History
Plants vs. Zombies
- Main article: Dr. Zomboss (PvZ)
In the original Plants vs. Zombies, as well as Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West, Dr. Zomboss is the final boss that player faces. Controlling his Zombot, the player faces him in level 5-10.
Dr. Zomboss will create either a fireball or an ice ball to crush the plants. He can also crush an area of plants by throwing a van and remove the plants by summoning 3 Bungee Zombies. When defeated, his robot is destroyed and the player will have officially beaten Adventure Mode.
In the Chinese spinoff game Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition, Dr. Zomboss is replaced with Emperor Zombot. However, despite the large visual differences along with the lack of a pilot, Emperor Zombot functions exactly like Dr. Zomboss himself, apart from the fact he can appear in the game's unique version of Survival: Endless.
Plants vs. Zombies 2
