Skeleton Zombie (DsFanboy)

Skeleton Zombie is a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. He is the eighth new zombie encountered in Crumbled Castle. Skeleton Zombie throws bones forward, 2-4 tiles away, throwing one every 5 seconds. These bones can pile up on the same tile, and if five bones occupy the same tile, they transform into another Skeleton Zombie. Skeleton Zombie also drops two bones on death, dropping them wherever he was standing last. 
Skeleton Zombie's bones can be planted on, and they deal 30 damage when they hit a plant. They decay away after 12 seconds, and the bones that a Skeleton Zombie spawned disappear two seconds after it dies.

== Overview ==
Skeleton Zombie absorbs 500 . It loses its arm at 180 damage, its ribcage at 360, and its head at 500 damage before dying.
Skeleton Zombie throws a bone projectile, which deals 30 damage on impact of a plant. It stays wherever it lands, and it does not act as an obstacle, meaning the player can plant on top of it. The player cannot destroy bones. Bones can pile up on the same tile, and once a pile reaches five bones, a new Skeleton Zombie will emerge from it.

== Strategies ==
Skeleton Zombies, with their ability to multiply, can grow to become a rather annoying annoying threat, especially when multiple of them are in the same lane. Using any method of slowing can prevent it from throwing so many bones. It is important to remember its on-death ability, since it can instantly bring a pile of three bones to five, spawning a new Skeleton Zombie.
The damage its bones deal is rather low, so it should not be too much of a concern in most cases. Nonetheless, it does exist, to try to keep an eye out for the health of your low-cost plants, especially .
The Gust-shroom has the unique ability to deflect Skeleton Zombie's projectiles, effectively rendering that ability useless. However, its short range prevents it from completely nullifying the Skeleton Zombie without planting it in the front of the lawn. Gust-shroom also cannot stop the Skeleton Zombie from deploying two bones on death. Nevertheless, it is still a good contender for a method of dealing with this foe.
The player can try to take advantage of its ability to multiply by using the . Each new Skeleton Zombie created is a new opportunity for Spore-shroom to create a new copy of itself. However, doing this strategy means the player has to rely on keeping the Skeleton Zombie alive to get value out of Spore-shroom's ability, so it may not be the most optimal strategy out there.
