The Newspaper Zombie is a low-health zombie reading an upside-down newspaper. When it loses it's newspaper, it gets angry and faster. It appears to be an elderly person with glasses and heart-patterned boxers. When your plants destroy the newspaper, it pauses, a question mark appears above his head, then it quickly charges forward at your plants in a rage. Melon-pults, Winter Melons, Fume-shrooms and Gloom-shrooms damage both the zombie and the newspaper at the same time. It Is first encountered in Adventure Mode level 2-1. It is the sixth Zombie to be encountered in Adventure Mode.
Absorbs 16 normal damage shots. Newspaper absorbs 8 normal damage shots. Appearance changes upon absorption of 4 normal damage shots and dies after 8 normal damage shots. Newspaper's appearance changes upon absorption of 3 and 6 normal damage shots and is destroyed after 8 normal damage shots.
The newspaper is useless against the lobbed-shot plants, instants, the Fume-shroom, and the Gloom-shroom. In Wall-nut Bowling and Wall-nut Bowling 2, the zombie loses the newspaper after being hit by one Wall-nut, and dies after a second hit, like the Conehead Zombie. The Newspaper Zombie pauses and charges very quickly towards the end of the row after your plants destroy the newspaper, so you will need to be fast in order to kill it. The Snow Pea, Winter Melon, or Ice-shroom are effective for this, as they can slow its movement leaving plenty of time to kill it. If you are facing multiple Newspaper Zombies, Ice-shrooms and Peashooters can be used effectively to paralyze and kill them.
