High Pharaoh Zombie

High Pharaoh Zombie is the upgraded version of the Pharaoh Zombie. His health has been increased to that of a Gargantuar, while all of his other stats have remained the same. 
==Origins==
His appearance is based off of the ancient Egyptian sarcophagus, as well as a Pharaoh, the ruler of ancient Egyptian kingdoms. 
==Appearance==
High Pharaoh Zombie looks very similar to his downgrade. The main difference is in the color of his sarcophagus and crown. He now sports a more black-and-grey look, complete with ornamental spikes, similar to Giga-Football Zombie. 
==Overview==
High Pharaoh Zombie absorbs 3600 damage per shot. His appearance changes upon absorbing 960 and 1920 damage, before his sarcophagus breaks after absorbing 2880 damage. High Pharaoh Zombie will lose his arm at 3240 damage before finally dying at 3600 damage per shot. 
==Encounters==
(WIP)
==Strategies==
High Pharaoh Zombie, like all the upgraded zombies, is extremely threatening. His absurdably high health makes him extremely difficult to deal with, and like the pre-5.9.1 Pharaoh Zombie, he cannot be killed via instas. They will instead simply destroy his sarcophagus, which will leave a fast zombie that's tougher than a Conehead charging into your defenses. 
Even worse, he'll frequently appear in large hordes in later levels. This necessitates heavy-hitting plants such as Winter Melon and Primal Peashooter. In fact, using the two in conjunction is extremely potent, as the Winter Melon slows the already slow zombie, making it more difficult to make up the distance that Primal Peashooter knocks them back. 
While he's resistant to many insta-kills, High Pharaoh can still be eaten like any normal Zombie. This makes Chomper, Toadstool, and Snap Pea terrific against him, as they'll completely destroy him in one bite. He's also an amazing target for Hypno-Shroom, even being able to tank multiple Gargantuar smashes for your plants. 
Poison is still effective against him, although he has somewhat high health even without his sarcophagus, making it more difficult to use. Nevertheless, Shadow-Shroom and Goo Repeater are still efficient ways to defeat him. Grimrose is also a potent plant to use against him, as it kills him regardless of whether he's in his sarcophagus or not. 
If there's no other options left, it should be noted that the High Pharaoh still moves and eats at the same rate that a basic zombie does. Using a blocker such as Wall-Nut can hold him off for a while and give you the necessary time to build up a defense to defeat him. 
==Trivia==
*His color scheme is based off of Giga-Football Zombie, a foe only encountered in the online version of Plants vs. Zombies. Like the High Pharaoh, the Giga-Football is a zombie buffed to have the health of a Gargantuar.
*If his sarcophagus is still on, he will not die to eating a Chilli Bean. This is despite the fact that eating a Hypno-Shroom still affects him as normal.
*Although the Almanac lists his speed as Hungry after his sarcophagus breaks, it is actually Speedy.
*The line "The king and the pawn go in the same box" is a reference to a chess-related quote. In business terms, the Italian proverb translates to the fact that there is no room for arrogance or ego, no matter what position one might hold.
