Screentime Zombie

Screentime Zombie is a premium zombie originating from Plants vs. Zombies: Chemical Corpses.
He can spawn light-blue screens on an empty tile on the lawn. These screens absorb 1300 damage per shot and block straightforward projectiles, therefore protecting zombies behind them. However, one Screentime Zombie can only spawn up to seven screens at a time. When a zombie walks into one of his screens, they will suddenly teleport from that spot exactly one tile ahead of Screentime Zombie. Once a zombie teleports through a screen, said screen will then disappear, removing it from the lawn entirely. Alternatively, all screens will despawn on their own once the Screentime Zombie who spawned them is defeated.
Screentime Zombie is first encountered in 8-Bit Arcade Day 23 when playing as the plants and can be purchased in the shop when playing as the zombies for $4.99.
== Origin ==
Screentime Zombie is loosely based on a livestreamer, a person who records live events, which likely references the selfie stick he's holding and the screens, which have his face on them, and a phone addict, a person unhealthily attached to their phone or other electronic. The "screentime" in his name references the protective screens he creates and the number of phones taped to his body.
His sprite also uses Arcade Zombie's head and Pole Vaulting Zombie from Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars's shoes.

== Strategies ==
Screentime Zombie is a generally tough adversary. The screens he creates, of course, blocks straight projectiles, but lobber plants will ignore said screens. It is recommended that you place lots of piercing plants, like Cactus and Fume-shroom, in every lane to be prepared. Also, take your time and place lots of defenses in the lane Screentime Zombie occupies, in case he suddenly spawns a lot of tough zombies in front of him. And of course, you can go straight for the Screentime Zombie and ignore the screens altogether, as defeating him will remove all screens from the lawn. Since he can also spawn only a limited number of screens, you could wait for him to waste all his screen uses, but it's tedious. Another possible strategy would be to plant E.M.Peach near him, for doing so will render him unable to spawn screens until the effect wears off. Screens will not be removed by E.M.Peach and are also not removed if you use disable Screentime Zombie while a screen is present.

== Trivia ==
*This is AnonymousUser the II's second zombie page on the wiki and second zombie creation to be submitted for a contest.
*Originally, his name was "Streamer Zombie".
**Additionally, he, only him only, could randomly teleport through his screen shields instead of other zombies. This was later changed, possibly to prevent him from being too overpowered.
