Its description makes a reference to how Copter Commando does not have the Amphibious trait despite being a helicopter that can fly over water, as Aquaphobia is a type of phobia that involves persistent and abnormal fear of water.

Strategies
With
This zombie is very powerful, with 6/5, and can be played in the Zombie Tricks phase normally via Hail-a-Copter. That way, you can choose which lane you want to play it in without worrying about what your opponent can do for that turn. Although if you have this card in your hand, this is treated as a zombie with no abilities but with above stats for its cost.
This zombie is really powerful due to being normally played in the Zombie Tricks phase, and you have to be careful when your opponent saves more than 5 in the Zombies Play phase. Cards like Template:PvZHLink and Sizzle can destroy it easily. You can also Bounce this zombie, so whenever your opponent wants to play this card again, they will be forced to play it in the Zombies Play phase, where he is more susceptible. If you can predict Hail-a-Copter being played, use Brainana, Dark Matter Dragonfruit, or even Forget-Me-Nuts to prevent it from being played. You can also use Shamrocket to destroy this zombie instantly. If you choose to use damaging plants alone, destroy any Toxic Waste Imps before you try.

When it is hurt or destroyed, the word "Achtung" is shown on the windscreen, which means "Danger" in German. This appears no matter what language the player is playing this game as.
Also, when it is destroyed, the Imp says "Uh oh" before the helicopter explodes.
It is the first Imp zombie in the Brainy class, the second being Leprechaun Imp.
