Shot-shroom

The Shot-shroom is a mushroom plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Final Showdown that fires off special "shell spores", which travel only four spaces, but deal quite heavy damage (up to 80 damage per shot) to zombies that are close to the Shot-shroom.
Zombies at the edge of its range take quite low damage (as low as 20 damage per shot) from its shots, so it's best to put Shot-shrooms near your front lines to maximize their damage.
It is unlocked after beating Night 5 of Dark Volcano.

==Origin==
His apperance and method of attack are based on a shotgun, a weapon most effective at close ranges. His name is a portmanteau of "shotgun", referring to the weapon this is based on, and "mushroom", the type of plant this plant is based on.
==Appearance==
A mushroom with a long thin, horizontal purple cap and two holes in the front end of the cap, as well as eyes on the stalk.
==Almanac Entry==
Shot-shroom

Range: medium
Firing speed: slow
Plant Food effect: shoots a giant shell spore which does 20x damage!
Sleeps during the day
Shot-shroom has always wanted to engage a Scientist Zombie in close-quarters combat, and see which is the better shotgun, that Zomboss Goo Blaster or his own foul mouth. And trust me, his mouth can be very foul sometimes.
Cost: 100
Recharge: very fast
==Plant Food==
It shoots a giant shell spore that deals 20 times the normal damage, meaning 80nds at point-blank range. Not particularly effective overall.
==Strategies==
It's a good idea to put Shot-shrooms right behind defensive plants, as at that distance, they deal quite heavy damage and can rival Bonk Choys for attack damage, while still providing support fire if no zombies are attacking the defensive plant. Shot-shrooms on their own can take out regular zombies very easily, but struggle with Coneheads or stronger, so be sure to give them protection!
Don't try to use them during the day. In general, there are better options, both short and long-ranged, than a 175 sun Shot-shroom.
