Rickshaw Zombie

Rickshaw Zombie is the eighth unique zombie found on the Great Wall of China, China, in Plants vs. Zombies: World Tour. He is a little stronger than a Chinese Zombie, and is much faster than one as well, running while pulling a rickshaw behind him which contains a Chinese Imp that is released if either the zombie or the cart is destroyed.
== Origins ==
Rickshaw Zombie is a zombie that pulls behind it a rickshaw, the rickshaw being a two or three-wheeled passenger cart, originally invented in both Japan and France but heavily used later on in China as public transport.
Its ability references the rickshaws being pulled needing lots of speed in order to be pulled forward, so they wouldn't be able to stop for many things. The Chinese Imp in the cart is a reference to the rickshaw being used as a form of public transport.
== Description ==
Rickshaw Zombie takes the appearance of the Drinking Zombie from Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Chinese Version)albeit not holding his drink and instead pulling a rickshaw behind him. The rickshaw is made up of several stitched together sprites from the Zombot War Wagon, Porter Gargantuar's Imp carriage, and some elements from several Chinese Zombies from the Plants vs. Zombies franchise.

== Strategies ==
Although not the most tankiest zombie, Rickshaw Zombie could easily become a dangerous zombie if left unattended due to his deadly speed and ability to ignore plants. Since not even force fields will be able to stop this zombie, bouncing him or pushing him back will detach him from the rickshaw which is a good way of preventing him from getting too close as the zombie slows down after losing the cart.
Using high-damaging and aoe plants are also a good way of destroying the zombie, the Imp and the rickshaw quite quickly, and using plants that target zombies behind them (Split Pea, Starfruit, etc.) is a good way to make sure the zombies don't get too far ahead.
Just remember that Spikeweed and Spikerock cannot break the wheels of the rickshaw, and will only instead damage the zombie and its cart as if it were any other zombie.
