Zollow (テバムラサキホネツバメ Tebamurasaki Hone Tsubame) is a Zombie/Floating variant of Brollow that appears in The Aku Realms and Legend Stages.
Enemy
Zollow, despite appearing much later than his living counterpart, has less health and damage than him while also being slower and only having one knockback as well. But don't treat this enemy lightly, as he has the Toxic ability and a nasty Omni Strike attack to compensate. Thanks to his combination of abilities, he can break through meatshield lines and damage your attackers easily. Zollow revives once, but, unlike most Zombies, does not burrow past cats.
His Toxic ability takes off 80% of a cat's maximum health on top of the 10,000 base damage from his attack, instantly killing most units that have under 50,000 health.
Strategy
This undead bird shouldn't be underestimated. Due to his low health, it is advised to attack him with Long Distance Cats, Wave attack Cats or Surge Attack Cats, killing him before he can land a hit. Using Toxic-immune cats like Talented Riceball Cat, King Nekokhamen and Hades the Punisher work great against him.
His ability to revive once after death can easily mess up the player's backliners if they advance; therefore, Zombie Killers should be brought to deal with him for good. Housewife Cat is an excellent choice, as she has Long Distance and can kill him in one hit.

Trivia
- His Japanese name, Tebamurasaki Hone Tsubame, makes a pun with tebasaki, a chicken wing dish whose name literally means "wingtips", and murasaki, meaning "purple"; the Hone Tsubame part of the name means "bone swallow", with swallow being the species of bird he was based off of.
- His head and, to a lesser extent, his overall body shape when standing upright, are reminiscent of the Seventh Angel in Rebuild of Evangelion, often called Clockiel by fans.
- His collapsing and reassembling animations are reminiscent of the Dry Bones enemies from the Mario series.
- In Greek mythology, the River Styx is a river of misery which draws the line between the underworld and the rest of the world.
- Instead of the River Styx, Zollow's Japanese description mentions the Sanzu River: a river in Japanese Buddhist tradition which the souls of the deceased must cross before they can reach the afterlife.
- His English description has a typo. It says, "Upset that he can't stop the the mass," when it should be, "can't stop the mass."
- Prior to Version 10.7, Zollow wasn't a Floating enemy.
