==Strategies==
Tricky Lantern Zombie is a tanky threat with an interesting ability. While his health and speed are both remarkable, his ability of leaving a lantern stand out, as it can be either helpful or hindering towards the player. If the lantern is destroyed fast enough, it will spawn a Peashooter, which is nice value and can be even better if it has been upgraded enough. However, if the lantern is left ignored, it will be destroyed on its own and spawn 3 Imps, and while these aren't much of a threat, they can still block a few projectiles and approach to your house at quite a fast speed.
Your best option is to stall him using a so he never reaches the 4th tile, you could also use huge firepower from plants like or Peashooter's ability to get rid of him before he causes meaningful impact. 
Two interesting counters to his ability are and , as Tricky Lantern Zombie will not leave the lantern if there is any of these two plants covering the tile, so he will just move on. Their Plant Food abilities can also make him bypass the 4th tile if they are placed to the right, however, this might be a risky strategy as it makes zombies get closer to your house and defenses.

|-|Gift Imp=
Gift Imp (礼物小鬼, pinyin: Lǐwù xiǎoguǐ) was a that appeared from Tricky Lantern Zombie's lantern. He only spawned if 10 seconds had passed and the latern had not been destroyed, and 3 were summoned in that lane and the adjacent ones. 
==Origins==
He is based on the Chinese New Year tradition of lighting up lanterns and putting riddles in them, then giving them to other people so they can answer them, and if they got the answer right, they would get a small reward.
==Almanac entry==
==Overview==
Gift Imp is a zombie that can only be seen if it was created from Tricky Lantern Zombie's lantern if this one was not destroyed within 10 seconds. He has the same toughness and speed most other Imps have. He has no abilities, though he spawns in groups of three in three adjacent lanes from lanterns.
==Strategies==
Gift Imp is an Imp variant, so he is no real threat in most ocassions. The only aspect that could be dangerous is the amount that are created at a time, as they could block hits from your defenses and let more powerful zombies get closer to your house. Aside from that, most plants can easily destroy them with little to no issues, so he will not do much other than to slow things down a bit due to his swarmy nature.
