Electric Cage Zombie

Electric Cage Zombie is the eighth new zombie encountered in Lightning Ridge in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, first appearing on Level 16A. Electric Cage Zombie carries a cage which he can use to cage the first plant he encounters, disabling that plant and allowing zombies to walk past the plant until the cage is destroyed. The cage absorbs 500 DPS and also takes 75% less damage from electrical attacks. It also resists lightning, only taking 200 DPS worth of damage from it.

There it is. The not-so-elusive ACkee looks at Electric Cage Zombie with their googly eyes and taunting smile. Electric Cage Zombie has always wanted to try capturing one, it was a goal that he had been aiming to accomplish for a very long time. Before the ACkee could finish charging up their attack, Electric Cage Zombie pounces on them and captures them in his cage! Would you look at that, an ACkee in a cage! His lifelong dream has finally come true! Anyway, back to getting brains.
==Encounters==
Lightning Ridge: Levels 16A, 17A, 19A, 20A, 1B, 4B, 1D and 2D.
The Sanctuary: Levels 13A, 20A, 4C, 3D, 29A and X.
==Strategies==
Like Flywheel Zombie, Electric Cage Zombie is designed to be a zombie that attempts to counter electric plants and their attacks. Unless your defense is strong enough to take out Electric Cage Zombie before he gets to use his cage, his cage can prove to be a nuisance if your defense mainly uses electric plants, as the cage would need to take 4 times the amount of damage from electric attacks to destroy it compared to any other attack (this would equal to 2000 DPS, which has almost as much health as a Brickhead Zombie does). An obvious option would be to try and use offensive plants in your defense that do not utilize electricity, but if you still want to try using a purely electric offense, it's a much better idea to make sure that you don't have to deal with Electric Cage Zombie's cage at all. Stalling the zombie with chilling attacks or using plants with area-of-effect attacks that can reach the zombie easily within the horde (ACkee is a good choice as their attacks fit into both of these categories) before he gets a chance to use his cage are viable options you can pick.

==Trivia==
*Electric Cage Zombie's name was originally going to be Faranight Cage Zombie (where his name is based off the Faraday Cage (which is the actual name for the electric cage), and 'day' in the name is changed to 'night'), but this name has been scrapped afterwards.
