Portal Technician (SD)

Portal Technician is a zombie encountered on Day 7 of Zomboss Labs in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Suburbia Defenders.
Portal Technician acts like a basic Zombie, but holds a portal that absorbs physical projectiles that pass through it.
Normally he will hold the portal in front of him, absorbing straight-shot projectiles. However, if a lobbed-shot projectile is targeted at Portal Technician, he will lift his portal above his head, absorbing the shot but leaving him temporarily open to straight-shot attacks.
Upon defeat, Portal Technician will be sucked into his portal and replaced with a random Zombie.
== Origin: ==
Portal Technician is based on a technician, a person employed to look after technical equipment or do practical work in a laboratory, and a portal. His portal is based on the stereotypical sci-fi portal, with the ability to transport items from place to place without them appearing on the other side of the entrance.
== Appearance: ==
Portal Technician is based on the appearance of a lab technician, wearing a white lab coat and gloves along with a hardhat.
== Overview ==
Portal Technician walks down the lane like a basic Zombie, holding a portal that absorbs physical projectiles that pass through it, and he can lift it to block lobbed-shot attacks at the cost of not absorbing straight-shot attacks.
When destroyed, Portal Technician's portal will summon a random Zombie on his tile. This can be any previously-encountered Zombie, with some exceptions.
== Strategy ==
Because Portal Technician's portal cannot absorb non-physical projectiles, plants such as Laser Bean and Citron are extremely good at destroying him without much effort. Otherwise, plant a lobbed-shot and straight-shot Plant on the same lane so that Portal Technician will be vulnerable to one type of attack while bocking the other.
Otherwise, use instant-kills such as Cherry Bomb or Potato Mine to instantly remove Portal Technician, or use E.M.Peach or Magnet-shroom to deactivate his portal and allow all Plants to damage him.
