Overview

The Zombot Catastro-liope approximately absorbs 22000 damage per shot, and its appearance changes upon absorbing 5500 and 11000 damage per shot, before dying at 22000 damage per shot.

Attacks

The Zombot Catastro-liope randomly performs one of the following actions:

• It will summon zombies:

Phase	HP	Summoned zombies	Carnie Imps shot
1	5500		3
2	8000	(summons ) (summons )	6
3	11000	(summons ) (summons (summons )) (summons )	8

Arena and Penny's Pursuit

Phase	HP	Summoned zombies	Carnie Imps shot
Depends on damage	Infinite dps	(summons ) (summons (summons )) (summons )	3-8

• The "eye" will open and reveal a cannon. It will then fire three to eight Carnie Imps into the third or fourth column, resembling the Imp Cannon's explosion. Using Plant Food on most plants can prevent it.
• It will tap the ground, step back, and charge, destroying any plants and zombies in two rows, stopping near the lawn mowers and jumping back. As with the Zombot Sphinx-inator, Zombot Plank Walker, Zombot War Wagon and Zombot Tomorrow-tron's similar attack, using Plant Food can prevent it. It will also stop and be stunned if it collides with an instant-use plant.

Trivia

• It is the first spider-like Zombot since Zombot Tomorrow-tron, which was released 7 and a half years prior to Zombot Catastro-liope as well as the first new Zombot to be released since Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur, which was also released 7 years prior.
  • However, in terms of attack, it bears more similarity to Zombot Plank Walker and in terms of appearance has more similarity to Zombot War Wagon.
  • The way it enters the lawn is exactly the same as Zombot War Wagon.
• It and Zombot Multi-stage Masher are the only Zombots that do not use any of the generic Zomboss themes.
  • It is also the only Zombot to be event-exclusive and not belong to any specific world.
• Due to a rare oversight, its almanac description is in red text instead of brown.
  • This has been fixed in the 9.5.1 update.
• This is the first Zombot in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that can't be battled in Adventure Mode.
• Unlike the other Zombots, Zomboss only makes sound effects while charging. Otherwise, he is completely silent.
• Due to Thymed Event levels using their own outro, the Catastro-liope's exit animation goes completely unused.
