Imp


 * For other versions, see Imp (disambiguation).

Imp and its world-themed variants in Plants vs. Zombies 2 are small fast-moving zombies that commonly get thrown off the backs of Gargantuars that can quickly result in the player's in-game defeat if not prepared. This is due to the fact that it gets thrown into the middle of the plants and possibly at the final column. However, if it is thrown deep into their defenses, it will most likely cause quite a lot of damage if the players defenses are not strong enough. Imps are small enough to chew on a plant with a Spikeweed or Spikerock in front of it without being damaged in Plants vs. Zombies.

Plants vs. Zombies
The Imp is the 24th zombie encountered in Adventure Mode. He is thrown from the back of the Gargantuar or Giga-gargantuar. In I, Zombie, regular Zombies are replaced with Imps in Three Hit Wonder and the levels after it.

Plants vs. Zombies 2
All Imp variants are thrown by Gargantuars from their respective areas with an exception of Announcer Imp, Tiger Imp, Imp Dragon Zombie, Imp Porter, Imp Monk, and Super-Fan Imp. They also can be summoned by other zombies, such as the Imp Cannon, Zombie Bull, Troglobite, entering the lawn by themselves, or by sandstorm, low tide, and snowstorm ambushes.

Most Imp variants can appear on their own, while others can only be thrown off Gargantuar's back, or appear with another type of zombies. However, other variants of Imps can appear on their own in Piñata Parties.

Imp Dragon Zombie, Imp Mermaid Zombie, Yeti Imp, Lost City Imp Zombie, Imp Porter, Impunk and Jurassic Imp are currently the only Imps that can appear on their own without going via ambushes.

Imp Mummy
The Imp Mummy is encountered in Ancient Egypt. He rides the Mummified Gargantuar, thrown when the Mummified Gargantuar reaches half health. He was not in the game until version 1.7, as he is only seen thrown from the Mummified Gargantuar, and the Gargantuar battles were not released until that update due to the old map system. He can also sometimes appear by itself without the Mummified Gargantuar during the battle with the Zombot Sphinx-inator.

Imp Pirate Zombie
The Imp Pirate Zombie is encountered in the Pirate Seas. Two Imp Pirate Zombies are inside the barrel of Barrel Roller Zombie. This zombie can also be shot by an Imp Cannon towards the player's defense, and shot by a Gargantuar Pirate's cannon similarly. A group of Imp Pirate Zombies can also appear from being shot from the cannon of the Zombot Plank Walker. They appear in five or seven upon firing. One is also tied to the Zombot Plank Walker itself but cannot be attacked. This zombie, interestingly, appears once in Kongfu World, possibly because it was set six years before Pirate Seas.

Zombie Bull Rider
The Zombie Bull Rider is encountered in the Wild West. It rides the Zombie Bull and it's also thrown by the Wild West Gargantuar. The Zombie Bull Rider instantly dies if the Zombie Bull or Wild West Gargantuar is killed before it is thrown. Be careful when fighting these as Zombie Bulls can throw them over all defenses onto a lawn mower, making one activate. During the battle with the Zombot War Wagon, it can also sometimes appear by itself without the Wild West Gargantuar considering that none of the Zombie Bulls are summoned in the battle. They would also appear by itself in some Piñata Parties.

Bug Bot Imp
The Bug Bot Imp is encountered in the Far Future.

Imp Monk Zombie
The Imp Monk Zombie is a zombie that appears in the Dark Ages. It is often confused with the Kongfu World variant. They can be thrown from the back of a Dark Ages Gargantuar, or appear in the ambush "Necromancy!"

Imp Dragon Zombie
The Imp Dragon is a variant that appears in Dark Ages. He is spawned by the Zombot Dark Dragon in Dark Ages - Night 20, and is an enemy in Arthur's Challenge that appears on his own. He is the only zombie in the game that does not have his own introductory level, due to the lack of content in Dark Ages.


 * See the Strategies section for a list of complete plants which Imp Dragon Zombie is immune to.

Announcer Imp
The Announcer Imp is a royal Imp variant that appears in the Dark Ages. The Announcer Imp marks the arrival of the Zombie King by blowing the royal horn. After the King's arrival, the Imp will be squashed by the King's chair, so the player never really defeats an Announcer Imp.

