Zombies are reanimated, mindless, decaying corpses with a hunger for human brains. They are the main antagonists of Plants vs. Zombies: Social Edition, as the objective of the game is to prevent them from eating the player's brains. Zombies, like their defensive counterparts the plants, are varied in strength as well as speed, and command unique aspects which must be countered appropriately.

Trivia

The zombies' burnt animation

• Imps in I, Zombie are the weakest zombies in the entire game, taking 48 damage.
• There are also Ducky Tube Zombie versions of Flag Zombie, Conehead Zombie, and Buckethead Zombie.
• Zombies' surprise attacks appear in Night, Pool, and Fog levels. In the first, they come out of the graves; in the next two, water in the right four columns of the pool, covered in seaweed, and are functionally the same as Ducky Tube Zombies. In roof levels, they are dropped by Bungee Zombies onto the slope of the roof, and appear and function the same way as normal, Conehead, or Buckethead Zombie. In all four cases, with the notable exception of Whack a Zombie (and Level 2-5) and Level 5-5 (includes Grave Danger if including Limbo Page games), they appear only at the end, during the last flag in a level, including every other wave in Survival: Endless. Zombies popping out of graves can be stopped by planting a Grave Buster on the grave, making the grave disappear. Ambush zombies popping out of the pool can be prevented by planting or waking up an Ice-shroom so it explodes after the huge wave of zombies starts to appear on the right of the screen, but before the ambush zombies appear.
• The only zombies encountered in the gameplay that do not have the word "zombie" as the last word in their name are Gargantuar, Giga-gargantuar, Imp, and Rabbit Imp.
• Gargantuars and Imps have different heads than a normal zombie.
• Zombies can fully eat non-defensive plants in approximately three seconds.
• When the player kills the last zombie in a level, only the head will be shown falling down, while the body disappears.
• Hypnotized zombies turn around and have their entire body mirrored.
• None of the zombies, aside from the regular zombies and their headwear variants, follow the standard zombie type.
• Gargantuar and Imp zombies are the only zombies who have their own burning animations.
• When the player kills a zombie without an instant kill and detonates an explosive plant right next to it, its headless body will be burnt and disappear without any animation.
