This imp was the one who pioneered the technological advances of imp-kind with the introduction of Egg-Tech. He's to be given a Nobel Prize Award thousands of years from now and actually got two for defying time itself to be there to receive his first one.

Once a giddy little farm assistant boy helping his old pa out in the farm, until he heard of the most liked photo on Brainstagram. His opportunistic senses told him what he knew he needed to do. He then went on to look for the biggest egg he could find, which led him to a double life at CropCap as an employee and an egg snatcher. He's still waiting for when he'll finally trend on social media... Any minute now...

**Egg Stealer Imp** is an Imp zombie found in the Expansion levels of Jurassic Marsh. He carries an egg containing an Eggshell Imp. When defeated by a non-fire or lightning attack, he will drop the egg onto the tile he was on, destroying plants on that tile. His speed and frailty allows him to drop Eggshell Imps into parts of the lawn that the player could struggle with.

## Overview

Egg Stealer Imp has 80 health and loses his arm after taking 40 damage. Defeating him will make him drop his egg.

The dropped egg will hatch into an Eggshell Imp as soon as it lands on the ground.

### Important notes

* Being built off of Healer Zombie, Egg Stealer Imp has a hardcoded immunity to poison, shrinking, Noctarine's gas cloud, and Solar Sage's illumination.
	+ Witch Hazel will still target him, but will only deal damage to him instead of transforming him into a Puff-shroom or Toadstool.
	+ Imp Pear will not work on him when eaten, but his Plant Food effect will still target him, dealing damage to him instead of destroying him and release gas.

## Balance changes
