Category:General zombies

General zombies are a type of zombie that have massive amounts of health, immunity to most negative effects and, for the most part, cannot directly cause a loss. Defeating a general zombie grants a massive amount of points in Arena levels. Generals normally act the role of a "mini-boss", with there never usually being more than a single one on the lawn per level.

General zombies can be split into two categories, "Support" generals and "Pressure" generals.

Support generals have 3 phases, each one stronger than the last. They will stay on the lawn for a limited time and use their set of abilities to support zombies on the field. Any plants or friendly zombies that come in contact with these zombies will be instantly crushed. With the exception of Mirror Queen, all zombies in this category spawn a set amount of time after the level begins at exclusively lane 3, with there also being a delay between when their next phase appears.

Pressure generals are much more offensive, never leaving the lawn, only having 1 or 2 phases and not restricting themselves to staying in place. Unlike support generals, zombies in this category almost always spawn naturally, otherwise they act mostly the same.

In the chinese version, all generals except Roman Caesar Zombie and Elite Ice Weasel also have a visible health bar.
