Flag Zombie

The Flag Zombie is the second zombie encountered in the game. It announces the start of a huge wave of zombies. It is no different from a normal Zombie, although it does move slightly faster. Its also the same hits as the regular zombie. It is sometimes referred to a leader of the huge waves.

Overview
Absorbs 10 normal damage shots. Appearance changes upon absorption of 5 normal damage shots.

Strategy
Just like regular Zombies, Flag Zombies can be easily killed by Peashooters and other offensive plants. They are only holding the flags, so there is no effect on its health. Flag Zombies do move faster than ordinary Zombies, so they may be able to get farther, so two or three Peashooters work better than one. In Versus Mode, Flag Zombies cost 300 Brainpower, but when placed, begin the message "A Huge Wave of Zombies is Approching!", meaning, full scale attack on the enemy, but smaller than the adventure mode wave. This can be very strategic at the beginning of a match by quickly collecting 300 brainpower and rushing it against your enemy, it could also help to support your forces with additional zombies if your rival already has strong defences, this will put a lot of pressure on them too.
