Lifeguard Tower Zombie

Lifeguard Tower Zombie (Also known as just Lifeguard Tower) is a Big Wave Beach-themed General zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It advances to the very right end of the lawn in the middle, taking up a 3x3 space. It can only be encountered in Penny's Pursuit levels that take place in Big Wave Beach. Lifeguard Tower Zombie has a variety of attacks:
*Lifeguard Flag Zombies - In some cases, the Lifeguard Imp will blow his whistle, causing two Lifeguard Flag Zombies to rise out of the water on the 1st and 5th columns in the middle of the lawn. Then they just stand there holding the red and yellow flags, keeping you from placing any plants behind them, unless you defeat both of the zombies.
*Sunscreen - The Imp will eventually throw bottles of sunscreen at plants, specifically sun-producing plants, to temporarily keep them from producing sun.
*Surfer Summoner - The Imp would yell through a megaphone, causing the three middle rows of plants to move back one step (Kinda like Mecha-Football Zombie), while also summoning FOUR Surfer Zombies that appear on all rows except for the middle one.
After a while, the Imp will activate a remote, making the lifeguard tower collapse, as he flies away to the right side of the lawn on a parachute.

==Strategies ==
Lifeguard Tower Zombies is very difficult to manage, but that depends on which one of his attacks you're dealing with. You can easily get rid of the Lifeguard Flag Zombies, as they're not much of a big threat other than taking up half of the lawn space, which is very difficult if you need to add in more plants for something like an upcoming Gargantuar attack. Before Lifeguard Tower Zombie shows up, try to save up as much sun as possible, as the sunscreen can keep Enlighten-mint family plants from producing sun. Plants like Gold Bloom and Solar Tomato can't be targeted though as they're instant-use plants, so use them whenever possible. You can use Imitater if you desperately need support. If you were to dig up plants during this procedure, there would be no sun recycled, not even if you have the Upgrades to do so.
The megaphone screaming will try to knock some plants off the lawn, but strong winds from plants like Blover and Draftodil have a 50-50 chance of keeping that from happening, and blowing the plants back in their original positions. If there are any Power mints in the lane, they will not be affected and they can even block off more plants for moving back a space. You can use Tangle Kelp's plant food ability to try and easily remove the lawn of the Surfer Zombies. Upgrading Tangle Kelp will cause them to target specific zombies more. Lifeguard Tower zombie is even more of an opposing threat when it comes to collaboration with Octo Zombie. Octo Zombie can sometimes easily wrap up Enlighten-mint family plants so even after you manage to get past Lifeguard Tower's sunscreen stage, you'll still have to deal with the Octopi. So, as stated above, remember to use instant-use sun-producing plants.
