Troll Zombie

Troll Zombie is a zombie encountered in Penny's Pursuit and Arena in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Troll Zombie acts like a basic Gargantuar, but with a bit more health, slower movement speed, and no Imp to throw.
Troll Zombie also cannot be frozen, slowed by perfume, chilled, stunned, or knocked back. Troll Zombie is also fully immune to fire attacks and takes half damage from fire peas, explosions, and electric attacks, and can walk over Spikeweed and Spikerock without being hurt.
== Origin: ==
Troll Zombie is based on a troll, a mythical, cave-dwelling being depicted in folklore as either a giant or a dwarf, typically having a very ugly appearance. He is mainly based on one of the three hill-trolls from the book The Hobbit, who are incredibly stupid but giant and nearly-invulnerable to damage.
== Appearance: ==
Troll Zombie is based on the appearance of a hill troll from The Hobbit, with a large body, stupid-looking expression, and a lack of clothes other than a pair of crudely-constructed suspenders. He also has two left feet, a typical analogy for clumsiness. This may be a reference to the clumsiness of typical mythological trolls, especially the hill trolls it is based on. 
== Overview ==
Troll Zombie, although slow, can be incredibly dangerous if you are caught off-guard. His immunities to status effect absolutely ruin most strategies, and his resistance to certain types of damage can make his already-appreciable health seem much higher when using Plants he is strong against.

== Strategy ==
Due to Troll Zombie's massive amount of immunities, fighting against him can be incredibly annoying. If you know that Troll Zombie is going to be in a level, it is recommended to bring Plants that he isn't strong against, such as basic attackers like Bowling Bulb or Melon-pult. Also remember that he takes half damage from explosions, meaning that crowd clearers such as Cherry Bomb or Primal Potato Mine will be much less effective against him, so plan accordingly. Mainly though, just treat him like you would treat a Gargantuar, as his increased health and immunities shouldn't affect your strategy too much unless you are very focused on things he's strong against.
Luckily, there are a few effects that Troll Zombie is not immune to. First, Troll Zombie can be buttered to trap him in place temporarily. This can be useful if you have a high-level Kernel-pult and are having trouble facing Troll Zombie, but will most likely be unhelpful due to Kernel-pult's RNG aspect and the low stun time. Secondly, Troll Zombie can be poisoned by poisonus plants like Shadow-shroom and Goo Peashooter. This is altogether the most efficient way to take out Troll Zombie as it can quickly shred through his appreciatable health, but be careful if there is a Healer Zombie nearby as it can remove the poison, altogether making this strategy worthless.
