Devil's Claw

Devil's Claw is a close-ranged Plant in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Suburbia Defenders. She is unlocked after beating Night 21 of Ghastly Graveyard, and is the 7th Plant to be unlocked there.
When a Zombie gets within 1.5 tiles of Devil's Claw, it will begin attacking by scratching it with its oversized claws. Devil's Claw attacks every 4 seconds and deals 1.5 damage, twice.
Devil's Claw also has a 5% chance for one of its claws to pop off and stick to the damaged Zombie, dealing constant damage over time. This deals 1 damage every second until the Zombie dies, and ignores armor. Devil's Claw takes 5 seconds to regrow lost claws and will attack one time fewer for each claw lost.
==Origins:==
Devil's Claw is based on the Proboscidea flower, a small flower that grows giant, claw-shaped seed pods designed to stick to animals in order to spread its seeds.
== Overview ==
With a slow attack that does moderate damage, Devil's Claw can be thought of as a bridge between Bonk Choy and Hedgehammer. Because of this, it works well when you need some extra damage without the massive crowd control you'd use Hedgehammer for. Its ability to attack twice per attack cycle is also a nice bonus when dealing with weaker Zombies, as it can kill the first Zombie and damage Zombies behind it.

==Plant Food Powers:==
===Plant Food 1===
When Devil's Claw uses a Plant Food, Devil's Claw spins around once, scratching all Zombies in a 3x3 area around it once and gaining a temporary attack buff based on the amount of Zombies hurt.
==Power Mint Abilities:==
===Enforce-mint===
When boosted by Enforce-mint, Devil's Claw attacks four times instead of two and recharges its claws twice as fast.
== Strategies ==
Use Devil's Claw as a stronger, but slower Bonk Choy. Because it attacks slowly but powerfully, it is recommended to bring some support when using it as the main attacker, to weaken stronger Zombies and take out weak hordes. Otherwise, it is best suited as a supportive attacker, as it can quickly shred through weakened Zombies left behind from Plants like Laser Bean or Fume-shroom. Its Genetic Levels are very interesting, giving it much higher damage, at the cost of a very high cost and it's claws popping off more often and dealing less damage. Because of this, upgrades are very good if you are looking to use it as support where the time of uselessness isn't as important, but can be very dangerous if you are using it as your main damage dealer.
