M.O.S.S.

M.O.S.S. (acronym for Malignant Onslaught of Storms and Surges) is a plant released in the 9.6.1 update of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He was purchasable for a price of 70 gems from April 10th - April 16th, before becoming a 100 gem cost plant available to obtain in the store.
MOSSes release temporary storms in a nearby area that have various effects on zombies and its surroundings.
==Origin==
M.O.S.S. is based off non-vascular plants in the land plant division Bryophyt, known as Moss. 
==Almanac Entry==
== Overview ==
MOSSes release temporary storms lasting 6 seconds every 13 seconds that apply effects in a 5x5 area surrounding him. These effects include: 
#Dissolving headpieces such as buckets, cones, etc, but limited to destroying up to 4 of these headpieces,
#Destroying objects such as sheep, octopi, surfboards and staffs in its radius.
#Applying a DoT effect to zombies, indicated by a green tint, dealing 25 damage every 0.75 seconds for 14 seconds.
When combined, these effects can be a great help in levels against zombies, with its damage, utility and crowd control.
==Strategies==
MOSSes should be planted on the frontlines to ensure full use of their effects. Pumpkin can be used to protect them, as they have a slow recharge and uptime on its abilities can greatly benefit other plants. These moss-y plants especially help with protected zombies such as Bucketheads, Knight Zombies and even Brickheads. However, they are useless against Gargantuars and bosses, therefore they should be kept away from them and should not be used as the main defence against them. 5x5 range can help keep a wide range of plants safe and is especially useful in mold colony levels, and should be utilized to its full capablities as such.
==Upgrades==
===Ail-Mint Effect===
When boosted by Ail-Mint, all M.O.S.S.es gains 50% extra uptime on storms and instantly release a storm if not occuring currently. As well as this, new DoT effects being applied now last 20% longer.
===Plant Food effect===
When fed with plant food, M.O.S.S releases an enormous storm cloud onto columns 1-3, dealing 450 damage to all zombies in that area and causing them to take 25 damage every second for the next 8 seconds.
