Electric Boogaloo (PvZ:LW)

Electric Boogaloo is the ninth new zombie encountered in Lightning Ridge in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, first appearing on Level 18A. Electric Boogaloo teleports into the lawn via a lightning strike (but only once per level, excluding the boss battle where he can appear multiple times) which works the same as the lightning in Lightning Ridge, instantly electrocuting any plants or zombies that might have been caught in the strike and leaving a crater or activating the Plant Food effect of an electric plant in the same tile. Once all of his health depletes, he won't be defeated, but rather, will get knocked out before another lightning comes to strike him to teleport him out of the lawn.
Electric Boogaloo acts like an upgrade of Dancing Zombie, where, instead of Backup Dancers, Electric Boogaloo will summon four Dancing Zombies, which in turn summon three Backup Dancers each (the fourth Backup Dancer for each Dancing Zombie is excluded as the resulting formation that would summon the fourth Backup Dancer would awkwardly spawn many Backup Dancers at the same location Electric Boogaloo is at). This summoning creates a diamond-shaped formation that's three tiles long and three tiles wide.
Electric Boogaloo is also immune to Hypno-shroom's hypnosis effect, but he will still get stunned by them for 5 seconds.

==Strategies==
Electric Boogaloo is essentially a direct upgrade of Dancing Zombie, plus the fact that he can cause lightning strikes on his location when he both enters and exits the lawn. The key to defeating him is to try and use area-of-effect plants so that you can attack Electric Boogaloo through his Dancing Zombies and their Backup Dancers. Plants without this ability will have a hard time trying to land hits on Electric Boogaloo as his Dancing Zombies can just spawn more Backup Dancers on the spot a while after they've been defeated, and Electric Boogaloo can summon more Dancing Zombies just as easily. Luckily, Lightning Ridge, the area which he first appears in, supplies you with many electric plants, where most of them, if not all, have area-of-effect attacks, so utilizing those sorts of plants as much as possible will be of big help to getting rid of Electric Boogaloo. But, however, beware of his lightning strikes. Because lightning will strike him immediately before he exits the lawn, it is best to try and defeat him as quickly as possible before he can reach your defenses by using more firepower against him, as this can cause the same effect as Kite Zombie, where Electric Boogaloo can cause a plant on his tile to be destroyed and leave a crater, causing a breach in your defense. Do keep in mind as well that you cannot use Electric Boogaloo against other zombies using Hypno-shroom as he is immune to hypnosis, albeit he will get temporarily stunned if he eats one.
