Hypno Zombie (HfEvra)

Hypno Zombie is a zombie. It carries a flower pot with a Hypno-Shroom, which he can use to hypnotize plants. Just like the Wizard Zombie, it usually stays in the back and tries to change the plants, though the Hypno Zombie's ability is much more useful.

Description
The Hypno Zombie looks exactly like a Basic Zombie, but it carries a flower pot with a smaller Hypno-Shroom. It does not have a conehead or buckethead form.

Using his Hypno-Shroom, he can hypnotize plants to make them try to kill other plants. For example if he hypnotizes a peashooter, it will try to kill the plants behind it by shooting peas. But if it hypnotizes a plant like the Sunflower, nothing will happen.

If it hypnotizes a Torchwood, the peas that go through it do not change.

If it hypnotizes any kind of defensive plant, they have to be broken (or the zombie has to be killed) for projectiles like peas to hit the zombies.

Almanac Entry
TOUGHNESS: Dense

SPEED: Stiff

Hypnotizes plants by using his Hypno-Shroom.

The other zombies were impressed when the Hypno Zombie came with a passive Hypno-Shroom in his flower pot. Like the formula of coke, the way to do this is kept a secret. A secret between zombies.

Strategies
This zombie is far more dangerous than the Wizard Zombie, since they usually come in groups of 3, and can hypnotize even the strongest of plants (such as the Winter Melon). Also he acts faster than a Wizard Zombie, which can cause another problem. Dealing with him gets even tougher if he hypnotizes a Tall-nut, since low projectiles like peas cannot get through unless the zombie dies or the plant dies.

If the Hypno Zombie hypnotizes an Infi-nut with its barrier, the barrier will not let projectiles get through, so at that point, close-range plants and insta-kills are very important.

Trivia

 * Ironically, the Hypno Shroom can be hypnotized, but it will instead hypnotize zombies which can be really helpful.
 * A Hypno Zombie cannot remove the effect from a hypnotized Hypno Zombie.
 * Hypnotized plants cannot be shoveled away or cannot be given Plant Food.
 * Hypnotizing this zombie can especially be helpful in boss battles, since it can hypnotize almost all zombies (it cannot hypnotize the boss itself).
 * His clothes do not change based on the location he's in.
