==Origins==
Astronaut Zombie is inspired in an astronaut, althrough his mini planet is inspired in the Piranha Planet, an enemy from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.
==Boss Battle==
Astronaut Zombie isn't affected by low plants such as Iceweed, Iceberg Lettuce or potato mine, as he is floating, the only exception is when he executes the attack of crushing plants, if he crushes an armed potato mine it will explode, actually damaging him. He also has a bunch of attacks like every boss; he can summon zombies, crush plants in a 1x3 area with his mini planet, use his laser gun to shoot a laser all around the map, launch backpacks containing gas that can stun the plants in a 3x3 area for 12 seconds, emit radiation that does several damage to the plants in three lanes, spin while shooting red and green orbs from his mini planet and teleport, making him harder to hit.
==Overview==
Astronaut Zombie absorbs 31000 damage per shot (1550 nds) he degrades for the first time at 7750 (387.5 nds) where his mini planet is damaged, he degrades for the second time at 15500 (775 nds) where his mini planet is damaged even more, he degrades for a final time at 23250 nds (1162.5 nds) where his mini planet is damaged even more and starts expulsing smoke before finally dying at 31000 damage per shot (1150 nds) where his mini planet explodes, killing him in the proccess.

==Almanac Entry==
==Strategies==
Althrough not nearly as hard as the previous two bosses, Astronaut Zombie is still a challenge, the main problem are zombies he summons, as they are all dangerous, but also in phase 2 and phase 3 he has dangerous attacks that can quickly destroy your defenses, also another problem is the sacred water, as it will nulify the viability of plants such as snow pea, saucer squash, or Shadow-Shroom for the early game, althrough Bronze-Lettuce's stun won't count as a negative effect for some reason, so it's very important to use him in the early game, Melon-Pult is a good choice, since he can attack the astronaut zombie while he deals splash damage to other zombies, althrough close ranged plants as Cold-Snap dragon aren't really recommendable, as Astronaut Zombie will be constantly teleporting, sometimes behind other zombies, making them not really viable, it's really important to avoid the radiation attack, as it can kill three lanes of plants really quickly, in general another problem that makes the fight harder is that the zombies will spawn a bit far into the lawn, in columns 7-6 instead of the habitual columns 9-8.

== Trivia ==
# If the player uses Shadow-Shroom in the boss arena, they can notice that Astronaut Zombie is immune to poison, this is because the planet is being attacked rather than the zombie himself.
# He can float over poison swamps, althrough this is not normally seen as he doesn't appear in Gloomy Gallons.