Imp Mermaid Zombie
The Imp Mermaid Zombie is encountered in Big Wave Beach. She is thrown by Deep Sea Gargantuar, and appears in the "Low Tide!" ambush. She also can appear by herself.

Yeti Imp
The Yeti Imp is encountered in Frostbite Caves. Three of them are thrown from the back of the Sloth Gargantuar, each after a quarter of his health is depleted. They are also found inside of ice blocks pushed by Troglobite, or just on the lawn to begin with.

Lost City Imp Zombie
Lost City Imp Zombie is encountered in Lost City. He is thrown by Porter Gargantuar and also can appear on the lawn by itself.

Impunk
Impunk is encountered in Neon Mixtape Tour. He is thrown by Hair Metal Gargantuar and also can appear on the lawn by himself.

Jurassic Imp
The Jurassic Imp is encountered in the Jurassic Marsh.

Flying Imp Zombie
The Flying Imp is encountered in Sky City. He is sent in two ways; via Transport Boats or Flying Gargantuars. A Flying Gargantuar can throw two Flying Imps.

Plants vs. Zombies
 IMP 

Imps are tiny zombies hurled by Gargantuars deep into your defenses.

Toughness: low

Imp may be small, but he's wiry. He's proficient in zombie judo, zombie karate, and zombie bare-knuckle brawling. He also plays the Melodica.

Plants vs. Zombies
When a regular Gargantuar is hit by an instant kill (but is not killed) or loses half of his health, he will throw the Imp off his back approximately five squares forward (although it can be more in Survival: Endless). Covering the back three columns of the lawn with Pumpkins is a good idea to protect against Imps. The fourth or even fifth column might need a Pumpkin as well if an instant kill is launched when the Gargantuar just walked onto the lawn. In Survival: Endless, Gloom-shrooms with a laddered Pumpkin are often used as the Imp climbs over the ladder without hurting the Pumpkin and will be killed by the Gloom-shroom. Another method is to replace the Sunflower of the last column with other plants, and the best choice is Melon-pult and Winter Melon because they can quickly kill the Imps and may also kill the Gargantuar. If there is not enough sun, replace the Sunflower with the Twin Sunflower. Using Jalapeno after the Gargantuar has thrown the Imp is a good strategy as the Jalapeno will kill the Gargantuar and the Imp in 1 go.

In the I, Zombie Puzzle Mode levels, although Imps can hardly withstand any damage, they're useful to send down an undefended lane to eat a Sunflower or a brain due to their speed. They can be also used to save sun, if any zombie is killed just before it eats the brain and then you use him (although he may be killed at the same time).

It is best to send an Imp down a lane that has a Potato Mine or Squash at the rightmost column in I, Zombie. An Imp can survive one Spikeweed due to his speed. Do not use the Imp if the lane has plants that can attack him, as his low health will kill the Imp and waste 50 sun.

Plants vs. Zombies 2
When a Gargantuar is hit by an instant kill (two for a Jurassic Gargantuar) but is not killed or loses half of its health, it will throw the Imp off its back to the third column. Basic defenses like Repeater are required here although area-of-effect plants like Phat Beet are recommended. Shrinking Violet can instantly defeat Imps by shrinking them to oblivion. Be aware that in this game Imps may spawn in different ways besides Gargantuars, such as barrels or going on the lawn by themselves.

Imp Mummy
Due to the speed of this zombie, you will need to kill this zombie quickly. A good way to do this is with three Repeaters in the same lane, or giving a Peashooter or Repeater some Plant Food. Wall-nuts and Tall-nuts will work too, although you need a good offense, and be prepared to give them Plant Food and/or replace them.

Imp Pirate Zombie
Just do what you do to a regular Imp in the original Plants vs. Zombies. Be very careful when an Imp Pirate Zombie is launched from a Barrel Roller Zombie's barrel or Imp Cannon. He may start to eat one of your plants. It is good to use Plant Food on an Iceberg Lettuce to freeze them to prevent them from eating your plants (avoid using it when they are in air).

Zombie Bull Rider
Use Tall-nut to stop the Zombie Bull Rider and the Zombie Bull in their tracks. A Wall-nut can be used although it is not advised since the Zombie Bull Rider can fly past the Wall-nut. Split Pea or Bonk Choy can also be used when the Zombie Bull Rider flies over since they can attack forward and backward. Multiple Zombie Bulls, Wild West Gargantuars, and Zombie Bull Riders can cause mass destruction on the lawn. A good way to stop multiple Zombie Bull Riders is to deal with Blover.

