Christmas Stalking

Christmas Stalkings are shadow plants that wait until a zombie is on their tile, at which point they hit that zombie with a flurry of chilling 100 damage slashes. This lasts for 3 seconds. When a Christmas Stalking is powered by Moonflower or Conceal-mint, its slashing duration increases by 2 seconds and it can attack the tile in front of it as well. Christmas Stalking's main weakness is imps, because since Christmas Stalkings levitate off the ground so their slashing is kind of high up, imps just walk right under it.
When a Christmas Stalking is given plant food, it will stretch its claw to cover all the tiles in front of it for 3 seconds, dealing 1200 damage to all zombies on those tiles. Christmas Stalking is unlocked by beating Arctic Isles - Day 27.
==Origins==
Christmas stalking is primarily based on a stalk, a stiff stem that is a part of some plants. It is also heavily based on a Christmas stocking, a large sock that people hang over their fireplaces and then find presents in the next morning.

Christmas Stalking's name is a portmanteau of Christmas stocking, referencing the object is based on, and stalk, representing the other thing it's based on. The word stalking in its name is also a pun on how it "stalks" zombies.

== Strategies ==
If not used blindly, Christmas Stalking can be a serious threat. Even though its toughness being less than Celery Stalker's certainly leaves some to be desired, Christmas Stalking cancels out that drawback by not having to attack when the target is behind it. Additionally, when paired with a wall plant, you can cause some tough-to-deal-with zombies to die without much effort. The only drawback to this is that, similar to Celery Stalker, Christmas Stalking is vulnerable to zombies in front of it when attacking.
Christmas Stalkings can be used as a counter to Gargantuars, because if you put a Christmas Stalking on its tile, the Gargantuar can't smash it.
Christmas Stalking should not be used when fire plants are around though, because their flames counteract Christmas Stalking's chilling ability. Or, dare I say it, a-chill-ity! (Sorry.)
Christmas Stalking is best when paired with Moonflower, because it gives Christmas Stalking the ability to attack in front of him as well, which can make short work of most zombies.
As if it wasn't obvious already, Christmas Stalking and Celery Stalker are very similar, which means they're both big threats to zombies but have some drawbacks. The strategies I just discussed can be used for Celery Stalker too, but if you want more straightforward damage, Christmas Stalking is just generally better.
