What zombie wears a traffic cone for protection?

The zombie that wears a traffic cone for protection is the Conehead Zombie. Its orange road cone acts as extra armor, allowing it to withstand more damage than a basic Browncoat Zombie before the zombie itself is defeated.

Conehead Zombie is one of the early tougher enemies in Plants vs. Zombies. The cone is not merely a decoration: plants must first destroy the cone, after which the zombie continues forward with the durability of a regular zombie. This makes Coneheads an important early lesson in using enough firepower and arranging defenses effectively.

It is easy to confuse the Conehead Zombie with the Buckethead Zombie, which wears a metal bucket and is considerably tougher. The Pole Vaulting Zombie also appears early and can leap over the first plant it encounters, but it does not use a traffic cone for protection. The Conehead's distinctive roadwork-style headgear is the feature that gives it its name.