Imp Monk Zombie
These Imps are very dangerous when risen from graves. Because the Puff-shroom lasts for a short amount of time, you must plant Fume-shrooms to get rid of these Imps for more damage. Avoid planting a Grave Buster when a "Necromancy" warning has shown up as the Imp or other risen zombies will completely eat it.

In Night 10 of Dark Ages, you must use Plant Food on Fume-shrooms after a Dark Ages Gargantuar has thrown its Imp Monk Zombie so that these and other zombies will not kill Fume-shrooms. However, you must be fast against these zombies; otherwise, you will risk spending money on Power Ups and Plant Food.

Imp Dragon Zombie
Imp Dragon Zombies are spawned during the battle with Dr. Zomboss and his Zombot Dark Dragon and also appear in Arthur's Challenge and Modern Day. Due to having an immunity to explosions (Jalapeno and Cherry Bomb) and fire projectiles, you will need to kill this zombie quickly when spawned from Dr. Zomboss by using Fume-shrooms or Pea-nuts. Avoid using Snapdragons and Torchwoods against this Imp, as they deal no damage against him. It is recommended to use Plant Food on your Winter Melons to destroy these types in groups.

So far, Imp Dragon Zombie is immune to the attacks of the following plants:
 * Snapdragon
 * Cherry Bomb
 * Jalapeno
 * Flame Mushroom
 * Fire Peashooter
 * Pepper-pult
 * Peas that pass through Torchwood (fire peas of any kind)
 * Lava Guava
 * Jack O' Lantern
 * Grapeshot's explosion (but the Imps are usually killed by bouncing grapes)
 * Wasabi Whip
 * Explode-o-Nut
 * Bombegranate (but not the seeds it leaves behind)
 * Hot Date
 * Pitaya
 * Match Flower Boxer
 * Firebloom Queen
 * Peanut that passes through Torchwood

Imp Mermaid Zombie
These sneaky Imps will appear suddenly when the "Low Tide!" ambush goes into effect. If on levels 8, 14, or 16 of Big Wave Beach, the Imp Mermaids may appear on the back of a Deep Sea Gargantuar. Build a column a Split Peas on the tide area to defeat these Imps. You can also do the Spring Bean and Blover combo to blow away these ambush zombies and all other zombies in their first appearance.

Yeti Imp
These Imps appear via snowstorms, Sloth Gargantuars, and in Icebound Battleground, and are not very different than normal Imps aside from being immune to Iceberg Lettuce. However, they can appear in large numbers in Icebound Battleground, and up to three at once can be thrown far into your defenses by Sloth Gargantuars. It is recommended to use plants like Rotobaga and Starfruit because they can deal a lot of damage in a short amount of time to deal with them.

Leprechaun Imp
Leprechaun Imps only appeared in the St. Patrick's Day event Party. These types of Imp are dropped from the sky when the warning, "Leprechauns" had shown up. Due to having increased health, you must have a number of Spikeweeds and Coconut Cannons on your lanes. Use Plant Food on the Spikeweed to stun it for more damage. Plant Repeaters and Torchwoods next to Threepeaters for more damage. If you have used Plant Food on the Torchwood, the Leprechaun Imp will take more damage from its napalm fire peas.

They used to drop a gold coin when killed at the St. Paddy's Day Parties, but stopped doing so on the Luck O' The Zombie parties.

Flying Imp
He will be sent facing right into your ground defenses, eating any plants that he comes across and once he reaches the edge of your fortress, he will drop off screen via parachute. Transport boats will send them into random ground columns and Gargantuars will always throw them into the hindmost column. This is extremely dangerous as if the player does not bring any backwards shooting plants, he or she will hopelessly see all of his or her ground defenses eaten. As there are no space for backwards shooting plants and there are no aerial plants that do so, the player may choose bringing Homing Thistles in early levels, but later on they will be quickly overwhelmed by the zombies clogging the screen. Note that despite the Anthurium has two heads, it does not shoot backwards. The player can also plant a column of Chard Guards. When the Imp is thrown, Chard Guard will throw him back.

