ZCorp Barista

ZCorp Barista is a zombie encountered in ZCorp Inc. in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He has a coffee machine strapped on his back and occasionally spewing hot steam in 2x3 area from behind. Zombies entering that area will get exposed from heat and causing their speed increased, until it stopped after contacting a plant, similar to T.Rex's effect or affected by the chilling effects from the Winter-mint family plants. Note that the hot steam cannot assist other ZCorp Baristas.
==Origins==
He is based on a barista, a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks.
The fact that hot steam can expose zombies in heat is a reference to how most coffees are commonly served in hot temperature.
==Almanac entry==
==Overview==
ZCorp Barista absorbs 500 damage per shot. He will lose his arm when reaching 270 damage per shot, until he immediately dies after reaching 500 damage per shot.

==Strategies==
ZCorp Barista is a ZCorp equivalent of T.Rex from Jurassic Marsh, considering his ability to give zombies a massive speed boost when they're entering the hot steam can be threatening. However, the way to counter the steam is fairly easy. Using Blover might be the only solution to remove them, while Hurrikale only remove a single lane of steam, and Draftodil only blow away a single steam in-front of her. There is another alternative way to stop these zombies when rushing. You can use the same strategy as T.Rex's, or planting any Winter-mint family plants to cool them off. Iceweed might be the best solution to this, as his ability can reset their speed status and damaging them at the same time.
