Conehead Zombies and their world-themed variants are zombies with roadcones on their head for protection. While they are relatively easy to defeat, they are slightly more difficult to kill than both the Flag Zombie and the ordinary Zombie. They have somewhat normal health, but they can only be directly hurt once the roadcone on their head takes enough damage and falls off.

Overview

Normal Conehead Zombies first appear in Player's House - Day 3. They also have variants in each different area; Conehead Mummy in Ancient Egypt, Conehead Pirate in Pirate Seas, Conehead Cowboy in Wild West, Future Conehead Zombie in Far Future, Conehead Peasant in Dark Ages, Pompadour Conehead and Bikini Conehead in Big Wave Beach, Cave Conehead Zombie in Frostbite Caves, Conehead Adventurer Zombie in Lost City, Neon Conehead in Neon Mixtape Tour, Jurassic Conehead in Jurassic Marsh, Conehead Kongfu Zombie and Conehead Monk Zombie in Kongfu World, Conehead Pilot Zombie in Sky City, Conehead Labor Zombie in Steam Age, Conehead Aristocrat Zombie in Renaissance Age and Conehead Samurai Zombie in Heian Ages.

Conehead Zombies absorb 560 (440 in Sky City) damage, and their appearance changes upon getting 130, 260 and 370 damage when his roadcone is destroyed, and 465 damage before dying at 560 damage.

In the Chinese version, Conehead Zombies (with the exception of Roman Conehead) absorb 640 (440 in Sky City) damage, and their appearance changes upon getting 130, 260 and 370 (56, 113, 170 in Sky City) damage when his roadcone is destroyed, and 505 (305 in Sky City) before dying at 640 (440 in Sky City) damage.

Strategies

Even though he takes more hits than the regular Zombie, the zombie is not at all difficult to stop. A two Peashooters, or a Repeater can take him down easily. He is weak to almost all strategies, so your basic setup should take him out. However, do not underestimate him, as he can be a threat in the early levels and the beginning of the game where you do not have access to many powerful plants. A single Peashooter can be sufficient to kill one if the Conehead Zombie is far enough away, but two or three work better, especially if there are multiple zombies that need to be killed.
