
 * The skull used by Turquoise Skull Zombie is most likely a reference to the crystal skull in the Indiana Jones movie Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
 * This is further proven by his almanac entry, which references crystal skulls.
 * Despite stealing sun, he still appears in Special Delivery levels. This is because his attack does not require sun to be used.
 * When he steals sun, his attack goes further than normal.
 * Sun about to be stolen by this zombie becomes blue instead of red, unlike the color of Ra Zombie's sun.
 * He can kill Hypnotised Gargantuars in one shot.
 * Unlike Explorer Zombie, an Infi-nut will still regenerate if destroyed by the laser beam.
 * It is the zombie counterpart of the Magnifying Grass.
