Rocket Imp

Not to be confused with a zombie with the same name from Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2.
Rocket Imp is a zombie encountered in Moon Base Z in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Rocket Imp is an Imp carrying a rocket upon reaching the third column, the rocket will activate, launching the Imp onto the sky, seemingly gone... until the rocket lands on a random plant on the lawn, destroying both plant and Imp in the process. The Rocket Imp will drop the rocket to ground when killed before activating his ability, which the rocket acts as a obstacle that blocks straight attacks and explodes when destroyed, killing both plants and zombies in 3x3 area.
Rocket Imp has several weaknesses, namely ice plants can be used to delay Rocket Imp from activating his ability if being chilled continuously, otherwise Rocket Imp will still able to activate his ability when no longer chilled. Magnet-shroom can attract his rocket, disabling the Imp from activating his ability but doing so will cause the rocket to explode, destroying Magnet-shroom in the process. On other hand, fire plants will not only cause Rocket Imp to activate his ability regardless of columns, but also increased his exploding radius to 3x3 area.
==Origins==
The rocket Imp is carrying is based on Rocket Science from Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.
==Almanac entry==
==Overview==
The Rocket Imp absorbs 250 damage and does not degrade. The rocket itself as an obstacle absorbs 1100 damage and explodes when destroyed.
==Strategies==
Rocket Imp can be a nuisance if not dealt quickly, causing a random plant to die from Rocket Imp's attack. His creeper speed allows other zombies to protect him from taking damage via non-AOE attacks. However Rocket Imp has several counters to against.
Ice plants can be used to delay Rocket Imp from activating his ability if chilled continuously, otherwise Rocket Imp will still able to activate his ability once no longer chilled. Magnet-shroom can also attract the rocket, reducing Rocket Imp to a regular Imp but doing so will also cause the rocket to explode, destroying Magnet-shroom in the process. Shrinking Violet can instantly kill him since he is an Imp and if he activates his ability, Blover can be used to kill him instantly, preventing a loss of plant.
Never use fire plants against Rocket Imp since not only Rocket Imp will trigger his ability instantly but also increase his exploding radius to 3x3.
