Cursed Zombie

Cursed Zombie is the eighth new zombie encountered in Grove of Gloom in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, first appearing on Level 16A. Cursed Zombie first enters the lawn like a normal zombie, distinguished from other zombies by a scratch on his side. He has a chance to spawn in with head gear like Conehead Zombie or Buckethead Zombie. Cursed Zombie will transform into a werewolf when the moon icon that appears during night levels advances into the full moon phase (more about this mechanic here). Upon transformation, Cursed Zombie will quadruple in base health (does not include armour health), with a max. of 800 DPS health (depends on current health), and drop his head gear if he has any, and proceed to run at Flighty speed until it encounters a plant or a zombie, at which point Cursed Zombie will scratch them and stop running, progressing across the lawn as normally at Hungry speed. Plants that get scratched will get damaged for 2000 DPS, and zombies for 200 DPS. If a zombie was scratched and survives, it transforms into a werewolf just like Cursed Zombie, altering the max. base health to 800 DPS (current health changes accordingly) and advancing at Hungry speed (they won't run and attempt to convert other zombies). Zombies that get scratched will lose their gear, armour and abilities completely. Cursed Zombie will ignore other werewolves, Gargantuars and vehicles when running, and will not scratch them.

== Strategies ==
Cursed Zombie can be dangerous once it transforms. Not only do they have significantly higher health and slightly faster speed, their scratch attack can leave a damaging mark on your defenses if they scratch a plant, or make another werewolf and pile up if they scratch a zombie, making them difficult to deal with. Luckily, there's a simple way to ensure that you don't have to go through the hassle of fighting off these werewolf zombies. Keep track of the phase that the moon icon shows and make sure that you don't collect any moon to advance the moon icon into its full moon phase whenever any Cursed Zombies are on the lawn (in the Grove of Gloom, light up the area so you can be aware if they are present, that way, you don't cause any of them to transform before your offensive plants are able to take them out.
