New Character Class ideas...

For those that don't know, the character classes are peashooter, cactus, sunflower, engineer, foot soldier, etc.

Variants are Camo Ranger, Hockey Star, etc.

I'm interested in hearing ideas on new character classes. I've already come up with a few in various threads... for example.

Vampire Zombie 

Special Abilities : Bat Swarm (Swarm of bats attack target), Life Syphon (allows you to life drain X amount of health from a plant or summoned zombie ), Bat Whirlwind ( Vampire spins like Taz and surrounded by bats ) Random Teleport (randomly teleports vampire to anyplace on map). Poof of smoke ( non damaging smoke cloud to escape )

Mushroom

Special Abilities : Hypnotize (because this game needs some zany psychadelic looks that screw up someone's controls), Magnetize (takes metal objects off of summoned zombies), Place Plant Pot ( allows them to place a new pot to summon a plant )

Ninja Zombie

Special Abilities - Slice and Dice (tornado move swinging sword), Parkour (increased speed with wall running), Ninja Smoke (smoke cloud for cover), Shuriken ( ninja throwing stars)
