Special: releases fifteen chickens
Weakness: Lightning Reed
Everyone hates the chickens, they always forget about the wrangler. He just wants some credit, some respect for what he does, but no. It's always the chickens that eat the brains, it's always the chickens that people remember.
====Zombie Chicken====

====Weightlifter Zombie====
Weightlifter Zombie
A strong, muscled zombie which can smash one plant, at the cost of losing the barbell.
Toughness: great
Speed: average
Special: smashes one defensive plant
Weakness: Magnet-shroom
In order to compensate for losing his left arm, Weightlifter Zombie decided to spend 100% of his time holding a barbell in his right arm. Of course, for a zombie, exerting itself is just going to make its arm fall off a lot easier, so now he can't ever let go of the barbell, for fear of losing his other arm.
====Imposter Zombie====
Imposter Zombie
The disguise hides the fact that it's actually two Imps in a costume.
Toughness: armored
Speed: average
Special: appears as another zombie in the level
Weakness: Spyris sees through the disguise
The Imposter Zombie was just a couple of Imps that wanted to get into the fight without the help of Gargantuars or Bulls or Cannons or anything stupid like that. And they succeeded, until their costume got destroyed.
====Imp====
Imp
Fast, but weak. Usually requires the help of another zombie to get into the fight.

Stonemason Zombie has always been fascinated by stones and rocks of all kinds, but it wasn't until you started destroying the tombstones in this graveyard that Stonemason Zombie finally got a job doing what he loved. He really should thank you, but he'd still eat your brains if given the chance.

A mechanical bull that launches the Imp riding on it when it encounters a plant.
Toughness: armored
Speed: rapid, then average

Attack #5 (Bat Beam): stops and shoots a super-strong beam at your plants
Attack #6 (Bat Abduction): while flying around, some bats will fly towards plants and steal them, and each plant stolen heals the Baron
Baron Von Bats may seem like a goofy Zompire at times, but don't let that fool you. He is the most vicious bloodsucker and brain-eater ever to have lived. Well, since he's undead in two ways, I guess "lived" isn't the right word.
