Kimpnoko

Kimpnoko is a zombie encountered in Penny's Pursuit in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Acts like a regular Imp but is immune to poison effects.
However when Kimpnoko is defeated, he relases spores in a 1x3 area behind him, those spores turn zombies into Infected Zombies. Infected Zombies are faster and immune to poison, but they lose their special abilities.
Infected Zombies have the same spreading ability but reduced to very nearby zombies. General zombies like Cardio, mecanical zombies, animal zombies and bosses can't be infected.
==Origins==
He is based in the Japanese yōkai kinoko, those yōkai are described as children from two to four years of age and wear clothes that are made of leaves or are blue. He is also based on an from the Plants vs. Zombies franchise, his name is a pun between "kinoko" and "imp".
His mushroom ability can be a reference to how "キノコ" can be translated as "mushroom".

==Strategies==
At first seen Kimpnoko sounds like an easy threat: is very weak and makes zombies lose their abilities. However the speed buffs that Infected Zombies have can be dangerous if used during huge waves. 
With the right strategies Kimpnoko can be used to disable special annoying zombies like Octo Zombie, one of them can be using Primal Pea to knockback him and use his ability in your favor. It can be mixed with Thyme Warp to infect many zombies, disabling them. 
Him and the infected zombies that he makes are immune to poison, making Goo Pea not recomended and Shadow-shroom be completly useless against those zombies. However Lv.5 Stunion is still a good option to stall those zombies due to their high speed, Puffball can be used to stun them too but is not recomended.