Imp Punt
Imp Punt is an ability of All-Star. It is a suicidal unit where it explodes on a certain enemy, dealing 150 damage.

Exploding Imp
While the function is somewhat different from Imp Punt, the Exploding Imp on the other hand is a Spawnable Zombie. When summoned, he will attack a plant with explosives with a minimum damage of 20 and a maximum damage of 50. The Exploding Imp explode only when he attacks a plant.

General

 * Imps have appeared in all four main games so far and have appeared in various media.
 * Imps, Robo-Cone Zombie, and Barrel Roller Zombie are the only zombies that sit down when they are defeated.
 * Imp currently has the most variants out of all of the zombies.
 * These include the regular, Mummy, Pirate, Bull Rider, Feastivus, Easter, Bug Bot, Dark Ages Monk, Dragon, Valenbrainz, Kongfu Monk, Tiger, Leprechaun, Announcer, Mermaid, Yeti, Imp Punt, Exploding Imp, Long Bomb, Lost City, Porter, Summer Nights, Impunk, Jurassic, and Super-Fan. This makes a total of 24 different variants, if one does not count the Vampire Imp, Seagull Imp, and Construction Imps at the end of areas with Part 1. If you do, then there are 27 variants.
 * Imps share a few relations to famous folklore creatures of the same name, namely, their small size.
 * Ironically, in most interpretations, Imps are not zombies, but their own separate species. However, in Plants vs. Zombies, they're a type of zombie.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies

 * Imp appears to only have two fingers and no thumbs. However, in the Wabby Wabbo music video, Imp has four fingers.
 * Imp is one of the three zombies with feet that do not wear shoes, the other two being Jack-in-the-Box Zombie and Zombie Yeti (this is assuming that Dr. Zomboss wears shoes, as his feet are not visible).
 * If a Gargantuar that is carrying an Imp dies before throwing the Imp, the Imp will descend into the trash can he is riding in and die with the Gargantuar. This is similar to Dr. Zomboss hiding in the head of the Zombot when it gets destroyed.
 * In Last Stand Endless, if a Gargantuar throws his Imp while mallet mode is activated and the player smashes the Imp while the Imp is in flight, the Imp will just sit down in mid-air and die.
 * If a Ladder Zombie places his ladder on a Wall-nut, an Imp will not climb it, but will just pass through. This does not happen if the ladder is on a Tall-nut.
 * If an Imp is thrown by a Gargantuar, he will be as slow as a normal zombie, although in I, Zombie, he is faster.
 * In I, Zombie, the Imp only takes three normal damage shots to kill.
 * Imp has to bite four times to kill a normal plant.
 * The I, Zombie Imp is the fourth fastest zombie in the game, with the Dolphin Rider Zombie being faster (with its dolphin), the Digger Zombie while he is underground, and the Dancing Zombie when he is doing the moonwalk before he summons Backup Dancers.
 * If the player uses an Ice-shroom while the Imp is in the air, the Imp will just become slowed down when he lands instead of freezing.
 * On the Xbox Live Arcade version, if the Imp gets in the back door of the house, the player will hear the chomping sound and the "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" when the Imp is only halfway into the doorway.
 * Imp is one of nine zombies unavailable for use in Versus Mode.
 * Imp is shown rollerskating twice during the Windows Phone 7 trailer. The first time is near the beginning as the new Dancing Zombie is dancing, and the second is at the end as he rolls out of the light.
 * Imp will disappear in mid air if a Jalapeno is used at the Gargantuar who threw him. The same thing happens with Pole Vaulting Zombie in the air. This also occurs when another instant kill explosive is used on him, such as the Cob Cannon, Cherry Bomb, or Doom-shroom.
 * This happens possibly because when the Imp is in the mid air, he will become a flying zombie.
 * Imp is one of the few zombies in this game without the word "zombie" in the name, the others being Gargantuar, Giga-gargantuar, Backup Dancer, Dr. Zomboss, and Zomboni.
 * In the Wabby Wabbo music video, an Imp appears with a yellow shirt that says "SHORTY", and he has a "lazy eye". You can tell because only one of his eyes moves around like crazy while the other one does not. One might find it either funny or creepy. Not to mention he sings "Crazy Dave".
 * Imp, Backup Dancer, and Zombie Bobsled Team are the only zombies that depend on other zombies to be able to attack the plants.
 * However, in Bobsled Bonanza, ice is already on the lawn, so Zombie Bobsled Teams can attack.
 * Imp, Dr. Zomboss, Money Bag Zombie and Jack-in-the-Box Zombie are the only zombies to have a smile on their faces, albeit an evil one.
 * According to Imp's Suburban Almanac entry, Imp loves fighting, as well as playing a musical instrument, though he's not shown doing any of those things in-game.
 * No other plant or zombie plays an instrument (unless counting the Jack-in-the-box) or mentions playing an instrument in their Almanac entry.
 * In the Almanac, Imp is shown walking, instead of standing still.
 * The only other zombie that does not have a standing animation is the old Dancing Zombie.
 * If Imp gets hit by a melon or other Lobbed projectile, it will detonate over the Imp's head.
 * On the Plants vs. Zombies website, there is a picture of a Gargantuar with a naked Imp on his back.
 * In I, Zombie, a glitch may occur, causing the Imp to walk right through a ladder.
 * In I, Zombie, Imp (separated from Gargantuar) first appears in Three Hit Wonder.
 * Imp is the only zombie that has a burnt animation with one arm.
 * The player can unlock Imp's Almanac even if he or she kills the Gargantuars at level 5-8 without letting them throw their Imps.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies 2

