Some of the most iconic cartoon zombies are the ones featured in Plants VS Zombies. These ghouls are wacky and come in a variety of different forms and attire, but they do share one goal; they want to eat you.

Unfortunately for Nick, he is now a severed head. However, he is far from useless, as his head can be attached to the body of a zombie to take control of it; zombie or not, Nick's reanimated head has plenty of heart.
