Zombie Croc

Zombie Croc is the seventh new zombie encountered in Plunging Rapids in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, first appearing on Level 14A. Zombie Croc, unlike all other zombies, can only enter the lawn through strong current (from the top of the lawn), meaning that they can only enter the first or second lane in any level (only two Zombie Crocs will appear in any level with them, one entering the first lane and the other through the second lane). They will enter through the fifth-seventh column and then progress normally, hiding in the water like Snorkel Zombie to evade attacks. When Zombie Croc encounters a plant, he will resurface and instantly defeat the plant and devour it, then he will stay resurfaced for 20 seconds in order to finish chewing before hiding underwater again to progress.

== Strategies ==
This zombie may not appear often during levels, but the fact that Zombie Croc enters through the strong current makes strong currents more dangerous due to the fact that the first and second lanes have already lost most of its defense, and there are already zombies that are taking advantage of the situation, forcing you to act quick. It is advised that you make sure you have at least some suitable offensive plants on land (e.g. a Repeater in the first and second lane can do the job (one can take out a Zombie Croc within 15 seconds)) so there will still be some plants to get rid of Zombie Croc. Since Zombie Croc hides underwater, you will need to force him to reveal himself in order to allow some of the plants on land to attack him. Since Zombie Croc will take a while to eat plants after devouring him, it makes him extremely easy to stall. Planting some cheap plants like Lily Pad in front of Zombie Croc would be good bait in order to force Zombie Croc to resurface, and allow your plants on land to take them out. If you want to take the easy way out or if you are in a tight situation, you may also save your plants like Cherry Bomb for the strong current so you can easily take out the Zombie Crocs which may arrive.
