Skelectrophycus (PvZ2)

Skeletrophycus is a plant made for Cretaceous-themed worlds. It is a small and weak plant, that shoots electric sparks at close range dealing splash damage in a 1x1 area. 10 seconds after it was eaten, it will come back to life, and start attacking again
==Origins and appearance==
This plant is based on a skeleton, a structure made out of bones that supports the body of an individual, and the Electrophycus, a genus of terrestrial algae from the Chaetophoraceans that was found in amber coming from the Middle Cretaceous of Myanmar.
The Skelectrophycus has 4 small stems, ressembling bones and greyish in color, with a central one bearing a head-like protuberance along two small cute eyes. His front stems with spread a bit and emit blue sparks when he attacks. Upon being vanquished, he will drop into a pile of bones, that will start twirling and floating before getting back together

==Plant food effect==
When fed Plant Food, all Skelectrophycus on the field will charge up and launch forward an electric sphere, dealing 450 damage in a 1x1 area
==Strategies==
Similarly to a Puff-Shroom, this plant is mostly useful as an early form of defense, since it has a low cost, low DPS and a low toughness. It however shines by it's attack, which is able to deal area damage, and by its ability, which basically gives you a 100% reusable defense if it gets destroyed for a small price. This price, as you can guess, is kind of a problem, since many worlds may require to use even cheaper plants as your first defense, and even later, they can get outclassed by a Spikeweed or even a Lightning Reed, so compare other alternatives before using Skelectrophycuses. An easy strategy, which may take a moment to set down, would be to place down multiple columns of them ; this would easily dispatch weaker zombies, and when the stronger ones come, these can dig through your defenses without leaving any permanent mark and get mowed down by stronger plants like Citrons or Coconut Cannons. Excepted a few zombies, such as the Explorer Zombie or the Jurassic Rockpuncher, every single zombie won't kill it permanently, allowing a wide range of uses, such as against very close enemies who will all take damage from a single attack if they are on the same tile. Be careful however, as it can very easily get overwhelmed and won't take down by itself a Basic Zombie.
