Barbecue Zombie (DinoSMG22)

Barbecue Zombie is a Zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2, encountered in Modern Day expansion levels, Arena, and Penny's Pursuit. He appears on the lawn pushing a grill along. The grill, when pushed onto a plant, crushes the plant and kills it. Any zombies that pass by the grill get their movement speed boosted by 25% for five seconds.
The zombie pushing the grill has the same amount of health as a Basic Zombie. If the zombie is killed, the grill will stop moving and remain stationary, continuing to boost zombies that pass it until it is destroyed.

==Overview==
The barbecue and zombie absorb 1290 DPS altogether. The barbecue absorbs 1100 DPS, enters its first degrade at 350 DPS, enters its second at 700 DPS, and breaks at 1100. The zombie pushing the barbecue absorbs 190 DPS. Its arm falls off at 95 DPS, and its head at 190, killing it.
==Strategy==
The Barbecue Zombie is a very dangerous supporting zombie. When in combination with certain other zombies, such as Gargantuars, he'll become a major threat. A way of killing him quickly is with catapult plants, which will target the zombie pushing the grill. Since the pusher only has the health of a Basic Zombie, it would die easily. However, be wary of the spot where the pusher dies, because the grill will still remain on the field, boosting zombies. Try to wall it off from the other zombies with a defensive plant as you destroy it so they don't get boosts. Some options to destroy it are with any straight shooting plants (make sure the zombies don't move in front of the grill), catapult plants (if there are no other zombies on that lane) and, if things get out of hand or there are too many zombies to be able to wall off, use an instant kill plant.
Additionally, the grill is weak to ice plants. While it can't be frozen directly by Iceberg Lettuce, other winter plants would deal extra damage to it. Snow Peas, Winter Melons and Cold Snapdragons are all great choices for chilling and destroying a grill quickly, with the added bonus of slowing down any zombies that come close or manage to get boosted by it.
==Trivia==
*A high level Grave Buster can eat the grill, but it takes a few more seconds than a normal grave.
