Squid-shroom

Squid-shroom is a plant obtained in Big Wave Beach in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
Squid-shroom shoots a stunning ink liquid at zombies in 4 tiles ahead of him with the same attack speed as a Puff-shroom, stunning a zombie it hits for half a second but does not deal damage. Squid-shroom is also an amphibious plant, capable of being planted on both water and land; when planted on water, Squid-shroom's attack now can stun all zombies in a 1x1 area.
Squid-shroom has an unique interaction with Octo Zombie: when an Octo Zombie enters Squid-shroom's lane, he will immediately prioritize him by shooting ink liquid directly at Octo Zombie regardless of the range. Ink liquid stuns Octo Zombies significantly longer for 12 seconds compared to the rest of zombies. However, when the effect wears off, Octo Zombies are temporarily immune to Squid-shroom's ink for 6 seconds.
== Origins ==
Squid-shroom's overall design is a cross between a Sea-shroom from the original Plants vs. Zombies game (though he is colored light blue instead of green) and a squid due to his cap resembling to a squid's fin.
Squid-shroom's ability to use inks attack is a reference how many squid species can eject a cloud of ink to distract predators.

== Trivia ==
* This plant is a reimagination of the original Squid-shroom (seen above), which was one of creations of mine created in 2016 with a completely new appearance and abilities.
**Squid-shroom's original ability involves electricity and hovers above the ground (kinda weird). His new ability is now accurate to a real-life squid.
*** Squid-shroom's design, especially his squid-like cap reutilizes the creator's depiction of Sea-shroom in 2019, but colored light blue.
* Squid-shroom was originally intended to be Sea-shroom but with the exact ability Squid-shroom has before the creator decided that it would be Squid-shroom.
**Turns out that Sea-shroom eventually is going to return in PvZ2.
* He is arch-nemesis to Octo Zombie, according to his Almanac entry, referring to his special ability of prioritizing Octo Zombie. This is a similar vein to Witch Hazel being arch-nemesis to Wizard Zombie, whom prefers to target.
*Squid-shroom cannot stun mechanical zombies.
