Zombie Middle Manager (SD)

Zombie Middle Manager is a zombie encountered on Day 9 of Awful Office in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Suburbia Defenders
When entering the lawn, Zombie Middle Manager will set his podium down on the rightmost tile and get on it, then begins yelling at Zombies in his lane. While yelling, Zombies in his lane move, eat, and activate abilities 15% faster. When his podium is destroyed, Middle Manager will walk off the lawn and only 1 Middle Manager can be in a lane at a time.
Zombie Middle Manager can also be summoned from the Board Meeting! surprise attack in Awful Office, where 2-3 Zombie Middle Managers will appear on random lanes, then leave after approximately 20 seconds. During this time, the speed boost of all Middle Managers is increased to 30% whether or not the Middle Manager was summoned by the surprise attack. 
== Origins: ==
Zombie Middle Manager is based on middle management, the intermediate management of a hierarchical organization that is subordinate to the executive management and responsible for at least two lower levels of junior staff. His appearance is based on a typical business look, standing at a podium as if he is giving a speech or directing an assembly.
== Overview ==
Zombie Middle Manager is a decently dangerous Zombie to encounter due to the speed boost he can give other Zombies and his position in the back of the lawn where your attackers will have a hard time reaching him. Luckily, he poses absolutely no threat to you on his own, as he cannot move from the tile while on his podium and leaves the lawn when it is destroyed.
== Strategy ==
Although Zombie Middle Manager may not seem like a treat at first glance, he is actually a quite dangerous supporting Zombie. The speed boost he provides can let weaker Zombies wreak havoc on your defenses if you aren't properly prepared, and his position at the back of the lawn makes it hard for your Plants to reliably hit him.
To combat these problems, piercing Plants such as Bloomerang can be used to hit him from behind other Zombies, and slowing Plants such as Winter Melon or Sap-fling can cancel out Middle Manager's movement speed boost. All in all, Middle Manager shouldn't be a threat if you are properly prepared, so just be ready and he won't be much of an issue. 
== Trivia: ==
*It is a tower defense version of the Zombie Middle Manager card from Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes.
*This is Bobert's second tower defense version of a Zombie card from PvZH.
*His appearance uses sprites from Zombie Middle Manager (PvZH), Zombot War Wagon, and Loudmouth.
