Giga-Football Zombie is a Zombie encounterable in Plants vs. Zombies Social Edition, Plants vs. Zombies: Original Edition (exclusively in Creativity Mode) and the web version of the original Plants vs. Zombies game, appearing in the latter's Survival Mode and Vasebreaker mini-games only.

The Giga-Football Zombie is identical to the standard Football Zombie in ability, but it has a different appearance, wearing black armor and having spikes on his shoulder plates, and has the same health as a Gargantuar. In Plants vs. Zombies: Original Edition, he also has double the eat DPS.

In English: Giga-Football Zombie Giga-Football Zombie makes the big plays. Toughness: extremely high Speed: fast Weakness: magnet-shroom He dresses in a low-key and dim fashion; He is the leading person of the field of zombie football, delivering both offensively and defensively even better. Yet he also has no idea what a football is.

Overview

The Giga-Football Zombie absorbs 3000 damage and its appearance changes upon absorbing 940, 1880, 2800 damage (by this point, the black football helmet is destroyed) before dying at 3000 damage taken. It does not lose its arm until it dies.

Like the Football Zombie, Magnet-shroom is able to remove his helmet to decrease the amount of damage needed to defeat him, though this is only possible in Plants vs. Zombies Social Edition and Plants vs. Zombies: Original Edition.

Strategies

You should do what you might do to kill a Gargantuar to kill it. It is harder to kill it than a Gargantuar since most of the powerful plants do not appear in that version, and it has very high speed. In Survival: Endless, it is even harder to kill them because you can only choose four plants against it.

A good choice against him would be the Chomper, as Giga-Football Zombie is still small enough to be devoured in one gulp. Wall-nuts would be okay, but they would probably be eaten by the time the Giga-Football Zombie dies, so if you want to use them, you should be sure to plant them close to the right of the screen. Using a Squash on them will deal high damage, though it cannot kill them at full health.

Trivia

See Football Zombie for more trivia.

• It is one of five zombies that can absorb more than one instant-kill before dying, with the others being Gargantuar, Giga-gargantuar, Tall-nut Zombie, and Dr. Zomboss.
• It takes up five Wall-nuts or two Explode-o-nuts before dying in Wall-nut Bowling.
• It does not lose its arms before it dies, unlike its original counterpart.
• It is one of three zombies to have face paint, the others being Football Zombie and Gatling Pea Zombie.
• It is the third strongest zombie in the game, only seconded by Giga-gargantuar and Dr. Zomboss.
• When moving the mouse over the Giga-Football Zombie, (on the seed selection part of the level) it says Football Zombie.
  • This is likely because the normal Football Zombie does not appear in the online version.
• When hit by a Squash, it does not degrade as it is supposed to.
• It is seen with its official name "Giga-Football Zombie" in the Plants vs. Zombies: Official Guide to Protecting Your Brains book.
• In the seed selection screen, it is mistakenly animated with its final degrade mouth gear behind its non-degraded one.
• Despite having the health of a Gargantuar, it can be killed instantly by using a Chomper (when not eating).
• In Plants vs. Zombies Social Edition he appears to not have any spikes on his right shoulder pad.
  • This is most likely because this Giga Football Zombie is simply a recolor of the normal Football Zombie in Social Edition.
  • Giga-Football Zombie also appears to have darker decals on his uniform and grey socks in comparison to his online version appearance.
• His Plants vs. Zombies: Original Edition appearance has different eyes from the original, looking far angrier and redder, resembling those of a Giga-gargantuar.
