Lightning Zombie

Lightning Zombie is a Zombie that summons lightning to strike plants, dealing 1000 (20 bites) damage. They are Solid, and they target the plant with the most health.* The are the same speed as a Basic Zombie, or in Sky Islands' case, Leaper Zombies. Lightning Zombie can eat plants**, but only when it approaches one. Note: If a Lightning Zombie approaches a pit, it will fall offscreen.
*For example, a Wall Nut with only 3 bites of health left will not be targeted if a full health Candy Corn-pult is on screen, so what I mean by "they target the plant with the most health," is that Lightning Zombies target the plant with the most health left.
**Lightning Zombies cannot summon lightning when they're eating a plant.
== Overview ==
This Zombie can be a major threat to your defences, especially if you don't have any Wall-nuts, Tall-nuts, or any other defencive plants. This Zombie can take out your Wall-nuts somewhat quickly, too. But, thankfully you can prevent it from summoning lightning by giving it something to chew on, such as a Wall-nut.

== Strategy ==
There are many ways to deal with Lightning Zombies, but they are still a major threat. The best way to deal with Lightning Zombies is to not let them advance two tiles, as that triggers the first lightning bolt. Some ways to do this are:
* Plant a Wall-nut on the Lightning Zombie's tile as soon as you see it.
* Use high damaging plants to defeat it quickly (Candy Corn-pult and Gatling Cranberry could work).
You could also use a Wall-nut's plant food power to force the lightning bolts on one plant. When doing this, it is important to know Lightning Zombies can summon lightning 7 or 8 times (depending on whether there is a lawn mower or not) in the time it takes to reach the player's house.
== Trivia ==
* Lightning Zombie was originally going to be called Zeus Zombie, after the Greek God, Zeus, god of lightning, until I discovered that someone already made a Zeus Zombie, the page for it is here.
