Zombie Alpaca

Zombie Alpaca is a zombie encountered in Lost City of Plants vs Zombies 2 and an environment modifier. Every ten seconds, they will spit moss onto a random tile of the lane they are positioned, only stopping when their way gets hindered by a plant. This moss not only prevents the player from planting in the tile where it is spoted, but also exploid in a 3x3 area if passing it's time limit (15 seconds)
At the same time, this zombie does not come alone, as she is accompanied by an Imp. As soon as the bush that replaces the Zombie Alpaca's wool is destroyed or damaged, she will throw Llama Rider Imp into the player's defenses and flee from the lawn shortly after
Keep in mind that Zombie Alpaca can't target tiles that are already covered with something (lava puddles, molten pools, sap puddles, butter puddles, etc. this incluiding the trap tiles of her world)
==Origins==
She is mainly based on an Alpaca, a South American species that shares similarities with the llama, and Basil (specifically the Thai basil variant), an aromatic plant of the family Lamiaceae that's commonly used as a condiment for foods or in the elaboration of sauces.
Additionally, Llama Rider Imp wears traditional clothes of Peru (i.e. a chullo and a poncho). This is a reference to how alpacas were domesticated by the cultures located in the Andes thousands of years ago and how they are often associated to said country
==Overview==
She absorbs 1000 damage and her appearance changes after absorbing 300 (losing small patches of her "wool"), and 900 damage (her "wool" falling completely apart). Mosses on the other hand absorb 200 damage.

==Strategies==
Zombie Alpaca's ability to convert any tile that's still not occupied into a timer bomb is something that should not be taken lightly, especially in Temple of Bloom, where they usually appear at the start of the levels.
Fire based plants are the main weakness of this zombie and their mosses, so make sure to bring at least one Pepper-mint family plant if seeing them on the seed selection screen, Inferno being the most appropriate one to use against this zombie, as a single fire tornado is enough to instantly destroy all the moss tiles in a lane. However, you may also have to use other fire based plants to counter this annoying ability due to Inferno's sluggish recharge and slightly high price. If you don't have any defenses to when this zombie comes to the lawn, stall them with an Iceberg lettuce or Stunion quickly. Using straight-shooting plants like Red Stinger isn't a really good idea as their projectiles will likely ignore any moss tiles that are in the way, instead, use lobbed-shot plants like A.K.E.E. or Pepper-pult, or area-of-effect plants such as Fume-shroom or Laser Bean. Another good option is to kill them quickly by using heavy damage plants like Magnifying Grass or powered Dusk Lobber so the smallest number of tiles get affected by them. Kernel-pult may also be a bit useful for his ability to stun zombies with butter, however, it is more advisable to have at least two columns of this plant due to how irregular this ability is
Using Sap-fling can be of great help when dealing with this zombie, as sap tiles can't be targeted nor affected by them. Infi-nut's Plant Food field can protect all empty tiles behind it from getting covered with moss too. In the case you don't want to deal with their riding imp, you can either use Blover or a Shrinking Violet for the moment they drop them
When coming alone or in a small group, try to bait her into eating Chili bean, it will be one less zombie to worry about plus the other zombies behind her will get stunned by the gas
Moss tiles aren't that hard to destroy as they have the same life as a regular zombie, so any plant with a lobbed shot or an area/splash effect can kill them quite quickly, but if having too many of them, it'll be better to use an instant-kill plant like Jalapeno or Cherry Bomb rather than risking your attacking plants from getting destroyed by them.

==Trivia==
*There were several ideas (most of them scrapped) during the creation of this character, her original idea being to be an offensive plant with an ability similar to MayBee's.
**In fact, the entire creation of this character is summarized in a stupid pun with the words "Alpaca" and "Albahaca" (Basil for Spanish), hence the reason to why that's her appearance
*Her ability is a reference to how alpacas spit when feeling stressed, fearful, or agitated
