Newspaper Zombie (Spawnable)


 * Hmb.png the version in other games, see Newspaper Zombie.

The Newspaper Zombie is a zombie found in Gardens & Graveyards and Garden Ops in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. It attacks plants by hitting them with its newspaper. It uses its newspaper as a shield, but it is easy to destroy. Like the Screen Door Zombie, it can be attacked from behind, receiving full damage. When swallowed from behind by a Chomper, the newspaper disappears and has as much health as a Browncoat Zombie.

Description
Uses his newspaper as a shield to absorb incoming fire.

Trivia

 * Screen Door Zombie, Newspaper Zombie and Flag Zombie are the only zombies to attack plants with their held item.
 * It may appear that he still attempts to attack plants with the newspaper even when it is destroyed.
 * Unlike in Plants vs. Zombies, it does not get a speed boost after the newspaper is destroyed.
 * If it stands still for enough time (and it has its newspaper), it will play an animation where the newspaper starts blowing away in the air, and the Newspaper Zombie starts jumping to grab it and then grabs it.
 * There is a pirate version of this zombie which can only be spawned in Gardens & Graveyards and Garden Ops Port Scallywag and Sharkbite Shores, which is the Map Pirate.
