Cryptozombologist
- For a similar achievement in Plants vs. Zombies 2, see Sasquashed!.
Cryptozombologist, known as Zombologist in newer versions, is an achievement earned by encountering the Zombie Yeti in Plants vs. Zombies. It is worth 25 points on Game Center.
Origins
The name "Cryptozombologist" is a portmanteau of "cryptozoologist", a person who studies the pseudoscience of animals whose present existence is disputed or unsubstantiated, and "zombie". This is due to the yeti being a cryptid, and the Zombie Yeti of course being a yeti in of itself.
The name "Zombologist" is a bit simpler, referring to the larger field of zoology. While it therefore doesn't refer to the fact that the Zombie Yeti is a yeti, it does remain a fitting name as the Zombie Yeti is the final zombie to be discovered in the Suburban Almanac. Therefore, the player is awarded as a "zombologist" for having discovered all the zombies.
Strategy
To find the Zombie Yeti, the player must reach Level 4-10 on their second Adventure Mode playthrough. The player will earn this achievement even if they do not kill it.
