Tusk Raider Zombie

__NOTOC__
Tusk Raider Zombie is a that can only be found on this wiki, but let's pretend for the sake of it that he's in . He marches down the lane like any other zombie, only he casts a passive icy aura that slows plants in a 3x3 area around him by 50%. The slowing effect lingers for 10 seconds after contact with Tusk Raider Zombie stops. Fiery plants, such as the bodacious or the congruent are immune to the aura and will function as normal.
Any plant that he touches will be frozen in an ice block, that can then be pushed by , instantly. There's no animation or anything, just the moment he touches one of those plants they will be frozen. If the plant can't be frozen, like for example a fiery plant such as the , he'll eat the plant as normal. But that's boring! Don't you want your plants to be frozen solid, encased in ice blocks? No, you don't? What kind of sicko are you?
Of course, icy plants like are immune to both the aura and the freezing, in addition the typical fire plants and such. Just the ones that are resistant to freezing normally, so it's over for enjoyers. Blame PopCap for making it inconsistent, not me.

Tusk Raider Zombie is a bulky opponent with the ability to ruin your defenses if he can get in there and get squaggling. To avoid that happening, try taking him down before he can get too far - easier said than done, so try something like a or a to keep him at bay. His ability to trap plants in ice also allows him to sidestep your walls, so your should probably be left at home if you're facing Tusk Raider Zombies. Though, he's not the only zombie in the level so maybe still bring them. Worse case scenario, if he's making his way through your precariously-placed defenses you can just blow him up with a . He'll die.
In terms of counterplay, you might want to bring some fiery plants like or to have attackers that won't be slowed if Tusk Raider Zombie breaks through, as well as plants that won't be instantly frozen upon being touched. Something that might be a good shout is to bring to unfreeze plants that have been frozen, but make sure Tusk Raider Zombie has already passed through or they'll be frozen again.
