Drilling Zombie

Drilling Zombie is a robotic zombie encountered in Mushroom Mineshaft in Plants vs. Zombies: The Thousand Pages. 
It can dig holes in the lawn and come out of them, getting closer to the player's house by doing so. While the hole is open, other zombies can enter them and end up where Drilling Zombie came out (although big zombies, such as Gargantuars, can't enter the holes). It will also destroy any plant he encounters, similar to Barrel Roller Zombie, although it will take it slightly more time to remove plants.
==Overview==
Drilling Zombie absorbs exactly 1300 damage per shot. His appearance changes upon absorbing 650 damage per shot before dying at 1300 damage per shot.

==Almanac Entry==
==Strategies==
Drilling Zombie can be a very dangerous zombie if the player isn't ready for it. If it gets too close to your house, use explosives such as Cherry Bomb to remove it. Since he is fairly slow, the player should have plenty of time to remove this zombie before he reaches the player's plants. The holes it creates do disappear pretty quickly, so not that many zombies should be able to enter them. Also, if the holes disappears while a zombie is still underground, that zombie will be immediately defeated.
E.M.Peach can disable it for a short amount of time since it is a machine. Similar to Jackhammer Zombie, Sap-fling's sap can completely prevent Drilling Zombie from digging holes.
Freezing Drilling Zombie completely with plants such as Iceberg Lettuce and Kernel-pult will prevent him from digging more holes and will leave you more time to kill him. Remember that Stunion has no effects on robotic zombies.
Plants that can attack from behind like Split Pea can be used as a counter attack for the holes this zombie makes, as long as there is space behind the hole.
