Brain Freeze (PvZ:LW)

Brain Freeze is the sixth new zombie encountered in Blizzard Peaks in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, first appearing on Level 14A. Brain Freeze will enter the lawn by riding an ice sledge down a randomly chosen column (this column can be from the 7th to 9th column), leading a horde of Zombie Yetis who enter the lawn through the same method (3 - 5 Zombie Yetis will ride a sledge down any of the 7th to 9th columns). While still on his sledge, Brain Freeze will fire three random ice beams at random plants, instantly freezing them if they're not immune to the cold (unless they have a Bur Coat, in which the Bur Coat will get used up and the plant will not get frozen nor do they take any damage), else they will get stunned for 5 seconds. Brain Freeze will then exit the lawn by riding his sledge down to the bottom, whereas the Yetis he brought along will jump off their sledges (which continue to go down the column before they're lost) and onto a random lane and progress normally. Like the Yetis from the original games, Zombie Yetis will drop lunchboxes upon defeat, but, unlike the Yetis from the original games, these Yetis do not retreat, and their lunchbox drops are somewhat different, and are able to drop the following items:
*Explosive (dealing 900 DPS worth of damage to everything in a 3×3 area) - 40% chance
*Coins of a random amount - 30% chance
*A free seed packet of one of the plants selected for the level - 20% chance
*Plant Food - 10% chance
You can choose whether you want to open these lunchboxes or not when they're dropped by the Yetis, so if you choose not to open them, leaving the lunchboxes where they are for a while will cause them to despawn.
Brain Freeze can't be interacted with during gameplay (plants cannot target, damage or affect him, and neither do zombies who can interact with other zombies), so it's not possible to defeat Brain Freeze. If Brain Freeze or one of his Zombie Yetis rides a sledge down a lane that contains plants, those plants will be pushed aside to the left upon coming into contact with them.
==Almanac entry==
Brain Freeze
Speed: Flighty
Enters the lawn on an ice sledge down a column, leading other Yetis down while randomly shooting ice beams at plants.
Special: Leads a small horde of Yeti Zombies that enter on ice sledges, landing on random lanes
Brain Freeze just decided one day that Yetis being elusive and carrying goodies was boring, so he decided, why not let them start coming in full-blown hordes and carrying explosives instead?
==Encounters==
Blizzard Peaks: Levels 14A, 15A, 16A, 18A, 19A, 22A, 24A, 25A, 2B, 3B, 4B, 3C, 4C, 6C, 1D, 5D, 1E and 5E.
The Sanctuary: Levels 10A, 1B, 5D, 36A, 8C and X (as ally).
==Strategies==
There are two main things you need to watch out for in levels where Brain Freeze appears in: his ice beams and the Yetis he brings with him. Since Brain Freeze's ice beams are especially effective against plants without an immunity to the cold, utilising a defense that mainly uses fire or ice plants (take note of the cold-immunity rifts when you're in Blizzard Peaks, however) or using Bur Coat to protect your plants would be a good idea. Do take note that your plants will still get temporarily stunned, however, so make sure your defense is robust enough before Brain Freeze arrives so that the stunning won't have too significant of an impact on your defenses. As for the Yetis Brain Freeze brings in, you'll need to be weary about the lunchboxes they drop after defeat. If you defeat the Yetis close to your defense, opening them up has a 40% chance to activate explosives that can deal a hard blow to your defenses, so unless your defense is strong enough to take the damage or you're feeling lucky, leaving the lunchboxes rather than opening them may be a safer idea. If you want to open these lunchboxes safely, you should try to make sure you prepare a defense that's strong enough (using plants that hit hard) or can stall the Yetis long enough (using plants that can slow zombies down) to defeat them before they reach close to your defenses so that the lunchbox they drop will not be able to deal any damage to your plants if an explosive is contained inside.

==Trivia==
*The creator initially meant to include extra images to showcase Brain Freeze's ability, but his assets weren't available on the PvZ Wiki at the time this page was made, making it more difficult to make these images, so they were eventually excluded.
