Aqua Pea (Chickenwastaken)

Aqua Pea is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 8.9.1 update, and an upcoming plant in Plants vs. Zombies: Save The World. He shoots watery peas that slow down zombies, and eventually chills and freezes them.
== About ==
Aqua Pea costs 125 sun and he can shoot peas every 3 seconds that slow down zombies. After a while, the zombies will become chilled, and after 20 seconds the zombie will be frozen for 5 seconds. He can also do 10 splash damage in a 1x3 area in front of the zombie, however it does not chill nor freeze them. 
The zombies will be slowed down by a quarter, and the chill effect does not stack multiple times. His projectile will also slow down zombies upon impact. 
Aqua Pea can be planted on water without the help of a Lily Pad. If he is planted on water, he will be partially submerged to the water. 
If zombies are in the water, Aqua Pea will be able to freeze them much faster. He will now freeze them within 10 seconds.
If he is planted on Frostbite Caves, Aqua Pea will turn into its frozen form. Aqua Pea will no longer be able to slow down, chill, and freeze zombies, but he will deal 90 DPS instead of 30. He will also become immune to cold. If you want to turn him into his water form however, you must plant a Hot Potato on him. Zombies will also freeze twice as fast.
Aqua Pea can be unlocked for 250 seed packets, and the player can do so by playing his tournament named "Aqua Pea's Wet Season!" which was available from March 22 to April 21, 2021. If you missed it, you can still obtain his seed packets from Big Wave Beach piñatas or the Cold Plants piñatas.
==Origins==
Like most other peashooting plants, he is based on pisum sativum, commonly known as the pea. 
His almanac entry points out how he loves to scare plants by hiding in the water, with only his white glowing eyes showing. This refers to his appearance when he is planted on water.

===Plant Food effect===
When given plant food, Aqua Pea will summon 10 peas that will drop from the sky. These peas will do 600 damage. If he is in water however, the peas will do splash damage in a 3x3 area that deals 50 DPS.
===Winter-mint effect===
When Winter-mint is on the lawn, Aqua Pea will now deal 160 DPS, and his splash damage now deals 30 DPS more. He will also freeze zombies within 10 seconds, 5 seconds in water. His frozen form will deal 210 damage instead of 90. His plant food effect gains an additional 300 DPS, and his splash damage deals 75 DPS if he is in water.

==Strategies==
Aqua Pea can be useful to slow down and damage high health zombies, as well as freezing them. This can give more time for other plants to attack, and it also gives you time to plant more powerful plants.
If you have a Level 5 Snow Pea (or higher), pairing them with Aqua Pea is a good idea. They would freeze zombies in place, not letting them move for a while. This would be useful against large hordes of zombies.
He would be useful to use on water levels, as he can be planted on water without the need of planting a Lily Pad. This could save you some sun if you are planting multiple of them.
The player should use them on Frostbite Caves, as Aqua Pea will turn into its frozen form which deals much more damage. However, he cannot slow down, chill, or freeze zombies anymore, but that can be easily solved by planting a Hot Potato on him. By doing so, he will turn back into his water form, and can freeze zombies faster.
His projectiles are solid, so using them against Jester Zombies is a bad idea as they can deflect them back. He also shouldn't be used against Excavator Zombies, as they will block his peas. He will still be slowed down, however.
