Having no special defensive equipment or travel abilities, these zombies are susceptible to any type of attack and are slow to approach the player's house. They are found in most levels and are the first zombies the player encounters in every single world. The Conehead Zombie, Buckethead Zombie, Camel Zombies, Knight Zombie, Blockhead Zombie, Bug Zombie, Jurassic Fossilhead, Brickhead Zombie, Centurion Zombie, Roman Shield Zombie, and Admiral Helmet Zombie become this zombie when their armor is destroyed.

Due to their low health and average speed, Basic Zombies shouldn't be an issue for any player to deal with, especially if one is by themselves. They are the first zombie to appear in almost every level and give enough of a time frame to allow multiple sun-producing plants to be planted. Potato Mines or Squashes can be planted as cheap instant kills to destroy these zombies with little effort while planting more sun producers, stall out with plants such as Stunion or Iceberg Lettuce, or plant cheap defenses such as Peashooter or Cabbage-pult.
Certain Zombie variants can cause more trouble than others, such as Cave Zombie's immunity to being frozen, Cowboy Zombie being affected by Pianist Zombie's music, or Peasant Zombie being knighted by Zombie King, but usually it is the other zombie causing problems and not the basic zombie variant themselves.

Digger Zombie is a zombie that digs beneath the yard using his pickaxe, eventually emerging on the left side of the lawn to attack the player's plants from behind. He wears a helmet to protect himself. He pauses for five seconds after resurfacing before proceeding to eat the player's plants. He is not present on Roof levels, as there is no soil to dig through, but does appear on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation 3's Co-op Roof level. Without advance preparation, they have the potential to do devastating damage to lanes of plants. Note that he eats the plants from left to right like Prospector Zombie and zombies carried by pterodactyls in the second game. He never makes an attempt to get into the player's house, unless if his pickaxe gets stolen by a Magnet-shroom. He is the 18th zombie encountered in Adventure Mode.
