History
Plants vs. Zombies
- Main article: Balloon Zombie (PvZ)
In the original Plants vs. Zombies game, as well as all Chinese spin-off games based on it, Balloon Zombie is the second zombie encountered in the Fog, first encountered in Level 4-3. Balloon Zombie floats with a balloon, hovering over both plants and projectiles, but the balloon can be popped with a spike, fired by Cactus and Cattail.
Along with this, Balloon Zombie can also be killed by an explosive plant (except for Potato Mine) or blown away by Blover. When landed, Balloon Zombie has about as much health as an average Zombie, though will instead instantly die if the balloon is popped over water.
Balloon Zombie costs 150 sun to use in I, Zombie, but does not appear in Versus Mode.
In Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition, he was renamed and appeared as the Kongming Lantern Zombie.
Plants vs. Zombies 2
- Main article: Balloon Zombie (PvZ2)
Balloon Zombie returns in Plants vs. Zombies 2, originally first appearing in Modern Day, a weaker version is now first encountered at the Player's House. Unlike the first game, Balloon Zombie can now be attacked by projectiles.
Like the first game however, he can be blown away by Blover, as well as Hurrikale and Draftodil who has a similar blowing effect. He can normally absorb 900 damage, the balloon popping at 650 but the weaker version encountered in Player's House - Day 3 and Player's House - Day 4 can only absorb 500 damage, with the balloon popping at 350 before dying.
Plants vs. Zombies 3
- Main article: Balloon Zombie (PvZ3)
The latest appearance of Balloon Zombie is in Plants vs. Zombies 3 as a Flying threat and mix between his previous two appearances. Like Plants vs. Zombies 2, he can be damaged while flying but like Plants vs. Zombies, only certain plants can do so, such as Lobber plants and Lightning Reed.
Balloon Zombie is first encountered on the third floor of the Devour Tower and serves as a tutorial for both Lobber plants and buying seed packets, as the player has no means of countering him at first.
