Prospector Zombie is the fifth zombie encountered in the Wild West. His dynamite detonates after the zombie reaches the second column from the right, launching him behind the player's defenses. He then turns around and eats his way back to the right side of the screen. He functions similarly to the Digger Zombie from Plants vs. Zombies, but instead of burrowing and surfacing at the very left, he appears vulnerably in the lawn and only reaches the back after his dynamite explodes. The dynamite can be extinguished by Iceberg Lettuces, Snow Peas, Winter Melons, Hurrikales, Cold Snapdragons, Winter-mints, Ice Blooms (provided that he does not turn into an ice block), Boingsettas, and Iceweeds, and it also can be relighted by fire attacks such as the one from Snapdragon. While he is being launched and he is in mid-air, he can be blown away by Blover.
