The world that Waxing Zombie is formally introduced in, , is where it is at its most dangerous as a threat. The fog, combined with Waxing Zombie's lack of unique damage or entrance cues, makes it impossible for one to tell when it is on the lawn until it has activated its ability. Once it tears away grass, the player will know that it is there, however there is still the problem of knowing where it is, and where to place the appropriate plants to deal with it. One could place s in each row as a precaution in order to deal damage to Waxing Zombie before the player even knows that it is there. Alternitavely, one could use s or s to get rid of the fog in order to be able to see where the zombie is more clearly.

This becomes less of an issue depending on how many Seed slot upgrades the player has bought.
