Skele Zombies are zombies that take 7.5 seconds to walk to a tile but can withstand 1290 damage from a plant. Skele Zombies eat at the same speed as a basic zombie. When a Skele Zombie gets vanquished, It will go through a state of coming back to life which will take 60 seconds to do. During this time, it will lay his body on the floor in a 1x2 area and slowly regenerate. Plants can't be planted on the 1x2 area the Skele Zombie is regenerating from. 
==Origins==
Necornmancer is based of Maize, more commonly known as corn. Which is apart of the Genus Zea, which is apart of the Poaceae family. Which are known for their yellow kernels and tall stems. 
His ability was thought of because of the husk of the corn. the outer protective layer covering the corn. Because of the Minecraft mob called the Husk. which are a variation of the Zombie mob. These creatures are known for being apart of the undead. which is the dead reanimated. 
Necornmancer is also based of a necromancer, which is a person who studies necromancy, the magic of communicating or reanimating.
The Skele Zombies ability to come back is based of the Super Mario enemy, Dry Bones, First appearing in SMB3, Dry Bones comes back to life shortly even after Mario steps on it.
His name is a portmanteau of Necromancer and Corn

==Strategies==
Necornmancer is a unique plant that is hard to use but can be great if used correctly. It functions similar to plants like Zoybean Pod, but it has major differences.
The Skele Zombies produced have the same health as a Buckethead but the same speed as a Healer, making it a tank-like zombie. He summons zombies on random tiles in a 3x5 area which is a relatively big area of summoning, but meaning that they will be summoned in random lanes. Two negatives about Necornmancer is the fact that he cost 300 sun and has a 35 second recharge,this makes him one of the most expensive plants in the game. Which makes him unreliable in the early game. Skele Zombies only live for 75 seconds and Necornmancer can only resurrect Skele Zombies every 35 seconds so it is best used as a secondary attacker that supports your main attackers, and if used in front, make sure it is behind a defensive plant or it will get killed easily.
Skele Zombies have somewhat good stats, it has very slow speed of 7.5 seconds to walk to the next tile, but can resist over 1290 damage. Skele Zombies gimmick makes them more then just a Buckethead but slower. When a Skele Zombie gets vanquished, they can come back to life after 60 seconds of being vanquished. Making it basically a ultra-undying zombie, but during this 60 seconds period, Plants can't be planted on the 1x2 area the Skele Zombie is getting resurrecting from. Making the lawn more limited for plants. Skele Zombies also disappears after 75 seconds on the lawn, this makes the zombie more limited of what it can do due to the time limit.
Necornmancer can resurrect 3 zombies in a 3x5 that have been vanquished for the past 10 seconds every 20 seconds and turns those vanquished zombies into Skele Zombies. This ability makes it super useful when using plants that deal high damage such as Cherry Bomb and Explode-o-Nut, but this strategy gets boosted when combining Teleportato-mine and Necornmancer. Since Teleportato-mine can teleport 3 of the closest zombies to her and explode, killing most zombies that get teleported to her. Then Necornmancer revives those 3 zombies into Skele Zombies. But the important thing about this strategy is timing, since he only does this every 20 seconds for zombies that have been vanquished for 10 seconds. Meaning that you have to accurately place the Teleportato-Mine (or other exploding plant) on time to get the full effect. Other explosive plants that work well with him are Boom Balloon Flower (can place her balloons anywhere, including on plants), Explode-o-Vine (can be planted on him and explodes two times which can be more with plant food), and Grapeshot (explodes in 3x3 area and shoots grapes in 8 directions, dealing 200 damage to zombies hit by grapes).
The chance of poison on the Skele Zombies make it great against high-health zombie like Bucketheads and Jurassic Rockpunchers.
Skele Bullies are also great, being as slow as a normal Skele Zombie, but can resist 1870 damage. It also has the ability to regenerate but now takes 70 seconds instead of 60, and they last 90 seconds instead of 75. In order to make a Skele Bully, you will have to sacrifice a Necornmancer by any means (Except shoveling and being flung off the lawn).
