New zombies

Rally Zombie

Upgraded version of Basic Flag Zombie.
Internal name: tutorial_flag_veteran
Eating speed: 3x faster than a Basic Flag Zombie (eats a Peashooter in a second) Toughness: Protected (16.75 NDS)
Speed: Speedy (Fast as Bug Zombie or Balloon Zombie)

Almanac entry

Rally Zombie

Rally Zombie and his flag marks the arrival of a large clot or "pile" of zombies.

Toughness: Protected
Speed: Speedy

Rally Zombie splurged on the all-leather flag because, heck, he's worth it.

Brickhead Zombie

Internal name: tutorial_armor4
Toughness: Machined (120 NDS, 110 NDS for headwear, 10 NDS for the zombie)
Speed: Basic (Fast as an average zombie)

Almanac entry

Brickhead Zombie

Brickhead Zombie's brick head provides thorough brickheaded brickheadness.

Toughness: Machined
Speed: Basic

After consultation with various storybook wolves, it was determined that straw helmets and wood helmets were not up to snuff, and that brick helmets had to be seriously considered.

Egypt Rally Zombie

Upgraded version of Flag Mummy Zombie.
Internal name: egypt_flag_veteran
Toughness: Protected (16.75 NDS)
Eating speed: 2.7x faster than a normal Flag Mummy Zombie (eats a Peashooter in merely a second) Speed: Speedy (Fast as Bug Zombie or Balloon Zombie)

Almanac entry

Egypt Rally Zombie

He celebrates with increased vigor and truculence the arrival of a new wave of bandaged baddies.

Toughness: Protected
Speed: Speedy

Sometimes, a regular Flag Mummy Zombie simply isn't enough to inspire the desired amount of terror and disgust. In these instances, upgrading to the Egypt Rally Zombie isn't the sensible choice, it's the only choice.

Pyramid-Head Zombie

Internal name: mummy_armor4
Toughness: Machined (120 NDS, 110 NDS for headwear, 10 NDS for the zombie)
Speed: Basic (Fast as an average zombie)

Almanac entry

Pyramid-Head Zombie

His pyramid-shaped headgear provides triangular noggin protection.

Toughness: Machined
Speed: Basic

Pyramid-Head Zombie isn't aware that his pyramid is pyramid-shaped. He's a little slow in that respect.

Torchlight Zombie

Internal name: explorer_veteran
Toughness: Protected (22 NDS)
Eating speed: 1.5x faster than a normal Explorer (for eating Infi-Nut's PF shield)
Speed: Flighty (Fast as a flying Pterodactyl)

Almanac entry

Torchlight Zombie

Carries a torch that instantly destroys plants and scorches the earth.

Toughness: Protected
Speed: Flighty

Torchlight Zombie has no fear of the dark. That's not because he's always got a torch, however, but rather because as a zombie he has no capacity for fear in the first place.
NOTE: No references to "scorching the earth" are found in the coding.

Sunday Edition Zombie

Internal name: newspaper_veteran
Toughness: Machined (113.5 NDS, 90 for the newspaper, 23.5 for the zombie)
Eating speed: 1.5x faster than a normal Newspaper (eats a Peashooter in a second)
Speed: Hungry (Fast as a normal Newspaper)
Enraged speed: 4x faster (Fast as a normal Newspaper)
Enraged eating speed: 5x faster (0.8x faster than a normal Newspaper)

Almanac entry

Sunday Edition Zombie

The newspaper protects zombie, who becomes enraged when it is destroyed.

Toughness: Machined
Speed: Hungry

Sunday Edition Zombie REALLY loves the comics section, which is why his rage is so all-consuming when it is torn to tatters before he's finished reading it.

New plants

Hot Date

Internal name: hotdate
Sun cost: 150
Toughness: Elevated (80 bites, 40 seconds to eat one Hot Date)

  • Can defrost surrounding plants

Almanac entry

Hot Date

Hot Dates attract zombies from lanes above and below them, and then unleash a lane of flame when they're eaten.

Special: Warms nearby plants
Toughness: Elevated
Recharge: Sluggish

Hot Date's a charmer. He's polite, well-read, has lots of interesting opinions, and practices active listening. Zombies line up around the block to be incinerated by him.

Caulipower

Internal name: caulipower
Sun cost: 150
Toughness: 6 bites
Recharge: Sluggish (45 seconds)
Plant group: Ground plants (cannot be planted on planks)

INFO:

  • Hypnotises zombies on every shot
  • Can be planted on water
  • Appears to be Electric Blueberry but instead of destroying zombies, it hypnotises them.
  • Plant Food effect appears to push back zombies

Almanac entry

Caulipower

Caulipowers use their mental powers to hypnotize random zombies and turn them against their former friends.

Special: Hovers above ground or water
Area: Full Board
Recharge: Sluggish

Caulipower's eyes spin with distress. He's just thought of a really great ending for his novel, but he's afraid his cousin won't understand it.
