Identified Flying Zombie

Identified Flying Zombie (IFZ) is a zombie encountered in Far Future, and the only zombie introduced in Terror from Tomorrow. It floats above the lawn, only able to be hit by lobbed shot projectiles, and fires lasers onto the plants below. IFZ only shoots one laser onto each plant it passes.
E.M.Peach will cause it to crash onto the tile below, leaving behind the IFZ's remains as an environment modifier with 1000 DPS. Magnifying Grass and Infi-nut do not take damage from its lasers. Instead, Magnifying Grass will shoot once and Infi-nut will be healed for 500 damage per shot. Additionally, it cannot fly over Infi-nut's force field or Tall-nut, and will stop to eat them using a futuristic nutcracker.
==Origins==
Identified Flying Zombie is based on an unidentified flying object, or UFO. Its almanac entry also references flying saucers, which are objects that are generally associated with UFOs.
==Appearance==
Identified Flying Zombie looks like a Future Zombie. The UFO it pilots is very similar in appearance to the Terror from Tommorow. It has a glass cockpit reminiscent of Shield Zombie's, and is propelled by a jetpack similar to Blastronaut Zombie's. The UFO has an antenna at the bottom, which is where the lasers are shot from.
==Almanac Entry==
==Overview==
Identified Flying Zombie absorbs 1500 damage per shot, and its appearance changes upon absorbing 450, 900, and 1350 damage per shot before dying at 1500 damage per shot.
==Encounters==
*Player's House: Piñata Party
*Far Future: Terror from Tomorrow (randomly after Level 30)
==Strategies==
A good long-term solution to dealing with Identified Flying Zombies is using lobbed shot plants such as Cabbage-pult or Melon-pult, although weaker catapults may need the support of a Tall-nut or an Infi-nut's force field. Although the IFZ is immune to butter and freezing, it is not immune to chilling, making Winter Melon in particular a great pick, as it can stall the IFZ and do hefty damage in the process. It is worth noting that lobbed shot plants can still be useful against IFZs even if the player plans on defeating them with E.M.Peach, as they can lob their projectiles over the debris left behind by the IFZ's crash.
Additionally, although Infi-nuts without force fields and Magnifying Grasses do not help much when fighting an IFZ, they still may be worth bringing along because of the benefits gained when an IFZ flies over them. In particular, Magnifying Grass can benefit by thinning out zombie hordes while your other plants are busy fighting off IFZs. 
E.M.Peach can be a good counter to Identified Flying Zombies, as the player would likely be bringing them anyway to deal with the other mechs in the world. The same applies to Blover, Hurrikale, and Draftodil, but to a lesser extent as their other counters are less common. 
If you use E.M.Peach to defeat Identified Flying Zombies, it may be advantageous to bring Boingsetta or Bamboo Spartan to help deal with the IFZ's remains. If these plants are not an option, piercing plants such as Laser Bean, Fume-shroom, or Bloomerang can be used to hit zombies through the debris.
