Dumb Cane

Dumb Cane deals 15 damage to any zombies that decided to chow down on him, punishing them with the universal rule of never eating something if you don't know what it is. Firstly they will get a little shock (lasting 3 seconds), finally they will get the large shock as they realise their stinky mouths are paralysed (lasting 9 seconds); the victims will then stay in idle animation or walking animation if they can before they recover and restart their onslaught again.
It's best to bear in mind “non-organic plant eaters" (machines, gargantuars, etc…) because they can't get poisoned, since that's not how poison works, so they will just do what they were doing and won't react differently.
== Origin==
Dumb Cane is well… based on the Dumb Cane (Dieffenbachia or Dieffenbachia Imperialis if you want to be scientific and specific, also commonly known as leopard lily)! Its ability to shutdown somebody's jaw is similar to the real-life counterpart, where a moment of speechlessness can occur after chewing a piece of the stem.

==Strategy==
Because of its long survivability harshly affected by “non-organic plant eaters”, it’s often referred to as a barricade than classified as a stall especially with the help of its upgrades - nonetheless both synergise with melee plants like Celery Stalker or Tiger Grass, or disunite with to-be-eaten plants like Imp Pear or Kiwibeast.
This plant could be most helpful at between early game and mid-wave since it is fairly cheap by that time to pause enough zombies until you complete your more sustainable defense in the late game.
==Upgrades==
With plant food or with respective mints, the selected Dumb Cane fully restores with being able to regenerate itself by 225 once not under attack and now blocks gliding zombies as well. Its next group of victims although recover at the exact same speed, their bite damage then are permanently halved (does not stack).

==Trivia ==
If an enemy managed to get to your house while still being paralysed, the death screen will appear as "THE ZOMBIES STOLE YOUR BRAINS" instead of "THE ZOMBIES ATE YOUR BRAINS".
