Conehead Zombie (Plants vs. Zombies 2)

For other uses, see Conehead Zombie (disambiguation).

Conehead Zombies and their world-themed variants are zombies with roadcones on their head for protection. While they are relatively easy to defeat, they are slightly more difficult to kill than both the Flag Zombie and the ordinary Zombie. They have somewhat normal health, but they can only be directly hurt once the roadcone on their head takes enough damage and falls off.

Overview

Normal Conehead Zombies first appear in Player's House - Day 3. They also have variants in each different area; Conehead Mummy in Ancient Egypt, Conehead Pirate in Pirate Seas, Conehead Cowboy in Wild West, Future Conehead Zombie in Far Future, Conehead Peasant in Dark Ages, Pompadour Conehead and Bikini Conehead in Big Wave Beach, Cave Conehead Zombie in Frostbite Caves, Conehead Adventurer Zombie in Lost City, Neon Conehead in Neon Mixtape Tour, Jurassic Conehead in Jurassic Marsh, Conehead Kongfu Zombie and Conehead Monk Zombie in Kongfu World, Conehead Pilot Zombie in Sky City, Conehead Labor Zombie in Steam Age, Conehead Aristocrat Zombie in Renaissance Age and Conehead Samurai Zombie in Heian Age.

Conehead Zombies absorb 560 (440 in Sky City) damage, and their appearance changes upon getting 130, 260 and 370 damage when his roadcone is destroyed, and 465 damage before dying at 560 damage.

In the Chinese version, Conehead Zombies (with the exception of Roman Conehead) absorb 640 (440 in Sky City) damage, and their appearance changes upon getting 130, 260 and 370 (56, 113, 170 in Sky City) damage when his roadcone is destroyed, and 505 (305 in Sky City) before dying at 640 (440 in Sky City) damage.

Conehead Pirate
	TOUGHNESS Protected SPEED Basic His Jolly Roger cone makes him twice as tough as normal pirates. Conehead Pirate is a simple zombie. When asked what his favorite dish is, he'd think for a moment, straighten his ascot, and say, "Rrurrarrbrains." Perhaps he could borrow a cup, neighbor?

Roman Conehead
	TOUGHNESS Protected SPEED Basic A traffic cone made of marble provides some protection. Was there enough traffic in Ancient Rome to justify cones? Historians differ. It's a real debate.

Strategies

Even though he takes more hits than the regular Zombie, the zombie is not at all difficult to stop. A two Peashooters, or a Repeater can take him down easily. He is weak to almost all strategies, so your basic setup should take him out. However, do not underestimate him, as he can be a threat in the early levels and the beginning of the game where you do not have access to many powerful plants. A single Peashooter can be sufficient to kill one if the Conehead Zombie is far enough away, but two or three work better, especially if there are multiple zombies that need to be killed.

Trivia

• In the Almanac, prior to the 2.5.1 update, the Conehead Peasant had a bone sticking out of his arm.
  • However, this also currently happens with the Conehead Adventurer Zombie.
• Neon Conehead is called "Neon Conehead Zombie" in his Almanac. This is in contrast to most other Conehead variations in the game, where their Almanac entries usually leave out the "zombie" in their name, with the exception of some zombies such as the Future or Adventurer zombies.
• "Dr. Unlivingstone" in Conehead Adventurer Zombie's almanac entry is based on Dr. Livingstone.
• All of the Conehead's internal names end with the suffix _armor1.
• Carnie Conehead has a small hat under his cone, however unlike the cone it provides no extra defense.

Specific to the Chinese Version (China only)

• The Conehead Aristocrat Zombie has a fleur-de-lis on its cone. The fleur-de-lis was a symbol of the French monarchy, which was one of the main actors of the Renaissance, along with Italy.
• The phrase "Kung Hei Fat Choi" mentioned in New Year Conehead Zombie's almanac entry is a generic blessing said around the Chinese New Year.
