Zombies (PvZ: Roots)

This page is for the almanac entries for all of the zombies encountered in Plants vs. Zombies: Roots. Whilst they are the main antagonist of a majority of the game, trying to eat the player's brains while defeating the plants, players can still play as them during the I, Zombie game modes and control them to eat the cardboard plants and beat those levels.

Image	Name 	Description 	Health 	Speed 	Level Encountered	Almanac Entry
 	Basic Zombie 	Regular garden-variety zombie 	Average 	Basic 	Day 1 	This zombie loves brains. Can't get enough. Brains, brains, brains, day in and night out. Old and stinky brains? Rotten brains? Brains clearly past their prime? Doesn't matter. Basic zombie wants 'em.
 	Flag Zombie 	His flag marks the arrival of a huge wave of zombies 	Average 	Hungry 	Day 2 	Make no mistake, Flag Zombie loves brains but somewhere down the line he also picked up a fascination with flags. Maybe it's because the flags always have brains on them. Hard to say.
 	Conehead Zombie 	His roadcone makes him twice as tough as normal zombies 	Reinforced	Basic 	Day 3 	Conehead Zombie shuffled mindlessly forward like every other zombie. But something made him stop, made him pick up a traffic cone and stick it on his head. Oh yeah. He likes to party.
 	Pole Vaulting Zombie	Vaults over the first plant he reaches 	Reinforced	Jumpy, then Basic	Day 6 	Some zombies take it further, aspire more, push themselves beyond the normal into greatness. That's Pole Vaulting Zombie right there. That is so him.
 	Buckethead Zombie 	Wears a metal bucket on his head which makes him a lot stronger than most zombies	Protected 	Basic 	Day 8 	There was a time when Buckethead Zombie was hailed as a zombie genius for his innovative bucket-on-head strategy. It's been a few years, though, and zombies wonder if he's got any surprises left. His secret? He doesn't.
 	Screen Door Zombie 	Carries a screen door shield that blocks attacks from the front 	Protected 	Basic 	Day 11 	He got his screen door from the last inexpertly defended home he visited, after he ATE THE HOMEOWNER'S BRAINS.
 	Shovel Zombie 	Digs up a plant and throws it behind him 	Reinforced	Basic 	Day 14 	Gardening? From a zombie? Most zombies just laughed at him for carrying gardening equipment with him, and then they saw him do his thing and realised how much cooler he was then them.
 	Pigeon Feeder Zombie	Throws breadcrumbs to call in hungry pigeons 	Solid 	Stiff 	Day 16 	Pigeon Feeder is lonely. It really doesn't help that these darn pigeons keep trying to eat his only friend: Bready O'Loafofbread. But maybe the pigeons are lonely too, so he tosses bits of Bready around. No one should be lonely.
 	Zombie Pigeon 	Flies in for the breadcrumbs, stays to swarm your plants 	Weak 	Crazy 	Day 16 	Once upon a time, zombies used Zombie Pigeons to deliver zombie notes to humans. Sadly, the Zombie Pigeons would just go for the brainz and use the notes as napkins. So now zombies just use z-mail.
 	Dog Walker Zombie 	Walks a dog a space in front of him, the dog eats multiple plants at once 	Solid 	Basic 	Day 18 	The dog is also a zombie.
== Nighttime ==
Image	Name 	Description 	Health 	Speed 	Level Encountered	Almanac Entry
 	Newspaper Zombie 	Newspaper protects zombie, who is then enraged when it is destroyed 	Solid 	Basic, then Jumpy 	Night 1 	Newspaper Zombie was *this* close to finishing his Sudoku puzzle. No wonder he's freaking out.
 	Power Walker Zombie	Walks quite fast, and presumably with power 	Solid 	Hungry 	Night 3 	Moving at the speed of a turtle riding a skateboard, Power Walker aims to be first in line at the Ol' Country Brainz Buffet, which is what she calls houses.
 	Trash Can Zombie 	A can of trash makes him slower but stronger 	Reinforced	Stiff, then Basic 	Night 6 	Sadly the Trash Can Zombie isn't here to pick up litter, or offer helpful tips on how to recycle your vegetable peelings or glass. If you've been closely studying this book, you will have realized by now that this zombie wants to eat your brains. He just uses the trash can to protect himself, not tidy up. What a shame.
 	Gravedigger Zombie 	Digs up gravestones with a shovel, summoning more obstacles! 	Solid 	Basic 	Night 8 	Since he plants things in dirt and watches them rise, Gravedigger is the closest thing to a gardener in the zombie world. Other zombies find that a little creepy. That's why he doesn't get invited to many rise-from-the-graveday parties.
 	Landscaper Zombie 	Uses his weed whacker to destroy up to three plants before it breaks	Solid 	Hungry 	Night 11 	If barren rock and wilted Plants are what you want, he's the landscaper for the job.
 	Outhouse Zombie 	Outhouse is very durable, but makes the zombie inside very slow 	Protected 	Stiff, then Speedy	Night 14 	Outhouse Zombie loves brainz, but they don't love him. So, he's invading lawns fully prepared for an upset tummy.
 	Disco Zombie 	Summons backup with the power of music 	Reinforced	Stiff 	Night 16 	Dancing Zombie's latest album, "GrarrBRAINSarblarbl," is already rocketing up the undead charts.
 	Backup Dancer 	Appears in sets of four whenever Disco Zombie rocks out 	Average 	Stiff 	Night 16 	Backup Dancer Zombie spent six years perfecting his art at the Chewliard Performing Arts School in Zombie New York City.
 	Football Zombie 	Makes the big plays by running across your lawn 	Dense 	Speedy 	Night 18 	Football Zombie gives 110 percent whenever he's on the field. He's a team player who delivers both offensively and defensively. He has no idea what a football is.
