Armor

Armor are items that zombies use to mainly protect themselves with, the aim being to survive for longer periods, although they can also bypass your defenses, shoot and damage your plants, float in the pool, etc.

Headwear
Zombies wear headwear on their heads to survive for longer periods of time so that they can get closer to your house.

A few examples include:
 * Digging Helmets
 * Road Cones
 * Buckets
 * Football Helmets
 * Black Football Helmets
 * Black Football Helmets are worn by the Giga Football Zombie.

Shields
Zombies carry shields in front of them to withstand pea-based damage, including fire peas and frozen peas. Shields are completely powerless against fumes, spikeweed/rock and catapult plants. Newspapers, being non-metallic, allow the splash effect of Flaming Peas to occur. The Backup Dancers count as a sheild too, since the Dancing Zombie summons them to withstand itself from damages.

Shields include:
 * Newspapers
 * Trash Cans
 * Screen Doors
 * Ladders
 * Backup Dancers

Vaulting abilities
Certain zombies use vaulting items for the purpose of jumping over plants, as well as making them faster than normal zombies. However, they tend to slow down after losing their vaulting item.

Vaulting items are:
 * Poles
 * Dolphins
 * Pogo Sticks

Vehicles
Zombies ride on vehicles with the goal being to try to get as close to your house as they can while taking as little damage as possible. If the vehicle is destroyed, the zombie(s) within are also killed. Zombonis and Catapult Zombies can be instantly destroyed by Spikeweeds or Spikerocks.

Vehicles are:
 * Catapult MachinesVehicles.png
 * Ice Resurfacers
 * Bobsleds
 * Zombot

Weapons
Weapons are used to attack the player's Plants.

Weapons include:


 * Catapults
 * Jack-in-the-Boxes
 * Clubs:
 * Zombies
 * Wildlife Crossing Signs
 * Telephone Poles
