Treeze

Treeze is the eighth plant unlocked in Blizzard Peaks in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, after beating Level 18A. Treeze is a defensive plant that, upon planting, will first start in their resting state. After 5 seconds, Treeze will then be in their ready state where the player can use them to freeze an entire line of zombies by looking at them. There are two choices the player can make: either click/tap on Treeze to freeze all zombies in his lane in front of him, or click/tap on Treeze then drag and release in a direction in which the player wants to freeze all zombies in (e.g. if the player drags in a direction 15 degrees downwards from Treeze's position, Treeze will freeze all zombies in the line that goes downwards at a 15 degree angle (see the gallery for how this looks like)). In this active state, Treeze will stare at the zombies to freeze them for 7.5 seconds before Treeze closes their eye to go back into their resting state, unfreezing the zombies. Treeze will then need to take 12.5 seconds in order to be able to go back to their ready state again (essentially, on first planting, Treeze's resting state lasts 5 seconds, whereas for every other time, it lasts for 12.5 seconds).
If any fire attack unfreezes one of the zombies that Treeze is freezing, that zombie will immediately go back to being frozen as long as Treeze still has their gaze set on them.
==Origins==
Treeze's name is a portmanteau of the words 'tree' and 'freeze', with tree being the type of plant they are, and freeze referring to Treeze's ability to freeze zombies they look at.
==Almanac entry==
Treeze
Sun: 200
Recharge: Sluggish
Defensive plant that can temporarily freeze all zombies in a direction that you specify. Needs time to rest after freezing.
Usage: Click/tap on Treeze to freeze zombies down the lane, or click/tap and drag and release in the direction that you want Treeze to freeze zombies in
Many plants can't help but feel somewhat perturbed whenever they're near Treeze. There's just this sort of eerie and unsettling vibe to them. It's not Treeze's fault, they never chose to be this way. It's just that the artists who drew them decided "hmm, yes, you will be creepy tree."
==Upgrades==
===Plant Food power===
When fed Plant Food, Treeze freezes all zombies within 60 degrees upwards and 60 degrees downwards of his visual range for 10 seconds while also inflicting them with frost, making them twice as vulnerable to ice attacks while they are still frozen. After this duration, Treeze will go back to his resting state.

==Strategies==
Although they may turn out to be the most expensive defensive plant in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, Treeze's remarkable ability to freeze lines of zombies makes them really good at stalling zombies, and they don't necessarily have to be in Treeze's lane either. This makes Treeze good in two scenarios: you can choose to either slow down zombies in their entire lane if there are many zombies that your defenses needs time to deal with properly, or you can target specific zombies anywhere on the lawn if they prove to be a big enough threat to your defenses (however, usually you would resort to freezing zombies in the lane Treeze is in if you make sure to plant a Treeze on each lane). Being the only defensive ice plant, Treeze also fits in decently with defenses that may use ice synergy, and he can also resist frost in Blizzard Peaks unlike all other defensive plants (unless a reality rift is present that would change this), so he doesn't need to be warmed in order to stand on his own.

==Trivia==
*Treeze is the second plant in the game that is intended to not have any idling animation, with Weeping Willow being the first.
*The almanac entry is a reference to how Treeze was originally not meant to have a creepy theme to them, but was eventually given by the artists who drew them.
