Jack-in-the-box Zombie (PvZ2)

Jack-in-the-box Zombie was added in the 7.6 update alongside Night Cap. You can find Jack-in-the-box Zombie in the Arena, Penny's pursuit, : Pinata parties. Jack-in-the-box appears to be in a straight jacket holding a Jack-in-the-box that may seem normal, but is holding a deadly surprise inside of it!
== Overview ==
Jack-in-the-box Zombie holds a Jack-in-the box that randomly explodes in a 3x3 area. If any plants are in a 3x3 area when his Jack-in-the-box explodes, each of the plants will take 500 damage. Also note, if he reaches a plant and his Jack-in-the-box has not exploded yet, Jack-in-the-box Zombie will eat that plant making it possible for Jack-in-the-box Zombie to eat a Hypno-shroom. When he eats a Hypno-shroom or gets Hypnotized by any other plant, his Jack-in-the-box automatically explodes but instead of the explosion dealing 500 damage to plants in a 3x3 area, instead, all zombies will take 500 damage in a 3x3 area of the explosion. Also note, when a Magnet-shroom takes Jack-in-the-box Zombie's Jack-in-the-box, he will just eat like a regular basic zombie would.
== Origins ==
Jack-in-the-box Zombie comes from the Jack-in-the-box Zombie in the Prequel of PvZ2, PvZ1. Also Jack-in-the-box Zombie somewhat represents a Magician too because he wears a straight jacket and holds a Jack-in-the-box which isn't 100% confirmed to be a item that a Magician would use but a Magician would use a straight jacket though! 
== Almanac Entry ==
== Strategies to defeat ==
Jack-in-the-box Zombie is a fast and dangerous Zombie, so in order to defeat (Or help to defeat it) You should use plants in these following families: Contain-mint, Winter-mint, : Enchant-mint (Only plants that can Hypnotize). And also all Instant plants that do a lot of damage or slow/freeze zombies. It's completely random when their Jack-in-the-box explodes so make sure to use plants from all of these families and instant plants to make sure you defeat him as fast as you can. Out of any plants in these families i'd pick Hypno-shroom because when Jack-in-the-box Zombie eats Hypno-shroom his Jack-in-the-box explodes dealing damage to all zombies in a 3x3 area but, any plant that Hypnotizes zombies will still work.
== Trivia ==
• Jack-in-the-box Zombie originally came from PvZ1
• This is the first PvZ2 version of the Jack-in-the-box Zombie
• Jack-in-the-box Zombie was also planned to go in Modern Day but since they already released all of the worlds in PvZ2 and are never going to update a world with a zombie like this, Jack-in-the-box Zombie never went to Modern day.
