Imp Rancher

<tabber> 
Imp Rancher = 
Imp Rancher is a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2 encountered in High Noon Showdown and Harvest Festival Thymed Events. She carries a huge egg that hatches into Fowl Accident, who will lay eggs that spawn Zombie Chickens. 
She behaves similar to Egg Stealer Imp from Chinese Jurassic Marsh, as she drops the egg after walking few steps forward and the egg also can crush any plants occupied on any tile it lands on. However, unlike Egg Stealer Imp, she charges first before dropping her egg. The egg she drops will hatch into Fowl Accident immediately rather than becoming a grid item. 
==Origins==
Imp Rancher's design is based on Pitchfork Zombie from pre-2021 version of Plants vs. Zombies 3, with few notable differences.
==Almanac entry==
==Overview==
Imp Rancher absorbs 580dps, 390dps for the egg and 190dps for the Imp. The egg changes appearance after absorbing 189 damage per shot until it hatches into Fowl Accident at 580. Meanwhile, the Imp will lose her arm after absorbing 50 damage per shot, only then she dies upon absorbing 190.

Fowl Accident = 
Fowl Accident is a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2 encountered in High Noon Showdown and Harvest Festival Thymed Events. It's a stronger version of Zombie Chicken who hatched from an egg dropped by Imp Rancher and lays out eggs that hatches into Zombie Chickens. However, it only lays it once it stops after walking few steps forward. 
Unlike its weaker counterpart, it is immune to Primal Peashooter's knockback due to its large size, similar to Jurassic Bully and Jurassic Rockpuncher. Similarly, it is not immune to Primal Peashooter's stunning effect and all other plants that can knock zombies back such as Spring Bean and Chard Guard will work properly. 
==Origins==
Fowl Accident is directly based on a scrapped zombie with the same name and appearance from the pre-2021 version of Plants vs. Zombies 3.
==Almanac entry==
==Overview==
Fowl Accident absorbs 1570 damage per shot, and its appearance changes upon absorbing 475, 990, and 1304, until it dies after absorbing 1570 damage per shot.

==Strategies==
Both Imp Rancher and Fowl Accident are quite a challenge if they get too close to your house. The only easy way to defeat both of them are planting explosive plants in-front of them, playing Imp Rancher's burnt animation without letting Fowl Accident hatched out from that egg. Dartichoke might also be a good solution, as he can both prioritize Imp Rancher behind her egg and ignore Fowl Accident's health. 
Another thing to defeat both of these zombies is by using either Shrinking Violet or Enforce-mint to shrink both of them into the oblivion (this is not the case if the Fowl Accident hatched from the egg). Boingsetta does work on Fowl Accident only if it was hatched out from the egg Imp Rancher drops, not being carried around by her. It does count as a grid item in her code, and she will ignore its health and destroy it with no problem.
