Carpet Roller Zombie

Carpet Roller Zombie is the seventh new zombie encountered in Magma Marshlands in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, first appearing on Level 15A. Carpet Roller Zombies, as their name suggests, roll a carpet across the lawn, covering tiles that the zombie walks on with carpet. This carpet cannot be planted on (unless you're using flying plants), and protects zombies from scorched tiles in Magma Marshlands, preventing them from damaging zombies. Carpet Roller Zombie will stop rolling his carpet and continue walking like a normal zombie whenever he encounters a plant or obstacle, leaving the rest of the carpet roll behind him, acting as an obstacle for straight-shot projectiles. The carpet roll is very vulnerable to fire-based attacks, and will light on fire when damaged by one, suffering 30 DPS of damage per second permanently until it is destroyed, causing the rest of the carpet laid out on the lawn to be consequently reduced to ashes instantly. When the rest of the laid-out carpet burns, zombies walking on the carpet will be dealt 50 DPS of fire damage. If the carpet roll was destroyed by a non-fire-based attack, the rest of the carpet laid out on the lawn will remain there and only despawn after 25 seconds unless a Jalapeño is used to get rid of it.

==Strategies==
Carpet Roller Zombie's carpet can be a bit of a nuisance if you want to plant a close-range, single-use plant towards the right side of the lawn to counter other zombies, since the carpet prevents you from doing that. The fact that the carpet also protects zombies from damage from scorched tiles means that the zombies can approach your defenses with more health than usual in Magma Marshlands. The best way to deal with the zombie is to utilise fire plants in order to speed up the destruction of the carpet, plus, it also burns the rest of the carpet laid out on the ground when the carpet roll is destroyed, rendering the carpet no longer of use. However, unless your offensive plants' raw firepower is good enough, there is another effective method you can use that doesn't require fire plants, but will need to have you to do manually: plant a Puff-shroom or any other easily 'spam-able' plant directly in front of Carpet Roller Zombie. This method will cause Carpet Roller Zombie to instantly abandon his carpet roll, and prevent the zombie from covering more tiles on his lane with his carpet. However, do note that unless you have planted the Puff-shroom on the last column, there will still be some leftover carpet that you have to wait to despawn before you can plant anything on that area. Normally this won't be a problem due to how the carpet won't usually cover a lot of area when this method is in use, but if you really need to, then you'll need to resort to a Jalapeño in order to get rid of the remaining carpet.
