Newspaper Zombie



The Newspaper Zombie is a low-health zombie reading a newspaper, which appears to be an old man with glasses and heart-patterned boxers. When your plants destroy the newspaper, it pauses and then quickly charges forward at your plants in a rage. The newspaper takes 8 normal damage points to destroy, and the zombie takes 10.

Suburban Almanac Entry
 Newspaper Zombie  His newspaper provides limited defense. Toughness: low. Newspaper Toughness: low. Speed: normal, then fast (after losing newspaper). Newspaper Zombie was *this* close to finishing his Sudoku puzzle. No wonder he's freaking out.

Strategy
The newspaper is useless against the lobbed-shot plants, instants, the Fume-shroom, and the Gloom-shroom. In Wall-nut Bowling and Wall-nut Bowling 2, the zombie loses the newspaper after being hit by one Wall-nut, and dies after a second hit. The zombie pauses and charges very quickly towards the end of the row after your plants destroy the newspaper, so you will need to be fast in order to kill it.

Trivia
and even Ladder Zombie's
 * When an enraged Newspaper Zombie bites a Garlic, it will, like some zombies, look and sound disgusted and move on to the next lane. While it does this, its eyes turn back to white.
 * A hypnotized Newspaper Zombie will die easily when it encounters other zombies, as the newspaper oddly cannot protect it.The same applies toScreen Door Zombie's