 * Imp Mummy looks like a cat, similarly as how the Tomb Raiser Zombie acts like a dog. In Ancient Egypt, cats were worshipped and sometimes they were even mummified.
 * Imp Mummy's Almanac entry refers to a cat's habits, like scratching and coughing up hair balls.
 * If an Imp is hit by a butter that came from the Kernel-pult while in mid-air, the butter is not shown. Charring it with plants like Cherry Bomb while in mid-air will display its burning animation in the mid-air as well.
 * If the Imp Cannon is glowing with Plant Food, the Imps inside glow, but when fired onto the lawn they do not glow anymore.
 * This is probably so the player does not easily get large amounts of Plant Food.
 * The "time to steal some booty" is Imp Pirate Zombie's catchphrase refers to an attempt to steal a treasure.
 * If the Zombie Bull or Gargantuar is killed before throwing the Imp, it will simply drop onto the ground in the same position if an Imp was killed. Zapping the Zombie Bull on the other hand will unusually also make the Zombie Bull Rider disappear.
 * Similar to an Imp Cannon, Zombie Bull Rider turns green if the Zombie Bull is holding Plant Food.
 * There is a golden tooth on most of the Imp variations. Therefore, besides the Imp Pirate Zombie, the Imps are the only non-Pirate Seas zombies in the entire game with a gold tooth.
 * In very early versions before the 1.5 version, Zombie Bull Rider did not many any noises after they are launched off by a Zombie Bull.
 * Now, each Imp has four fingers, but still no visible thumbs.
 * Unlike in Plants vs. Zombies, Imps still appear on the charred Gargantuar when blown/electrocuted even if the Imp was already thrown.
 * Imp is one of six zombies to have a costume during the first Feastivus Event, the others are Swashbuckler Zombie, Poncho Zombie, Pianist Zombie, Camel Zombies, and Gargantuar.
 * After the first Feastivus Event, the basic trio also get costumes for the Feastivus events.
 * In this game, the Imp wears shoes, when in the first game he does not wear any footwear.
 * Imp Mermaid Zombie, Yeti Imp, and Jurassic Imp, however, don't have any footwear.
 * It is unknown if the Bug Bot Imp has any footwear, as that Imp variant is in a robot.
 * Any flying Imps can be killed using the Blover.
 * Imp Pirate Zombie is the only zombie known to live somewhere in the real world (London).
 * Imp Pirate Zombie and Barrel Roller Zombie are the only zombies in the Chinese version that appears not just in Pirate Seas but also in Wild West. However, Imp Pirate Zombie also appears in Kongfu World.
 * Jurassic Marsh in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 has the most Imp variants, having 4 (Jurassic Imp, Egg Pusher Imp, Eggshell Imp, Egg Stealer Imp). Kongfu World and Dark Ages are tied for second, having 3 each.
 * Imp Monk is the only Imp that is standing on one foot.
 * Before the second part of every world starting with Dark Ages were released, if the player scrolls to the right, there are Imps working on the second part of it. One is playing around with a wrench, and the other is eating a sandwich with a brain in it.
 * All of the Imps, with the exception of Imp Porter appear far into the player's defenses, somehow.
 * Imp Mummies and Basic Imps are thrown by Gargantuars.
 * Imp Pirate Zombies suddenly pop out of Barrel Zombie's barrels and are also shot out of Imp Cannons. They can also be launched from Gargantuar's and Gunpowder Devil's back and the Zombot Plank Walker's cannon attack.
 * The Zombie Bull Rider is launched from the Zombie Bull or thrown from Gargantuar's back.
 * Bug Bot Imps appear midway through the garden in Far Future ambushes. They can also be launched from Gargantuar Prime's back.
