## Strategies

### General

Troglobites can be very dangerous, as they can quickly crush plants on the front columns, so when they stop to rest, it is recommended to use Hot Potato to melt the frozen block closest to a plant. Lobbing plants like Pepper-pult are recommended only if not teamed with Weasel Hoarder. It is also recommended to bring a plant-like Fume-shroom or Laser Bean, that can hit the frozen blocks as well as the Troglobite himself.

Using powerful, high damage output plants with thawing abilities such as Fire Peashooter can quickly eliminate the frozen blocks, and when accompanied by other plants such as Cabbage-pult the blocks will not be a problem. Keep in mind, however, that the blocks, even if weak, will provide a moderate shield for zombies.

Infi-nut's force field (when fed with Plant Food) blocks Troglobite from pushing frozen Yeti Imps over their barriers, making them useful plants to pick when facing against him. It is also useful to note that Troglobites cannot push frozen blocks over ice floes, making them a way to block Troglobites. Do not forget that the Troglobite can also push any frozen plant that he encounters, making him even more dangerous to your defenses.

Holly Barrier may be useful to defeat Troglobite, since projectiles launched by it can destroy the row of ice blocks pushed by Troglobite, and also make shields against other zombies.

Jalapeño is also an easy way to deal with Troglobite, as its fire destroys both the frozen blocks and the Yeti Imps themselves.

When a Troglobite is pushing a Sasquatch Imp in a frozen block, it could be slightly harder to deal with, considering that Jalapeño cannot destroy the imp itself. However, since he only pushes one, you can adjust your defenses around that to successfully deal with these threats.

### Toymaker Troglobite

Considering how Toymaker Troglobite's present boxes cannot be melted by Hot Potato or be thawed by fire plants, have more health, and carry varying threats that aren't revealed until the present box is destroyed, Toymaker Troglobite is definitely a big threat. However, other than that, you can apply the same ways you normally deal to Troglobites to Toymaker Troglobite, like using Jalapeño against them.

Note that you can also plant on present boxes, so you can use that to your own advantage.
