Read the zombie action before the armor.

A plain lane walker with no armor or special action.

Counter: Use it to build economy: one early burst plant or a modest shooter is usually enough.

The cone adds a second layer of durability before the basic zombie is exposed.

Counter: Start steady damage earlier or combine a blocker with focused lane fire.

Heavy bucket armor absorbs substantially more punishment than a cone.

Counter: Reserve burst damage, Plant Food, or concentrated attackers for the lane instead of spreading damage thin.

Ancient Egypt's standard walker and the baseline for its themed variants.

Counter: Keep a simple damage lane; save specialist counters for Ra, Explorer, and Camel groups.

A mummified walker protected by a cobra-style cone.

Counter: Piercing attacks gain value when the cone arrives inside a larger mummy wave.

A durable Egypt lane tank carrying sandy bucket armor.

Counter: Do not let the bucket hide a dangerous special behind it; slow or stall the group while damage stacks.

Attempts to take sun from the board, directly attacking your economy.

Counter: Prioritize the lane quickly. Losing sun can delay the very plant you intended to use as the answer.

Carries a flame capable of removing plants on contact.

Counter: Extinguish or freeze the torch before it reaches an expensive formation; Iceberg Lettuce is a zero-sun emergency option.

A tougher Explorer variant whose torch can destroy plants and scorch tiles.

Counter: Treat it as a priority target. Stack control and ranged damage rather than feeding it replacement plants.

A linked formation that enters in step with other Camel segments.

Counter: Piercing and multi-hit lane attacks work better than repeatedly breaking the formation one target at a time.

Can be thrown beyond much of the front line and continue from inside your formation.

Counter: Keep a cheap rear answer or a plant that can attack behind itself; Bonk Choy can cover both adjacent sides.

A massive Egypt bruiser with enough durability to cross an underbuilt lane.

Counter: Layer slow, burst, and a sacrificial stall. Plan for the thrown Imp rather than spending every tool at the front.

Ancient Egypt's Zomboss machine changes the fight from a normal lane wave into a scripted boss encounter.

Counter: Read the level's supplied plants and telegraphs. Preserve Plant Food for pressure spikes instead of using it on routine summons.

Commands a parrot that can carry a plant away and then return.

Counter: Remove the captain or parrot before it takes a high-cost anchor plant; keep replaceable plants in exposed positions.
