Footbrawl Zombie

Footbrawl Zombie is a Zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2, encountered in Penny's Pursuit, Arena, and Piñata Parties, wearing regulation-issued football gear and not-so-regulation-issued boxing gloves. He behaves as normal on the lawn until coming in contact with a plant, where he does high damage with his boxing gloves. Whenever he destroys a plant, he switches lanes randomly either up or down until he reaches the next plant or dies. There is no limit to the amount of times he can switch lanes. As long as there are plants he can destroy, he will switch. That's some really fancy footwork.
As well as this, Footbrawl Zombie possesses a very strong kick. Whenever he walks by or past an Imp, he will kick them, sending them down the lane super fast. The first plant the kicked Imp makes contact with will explode into flames, but the Imp will die too. Footbrawl Zombie can kick almost any type of Imp, with only a few exceptions, including Head Office Impgantuar and Gargimp Legal. He also has a unique, yet dangerous interaction with the Carnie Imp Twins: when he kicks them, the twins will split apart, and one Imp will go on the lane above, and the other on the lane below. If the Twins are kicked on lane 1 or 5, one Imp will go on Footbrawl Zombie's lane, and the other will go on the lane next to him. 
Any plants he destroys by kicking an Imp will also make him switch lanes, just because he's mean like that.
==Origins==
Footbrawl Zombie is partially based off his red-wearing counterpart, both in appearance and also in his ability to kick Imps. 
His powerful attacks and abilities are inspired by a trend set by other black-wearing football zombies.
==Overview==
Footbrawl Zombie absorbs 880 damage per shot before defeat. At 440 damage per shot, one of his arms fall off. At 880 damage per shot, his head falls off and he dies.

==Strategies==
Footbrawl Zombie is a strong and dangerous zombie. He has several strengths: he's strong, fast, and tricky to hit if there's plenty of plants. His high damage output makes him a force to be reckoned with if he gets too close, and his Imp kick gives him a dangerous ranged attack as well as letting him move out of danger. Ultimately, the best way to deal with him is to not let him near your defense at all, because if he does, he's going to start beating up plants all around your defense and moving constantly. The best ways to do this are with slowing and stalling plants, the best of which being Snow Pea, Iceberg Lettuce, Stunion, and Pokra. Snow Pea is a cheap way of slowing Footbrawl Zombie (and occasionally freezing him) if he shows up by surprise, Iceberg Lettuce and Stunion can hold him in place if you need some time, and Pokra is Pokra.
His Imp kicking ability is dangerous, but can be easily countered. If he shows up on a lane with an Imp on it, you can easily just freeze him or stun him with the aforementioned Iceberg Lettuce and Stunion, giving you time to kill the Imps before he can move again. If there's a ton of Imps, Shrinking Violet works pretty well in removing them from our plane of existence, and having her in general is pretty good for dispatching of Footbrawl himself and other threats in the stage. If he does manage to reach an Imp to kick them, you can just chump block the kick by planting a cheap plant in front of him. However, if you're chump blocking, be wary that he'll still swap lanes, and might even go into a lane with more Imps and make that row into a mass casualty zone.
Much to Footbrawl Zombie's dismay, even his annoying lane swapping can be countered. If he moves to or shows up on a lane that isn't well defended, you can plant a cheap, easily disposable plant in front of him that he can destroy (like Puff-shroom or a sun producer) so he can move into a lane that's more equipped to deal with him. You can even make him switch near a bunch of other zombies to group them all together for an absurdly destructive Cherry Bomb.
He also has a niche group of immunities, which are to plants that have abilities that activate from being eaten. He punches them. They don't do anything. Fortunately, unless you're very fond of Chili Bean this is of almost no consequence, though it might make you sad to hear this means he won't have a wacky interaction with destroying and eating a Garlic and doing the lane swap cha-cha-cha.
He just can't catch a break. Weep for him.
==Trivia==
*His appearance uses sprites from All-Star Zombie, Pirate Gargantuar, Zombot War Wagon, and Kangaroo Rider.
