Scrollmoss

Scrollmoss is a seed packet premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, first introduced in 9.4.1 update, along with Teleportato Mine and Tiger Grass. He is first featured as a Penny's Pursuit plant and can be unlocked by collecting 250 seed packets hidden inside Greens Piñata and Seasonal Plant Piñata.
Scrollmoss is a single-use manual plant which when dragged, a trail of dots will show to which zombie he will collide with, and the player can set them manually depending on their favor. Upon releasing him, he will rush towards the target and bounce them back to a different lane, similar to Tumbleweed. After collision, the zombies will gain a slowdown effect for 8.5 seconds and the tile he left will be covered in moss, which acts like a temporary Spikeweed, damaging upcoming zombies from below for 17.6 seconds before disappearing. 
Scrollmoss can be stacked on top of each other to increase his damage, however with increasing sun costs every time the player upgrades a single Scrollmoss. The sun cost will decrease if Scrollmoss is defeated, being used, or shoveled. 
Note that he cannot spread moss on ocean tiles in Pirate Seas, water in Big Wave Beach, nor grid items. He also does not create moss if he collides when doing multi-shots. 
==Origins==
He is based on mosses, small, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic division Bryophyta sensu stricto. His ability to spit out moss clumps behind is a reference to how mosses in real life can spread through fragmentation. 
His design mainly inspired to the loading bar in the original Plants vs. Zombies.

===Spear-mint effect===
When boosted by Spear-mint, Scrollmoss will gain an additional 110 damage for his main attack, and an additional 40 damage for moss pits.
==Strategies==
Scrollmoss is almost identical to Tumbleweed, ranging from his main functionality and has multiple growth stages depending what level he is in. However, unlike Tumbleweed, Scrollmoss is a manual plant which the player can control him manually, and he has larger sun cost and slightly longer recharge time than Tumbleweed. He has an additional ability to leave moss pits behind after colliding with a zombie, and he only stall zombies instead of stunning them like Tumbleweed does, along with can be stacked on top each other to increase its damage output and chance to spit out more mosses, similar to Ultomato. 
Scrollmoss is great against large hordes in later game, as he can slow them down upon collision. Planting any defensive plants behind the moss pits he left is a great strategy to counteract numerous zombies in a single tile, despite its limited lifespan. 
Being a manual plant, the player must be cautious to aim him to which zombies the player wants to shove onto. Despite being a good plant to counter against large hordes, there will be sometimes where he hits a zombie the player doesn't want to hit. Some zombies that are immune to knockbacks such as Jurassic Bully and his veteran counterpart can be troublesome for the player. Despite this however, they still can be stalled after the collision. 
The player also has to be cautious against some zombies that are able to destroy the moss pits and interacting with them. Levels with Gargantuars in it can be a huge risk for the moss pits, as they can crush them into bits when encountering it. There are zombies that can interact with the moss pits without destroying them, like Wizard Zombies who can transform moss pits into sheep and Excavator Zombies who can shovel moss pits to the back.

==Trivia==
*This plant is created for the annual 2024 Plant Contest, hosted by Aster.
*When Scrollmoss colliding with a zombie, a shower of flower petals will fall to the floor before disappearing, which is inspired to both "daisies" and "pinata" codes in the original Plants vs. Zombies.
* Despite moss pits can be destroyed and interacted by certain zombies, it doesn't count as losing a plant nor decreasing planting limitation.
*Unlike Spikeweed, moss pits cannot destroy Barrel Roller Zombie's barrel nor Pianist Zombie's piano, rather they keep damaging them like usual.
*Similar to Timid Thorn, Scrollmoss does not have a Plant Food ability despite not being an instant-use plant.
