Zombies have odd names

Product: Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
Please provide your Xbox gamertag or PSN ID. (Optional)
In what game mode did the bug occur? Everywhere
Summarize your bug Not really a bug, but since the devs dont seem to check the General discussion forums, i'll post it here. Some of the Zombies have "zombie" at the end of their names.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Its in the character selection menu.
Which character were you playing when the bug occurred? Peashooter
What upgrades had you equipped with this character? N/A
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)

How come some of the zombies have the word "zombie" at the end of their name?
Foot Soldier Zombie

Space Cadet Zombie
Scientist Zombie
Engineer Zombie

yet all the other zombies are just.. their names.

Imp

Super Brainz

80s action hero

Electric Slide

Captain Dreadbeard

All-Star

Wizard

None of the plants suffer this trait, what gives?
Is this simply an oversight? im pretty sure they're not supposed to have "zombie" at the end of their names, seeing as how thats kind of redundant and unnecessary.

  • @Mysterymaster_OP Thanks for the report.  I believe this was intentional due to those characters having names with a real world profession, and we needed to differentiate them for legal reasons.

    Edit: Correction, it was a brand request.

    That's a bit of an odd reason, seeing as how i don't remember it being that way in the garden warfare games, but its a reason nonetheless. thanks for explaining
