Imp Dragon Zombie

Spit past most your defenses, then claws forward.

Imp Zombie knows he's too old to wear a dragon costume like a kid on Halloween. But he doesn't care. Let the others judge. His spirit animal is a dragon, and he feels closer to his true self when he's dressed like this.

**Imp Dragon Zombie** is the eleventh zombie encountered in Dark Ages in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. He is an Imp dressed like a dragon and behaves like a normal Imp, except he's immune to all fire damage, which includes explosives like Cherry Bomb.

Unlike most zombies, his only appearances are in the boss fight and endless zone of his world, and five levels in Modern Day.

## Strategies

Imp Dragon Zombies are spawned during the battle with Dr. Zomboss and his Zombot Dark Dragon and also appear in Arthur's Challenge and Modern Day. Due to having an immunity to explosions (Jalapeno and Cherry Bomb) and fire projectiles such as a fire peas, you will need to kill this zombie quickly when spawned from Dr. Zomboss by using Fume-shrooms or Pea-nuts. Avoid using Snapdragons and Torchwoods against this Imp, as they deal no damage against him. It is recommended to use non-fire plants and Plant Food on your Winter Melons to destroy these types in groups.

So far, Imp Dragon Zombie is immune to the attacks of the following plants:

* Snapdragon
* Cherry Bomb
* Jalapeno
* Torchwood
* Fire Peashooter
* Pepper-pult
* Peas that pass through Torchwood (fire peas of any kind)
* Lava Guava
* Jack O' Lantern
* Grapeshot's explosion (but not the bouncing grapes)
* Wasabi Whip

* Bombegranate (but not the seeds it leaves behind)
* Pepper-mint

## Trivia

* If an Imp Dragon Zombie is killed by Lightning Reed or Magnifying Grass' Plant Food, it will not get electrocuted; instead, its head disappears.
	+ Even though lightning reed is considered a plant that scorches zombies (He, Cherry Bomb, and Jalapeno are mentioned in the "Burn Zombies to Ash" quest), the Imp dragon is not immune to him.
	+ Similarly, even though the lightning reed and the magnifying grass technically use a heat-based attack from high-intensity electricity flow and light beams, the imp dragon is somehow immune to, or at least does not resist the attacks. Though it can be argued that the temperature was far higher in single concentrations than plants like Snapdragon for the fire-proof costume to be able to resist them.
* Imp Dragon Zombies and Yeti Imps are the only imps that have an elemental resistance. Imp dragons are immune to flame attacks, and yeti imps are resistant to freeze effects, though other effects of ice-based plants take place normally.
* Imp Dragon Zombie and Lost Guide Zombie are the only non Zombots to only appear in one level of their main world.
* Ghost Pepper is the only Pepper-mint family plant that can actually kill this zombie.
	+ However, recently, for an unknown reason, Hot Date can also kill this zombie despite having fire attack. This may be a glitch or not.
