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.

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

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.

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
