Plichensaurus

Plichensaurus is a is a in introduced for the Prehistoric season.
Plichensaurus is an aquatic plant that bites the zombie that he haves in front of him, the atack is very similar to to 's when he can't eat a zombie, it haves the same range and speed.
However every 15 seconds Plichensaurus makes two clones of himself in a 3x3 area arround him. He only can replicate in aquatic tiles that are not covered by an aquatic or flying plant.
Like Tangle Kelp he dies if the tide goes out. 
==Origins==
He is based on the members of the order Plesiosauroidea, an extinct clade of carnivorous marine reptiles characterized by their long necks.
He is also based in the lichens, composite organisms that arise from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi species in a mutualistic relationship.
His name is a pun between "lichen" and "Plesiosaurs".

==Strategies==
In the first seconds Plichensaurus can have a similar funtion to Sea-shroom, being a cheap aquatic plant that atacks nearby. However due to his duplication abillity it can be useful against most of aquatic zombies like Fisherman Zombie and Octo Zombie.
Due to this a recomendation can be planting it in some of the right aquatic tiles, this will allow him to replicate into another tiles without being affected and with the chance of repeating this indefinitely.
One of Plichensaurus' main weakness is that is the he can't survive if the tide goes out, due to this is recomendable to have some copies in the columns of the left and using Plant Food if you notice that the tide is going out.

==Trivia==
*His almanac entry is one of the few in the franchise that reference Plants vs. Zombies as a game.
*There were two scrapped abilities for this plant:
**One of them was a short ranged shooter, scrapped because it was too similar to Sea-shroom
**Other was inspired in the Sculk Catalyst from Minecraft, scrapped due to unknown reasons.
