Dr. Krankcase

Leader of the Zombies

***"You know, I could keep this up all day if I wanted to, but I don't. So let's make things easy for all of us... and allow me to eradicate you right now."** ~ Dr. Krankcase*

**Dr. Krankcase** is the creator of the EEES. He is the main antagonist of the Plants vs. Zombies Plush episode *Just What the Doctor Ordered.* Although originating from the Skylanders series, Dr. Krankcase had collaborated with Dr. Zomboss to create the EEEEEEES. But unbeknownst to Dr. Zomboss, Krankcase knows that the EEE's don't really work, and is scamming him for money of personal gain. He later appeared as the 2nd wave boss against the zombies in *The Boss Hunt Part 2,* where he fought the Graveyard Ops, but was ultimately defeated by Battalion in the end.

## Background

With a PhD in B.A.D., Dr. Krankcase knows how to sneakily craft dastardly creations using his very own formula for magic goo. The goo brought not only the EEEs to life, but also Dumb Drum and the Evilikin. Originally working for the Doom Raiders, Dr. Krankcase had been contacted by Dr. Zomboss as someone to assist with creating the perfect zombies! To create the perfect zombies, an extraction of Zombie DNA was required. However, it was revealed that in "Just What The Doctor Ordered" that the EEEs don't actually work, but he certainly gets paid heavily for his efforts. In other words, he was scamming Dr. Zomboss all along, until Coney, Newspaper, and Captain Bubblebeard finally learned the secret of the EEEs, defeated Dr. Krankcase, and freed Head Zombie.

It's also revealed that Dr. Krankcase was responsible for giving Paco her new look via surgery in the episode *Lobber's Balloon Buster Bonanza.*

## Appearance

Dr. Krankcase has a very large, silly, red top hat. He also wields green steampunk goggles which commonly sit on his hat. He has blue hair, only seen from his back. He wears a white shirt with yellow buttons and with a red coat. He also has red gloves. His bottom halve is completely chopped off, and has been replaced with wooden legs.

## Personality

Similarly to his Skylanders counterpart, Dr. Krankcase may appear like a perky and friendly character, in all actuality he is a dark and evil doctor. He is also seen as greedy, as he mainly desired money from Dr. Zomboss when creating the EEEs.
