Cooksonia

Cooksonia is the third unlocked in The Coal Forest in Plants vs. Zombies 2
Cooksonia cooks pieces of and Mega-Arthropods to throw to the zombies and burn them. Cooksonia takes the armor that zombies drop to the ground and the deceased Mega-Arthropods to make up his projectiles. He can only use items in a 3x3 area. When attacking, the zombie must be close enough for Cooksonia to shoot the projectile at them.
Cooksonia is also a heating plant, which is capable of emitting heat every 6 seconds that gradually thaws frozen or chilled plants in a 3x3 area.
==Overview==
Cooksonia waits for an armored zombie or Mega-arthropod to die in his area (3x3), then, he picks up the armor or the corpse, cooks it, and throws it to the zombies in his lane. More details about the projectiles here:
*Cone: Will progressively burn the zombie by 10 damage per 3 seconds.
*Maga-Arthropods and Bucket: Will progressively burn the zombie by 25 damage per second, when hit, the zombie has a 20% chance of die burned.
*Bricks: Will deal 50 direct damage, and 10 splash damage to the zombie when hit.
==Origins==
Cooksonia is based on an extinct plant with the same name from the real life, a Cooksonia, an extinct group of primitive land plants, treated as a genus. 
His name is a portmanteau of "Cooksonia" the plant it is based on, and the word "cook".

==Strategies ==
Cooksonia uses his Frying pan to cook some items, then he throws them to the zombies! However, due to most of the items he cooks being only available in The Coal Forest, his full potential can only be used in this world. Nevertheless, he can still fry any type of cones and buckets, the latter being the most powerful agains the Zombies.
Take in mind that Cooksonia can only attack if any Mega-Arthropod close to him or if any zombie dropped their cone or bucket near, he also can’t cook more than one item at a time, so defeating lots of zombies or making them lose their armor near Cooksonia won’t work, as, I mentioned before, he can only fry 1 item at a time.
Just like any fire plant, Cooksonia works great on , his projectiles may melt the ice plant are trapped in, plus, whenever he is cooking, he’ll emit heat.
==Trivia== 
*The sound it makes after cooking an Mega-Athropod was recorded while frying Endy’s breakfast
