Bug Zapper Zombie

Bug Zapper Zombie is a zombie encountered in Lost City Expansion levels, Arena, and Epic Quests in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He holds a bug zapper that once he's defeated, will electrocute surrounding Bug Zombies and critters in his radius. The light can illuminate 3x3 area of fog, letting the player to see through it.
According to his almanac entry, he can take extra damage from electric attacks, such as Lightning Reed, Electric Peashooter, etc. The bug zapper is also a metallic object, as Magnet-shroom able to steal it from his hand.
He eventually returns in Plants vs. Zombies 3 and now encountered in Tropical Cave-In levels. He retains most of the abilities from the second game, but now can damage surrounding zombies as well, depleting a quarter of their health.
==Origins==
Bug Zapper Zombie's design is based on Headhunter, a card from Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.
== Description ==
Bug Zapper Zombie wears a pith helmet with comically-small crown. He has a mocha brown moustache, long messy hair, and bushy beard. He wears an explorer attire, consisting of light brown uniform that extends to his knees, a leather belt, clay jeans, and red-ish brown boots. His left sleeve has been completely torn out and reveals a bandaged hand. He has a snake bite behind his back, and all of his clothes are covered in mud. There are large leaves surrounding half of his body (from head to torso), and his hat has moss covered on the right side of his hat, along with two agaric mushrooms growing on top of it. And lastly, he yields a bug zapper that kills any bugs and critters lurking around him.

==Strategies==
Even though Bug Zapper Zombie can be helpful in some cases, keep Bug Zombies far away from your defenses and trap tiles as possible. Don't be judged by his bug zapper being able to illuminate an area of fog, as his second ability can be deadly depending how far Bug Zombies are from the trap tiles. Zapping them in-front of any type of trap tiles will tear down your defenses easily by boulders and flames. Not to mention there's a Buckethead variant of Bug Zombie which will threat your defenses even more. Try planting Tall-nut in-front of your defenses so that Bug Zombies wouldn't fly over your defenses easily or use Magnet-shroom to steal the bug zapper, rendering him behaving like a Basic Zombie. Note that aiding him with electric plants can defeat him quicker if he's still far away, consider he will take double of the damage output by electric sources. But unfortunately, the ability can be triggered regardless.
There are other ways to defeat him without triggering his ability, those mainly being instant-kill plants like Potato Mine and Cherry Bomb, or fire plants like Pepper-pult and Torchwood. Witch Hazel and Imp Pear can transform him without triggering the ability as well.
In other worlds, Bug Zapper Zombie is always helpful to get rid of critters as fast as possible. There are some zombies that can be dispatched by the bug zapper's electricity to disable their abilities. Those are being:
* Seagull Zombie
* Pirate Captain Zombie (has a Zombie Parrot that can be dispatched)
* Chicken Wrangler Zombie (hoards Zombie Chickens, and will lose them when getting electrocuted)
* Weasel Hoarder (same with Chicken Wrangler Zombie)
* Grinderhead Zombie (monkey can be dispatched, preventing it from spawning out of the grinderbox)
