Ra Zombie isn't actually named after the Sun God Ra, though that's a common mistake. He just likes to say 'Ra' a lot.

**Ra Zombie** is the first special zombie encountered in Ancient Egypt in *Alternate UniverZ*. He will attempt to steal the player's sun by using his staff to attract the sun on the lawn. When Ra Zombie is defeated, he will release all the sun he has accumulated.

Went through an "arm attachment" surgery to improve her staff holding skill. How does that help, you may ask? Flexibility, she says, through we couldn't find an expert that would take us seriously to confirm this.

## Strategies

### General

Just like a regular zombie, Ra Zombie is very simple to defeat. Try not to let him steal sun, otherwise other zombies have the potential to get in the way, which can prevent you from defeating this zombie easily. To prevent him from stealing sun, simply take the sun before it reaches his scepter. This is easy to do, as sun turns red when Ra Zombie tries to steal it, alerting the player of what he is attempting to do. Additionally, Ra Zombie doesn't steal sun particularly fast, so you should have plenty of time to grab it before he can. When time is vital, delaying his snatching of sun by collecting it at the last moment buys time, as he stays still when stealing sun. This can help early on in some levels by letting you get up more sun production, or stalling for Potato Mines.

### Sunshine Charmer

Sunshine Charmer can be a nuisance if not dealt with immediately. The player can use stunning plants like Iceberg Lettuce and Kernel-pult to stop her from stunning your sun-producing plants plant further, or defensive plants like Wall-nut or Endurian to prevent her from reaching the seventh column for her to stun. Raw damage is also an option, as well as insta-kill plants, which make short work of her if you are out of options.

There are several sun-producing plants that aren't affected by Sunshine Charmer's ability, like Sun Bean, Gold Leaf, Toadstool or Solar Tomato. These plants are especially useful in SS-VII, where all of your sun-producing plants will be permanently stunned at a certain point by Sunshine Charmer's ability.