 * Dark Ages Imp Monks appear midway or close to the house in Dark Ages gravestones in the "Necromancy!" ambush. They are also launched from Dark Ages Gargantuar's back.
 * Kung Fu Monks are shot into the player's defenses.
 * Tiger Imps fly quickly above them, and then run very quickly to the player's plants. They are also the first interactive zombie introduced in the Chinese version, the second being Missile Zombie.
 * Leprechaun Imps appear from pots of gold that land on the lawn.
 * Imp Dragons appear in fireballs shot by Zombot Dark Dragon or appear on their own.
 * Imp Mermaid Zombies appear in an ambush called "Low Tide!" or appear on their own. They are also thrown by Deep Sea Gargantuars as well.
 * Yeti Imps can be thrown by Gargantuars, brought by snowstorms, be frozen in frozen blocks on the lawn, or appear on their own.
 * Every Imp variant after Yeti Imps except for Imp Porter appears on their own or are thrown by Gargantuars.
 * Out of all of the Imp variants, Imp Pirate Zombie appears through the most ways; it can be thrown from Pirate Gargantuar, be thrown from the Gunpowder Devil, appear out of Barrel Roller Zombie's barrels, can frequently appear out of Imp Cannons, and are fired out of the Zombot Plank Walker's cannon.
 * Imp Monk Zombies in Arthur's Challenge, Imp Mermaid Zombies, and Bug Bot Imp are the only zombies who are capable of using surprise attacks.
 * If an Imp Dragon Zombie is killed by Lightning Reed or Magnifying Grass's Plant Food, it will not get electrocuted; instead, its head disappears.
 * Dancing Zombie, Jack-in-the-Box Zombie, Pianist Zombie, Disco-tron 3000, Announcer Imp and Boombox Zombie are currently the only zombies that play music.
 * There is a Piñata Party called Imp Week dedicated to these zombies.
 * Zombie Bull Rider is the only Imp variant that does not have the word "Imp" in its name.
 * Currently, Imp Mermaid Zombie is the only Imp that is referred to as female.
 * Imp Dragon Zombie is the only zombie that can survive a special attack from a Zombot.
 * Imp, Imp Mummy, Bug Bot Imp, Yeti Imp, Imp Porter, and Impunk are the only Imps that do not have the word "Zombie" in their names.
 * Yeti Imp is the only zombie to be originally from Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. However, he has lost his freezing ability.
 * However, Super-Fan Imp could be debatable, as he is based off of the Imp Punt.
 * Sometimes, when a Gargantuar throws an Imp, Imp will fly in place or backward. This usually happens when a Gargantuar is close to player's house.
 * Zombie Bull Rider is the only current Imp that has a different animation when it is launched back by Spring Bean, Chard Guard, Power Toss, or Gargantuar.
 * Dark Ages has the most Imp variants in the game per world, with two Imps specifically for it.
 * Imp Dragon Zombies and Yeti Imps are the only imps that have an elemental resistance.
 * Yeti Imp and Impunk are currently the only Imps to look similar to another zombie in the game (Treasure Yeti and Punk Zombie respectively).
 * Despite being punk-based, Impunk is not affected in any specific way by the punk jam except for speed.
 * In the Travel Log, Impunk is called "Impunk Zombie".
 * In the Summer Nights trailer, Hot Dog Imp is performing a dance that appears to be "The Twist".
 * Impunk and Punk Zombie are the only zombies with mohawks.
 * According to the credits, the Imps along with the other variants are voiced by Allen Murray.
 * Imp Pirate Zombie and Hot Dog Imp are the only Imps from Plants vs. Zombies 2 to appear in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.
