Flying Imp (pvzc)

Flying Imp is a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies: Collide. He flies past plants to grab the star then fly back to the other side of the lawn. If not killed in time then the player would lose a star for the level.
== Origins ==
Flying Imp is based on the zombie of the same name in appearance in the Chinese spinoff Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition 
Flying Imp functioned the exact same where he flew across the lawn to steal a star.
== About ==
The Flying Imp only appears once per level (with some exceptions such as zombot levels and some Suburbia levels) he generally had extremely high toughness (3,600). He slowly flies to the back of the lawn and grabs the star and makes his way back through the original route. His toughness varies. In conveyor belt levels, Flying Imp has less health only requiring 0-2 instants.

It's always been a mystery how flying imp is so heavy or why he tanks so much damage. It is unknown why he likes to steal stars so much. Could it be linked to his overwhelming density? The truth is, he doesn't know either, he just is.
== Strategies ==
As Flying Imp flies over plants he does not eat. Blocking plants such as Wall-Nut or effect causing plants such as Shadow Shroom do not work and he cannot be targeted by Squash or Chomper. Heroes such as Chompzilla and Solar Flare are not reccomended to be used to fight him. However all heroes can instantly destroy him when fully upgraded. Green Shadow’s snow-pea vision and slowing/freezing plants are recommended to lock Flying Imp in place or slow him down enough so other plants can defeat him. 
A fully upgraded Fume Shrooms, Scaredy Shrooms and Snapdragons will work well as he can pierce zombies. Blastberry can poison Flying Imp. Elements recommended to be used are shadow, water or sometimes fire.
