Beach Flag Zombie

TOUGHNESS: Average
SPEED: Basic

Marks the arrival of a huge wet "wave" of zombies.

Talk about a disgruntled zombie. Beach Flag Zombie is fed up. None of the other zombies seem to appreciate just how difficult it is for him to swim while holding a flag. Not once have they thanked him for doing the hard work that needs to be done. So it shouldn't come as a surprise: He's been interviewing for jobs somewhere else.

Cave Flag Zombie

TOUGHNESS: Average

Marks the arrival of a huge frosty "wave" of zombies.

Cave Flag Zombie has been in the flag-carrying business for a long time. It's been his life's work. He's good at it. But sometimes, just sometimes, he longs for a change. He wonders if he could be good at something else. He wonders if he could leave it all behind and start fresh. He's pretty sure he's having a mid-life crisis.

In Ancient Rome, flags were often used on the battlefield to direct troop movements. Though come on: how much direction do you really need to shuffle leftward?

Encounters

Flag Zombies and their counterparts are typically in every level, the only exceptions usually being the fights against Dr. Zomboss' Zombots, Vasebreaker levels, or levels where Rally Zombie is present instead. Other levels Flag Zombies aren't in are -

Strategies

Like regular Zombies, a Flag Zombie can be easily killed by Peashooters and other offensive plants. They are only holding flags, which have no effect on their health. Flag Zombies move slightly faster than ordinary Zombies in the first game, so they may be able to get a slightly longer distance. Otherwise, they are just as good as normal Zombies. If it is one or more waves further into the game, be sure you have a good defense or else the zombies will overpower you. However, don't use a Jalapeno, Cherry Bomb or similar plants until more zombies have entered the screen, as they won't be as effective until tougher zombies have been deployed. Using the above will make a huge difference in large waves.

Balance changes

Update 6.3.1

  • ▼ Health decreased from 270 DPS to 190 DPS

Trivia

  • According to the almanac, his name is Brian, as the almanac states it is "a spelling impaired zombie named Brian."
    • "Brian" is an anagram of "Brain."
    • This is one of the only times a zombie was given an actual name.
  • Flag Zombie's flag is a lot bigger in this game.
    • He also moves at the same speed as a Basic Zombie.
  • The Flag Zombie is the only zombie with a human name, which is "Brian" and "Brain" is similar to "Brian".
  • Unlike the one-lane level of the original game (Level 1-1), a Flag Zombie will appear on the final wave of Player's House - Day 1.
  • The Halloween Flag Zombie resembles the Scarecrow from the movie "The Wizard of Oz", who, like the zombies, desired brains. His flag also features Pumpkin instead of a brain.
    • His flag pole is a bone instead of a wooden stick.
  • Each time-themed Flag Zombie follows the same sentence for each of them, only with the change of the adjective of the word "wave". The only exceptions are both Kongfu World's variations which are unique. Flags Pilot Zombie's entry is a slight variation, starting with 'Leads' instead of 'Marks'
  • Flag Mummy Zombie's Almanac entry says "Egyptian Flag Zombie" instead of "Flag Mummy Zombie".
  • The Flag Mummy Zombie says that he's living in "de-Nile". This is a pun of the Nile River, a river in Egypt, and the phrase "living in denial".
  • Sometimes when a Flag Pirate Zombie dies, he will stand up headless before he disappears.
  • The flag the Flag Cowboy Zombie has is the "Lone Star" flag of Texas, with the white star changed to a brain.
  • In the Cowboy Flag Zombie's Almanac entry it says "The Lone Brainer leads the way", which is a pun on The Lone Ranger.
  • Future Flag Zombie's flag is holographic and unlike the other flags, the holographic flag does not deteriorate. When the Future Flag Zombie dies, the flag simply disappears, leaving only the pole.
    • If the player looks closely, they can see through the holographic flag.
      • This effect also applies to the Infi-nut and the Dr. Zomboss hologram above in every Boss level.
        • Also the "brain" icon is blue, which is different than the other variants.
  • In the Almanac, Peasant Flag Zombie had a bone sticking out from its arm prior to the 2.5.1 update.
    • However, Flag Adventurer Zombie currently has a bone sticking out from his arm.
  • The Peasant Flag Zombie's flag is the only one to not be rectangular in shape.
  • Beach Flag Zombie is the first Flag Zombie to have a different look than that area's regular Zombie.
    • This may be due to the fact that Big Wave Beach introduces two types of regular zombies.
  • Flag Mummy Zombie and Beach Flag Zombie have a different animation style than that area's regular Zombie. Flag Mummy Zombie uses the animation style from the Cowboy Zombie, while Beach Flag Zombie uses the animation style from the Pirate Zombie.
  • The Pirate, Beach, Monk, and Kongfu variants are the only ones that don't hold their flag up when they die.
  • The Cave Flag Zombie holds a banner instead of an actual flag.
  • There is a glitch where Neon Flag Zombie in his Almanac entry doesn't have his flag. Flag Pilot Zombie also contains this glitch. This has been fixed in the 4.0.1 update.
  • Similar to Jurassic Zombie and his Conehead and Buckethead variants, Jurassic Flag Zombie has the "Hungry" speed.
  • Jurassic Flag Zombie is the only flag variant to not use a stick or rod as a handle for the flag, but he instead uses bones.
  • Roman Flag Zombie's flag design was based on a Roman flag which is used during Roman empire, but instead of "SPQR", it replaced with a brain instead.
    • The golden stick he holds as a handle for the flag has a Zombie Chicken on top, replacing golden falcon.
  • In Kongfu World, Flag Kongfu Zombies can appear anytime even if the huge wave has not yet arrived. This is because there might be a weapon stand that contains a flag that can transform a Kongfu Zombie into a Flag Kongfu Zombie. This can also happen to his Monk variant but the Monk variant can appear even if the wave has not been triggered.
  • Unlike its Kongfu counterpart, when a Monk Zombie transforms into a Flag Monk Zombie, it does not spawn other Monk Zombies.
  • Flag Monk Zombie can only appear via weapon stands.
  • Flag Pilot Zombie doesn't hold his flag due to his flamethrower, instead keeping it on his jetpack.
  • Flag Samurai Zombie often come in 2, due to an oversight.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies Online (China only) (Archived content)

  • The Sergeant variant is a zombie holding a token with a Chinese word written on it instead of a flag.
    • Because of this, it does not have the word "Flag" in its name.
    • However, even though Seahorse Zombie is still holding a flag, it also does not have the word "Flag" in its name.
