Minglesteen

Minglesteen is a plant that appears on the first game, Plants vs. Zombies. It can be acquired through the completion of a certain Mini-game after being purchased off of . Which can only be made available after beating Adventure Mode twice.
Minglesteen has an ability to mingle a nugget of scrap metals from steal-wielding zombies such as bucketheads. And in return, the plant could reuse them as a projectile causing a single damage shot with an additional 0.25 to the equipment they had scraped from against any kinds of offenses. 
Minglesteen has the same mingle rate as it's fire rate, which is the same as the Peashooter's fire rate. They also have the point of view of Lobbed-shot plants along with Cacti, allowing them to attack submerged Snorkel Zombies as well as to an extent, flying Balloon Zombies respectively. 
==Origins==
Minglesteen is based on a fruit cultivar native to Southeast Asia. Garcinia mangostana, otherwise known as a Mangosteen.
It is a portmanteau of the word "Mingle", which means intermixing, referring to it's ability of stealing a variety of scrap metals, and the aforementioned fruit.
The idea itself was based on a Mangosteen concept drawn by the creator in 2016. It was then repurposed under a more original one. Having a complete overall design itself.

==Strategies==
Minglesteens are much more useful in most mini-games compared to the number of survival levels. Like the Pogo Party and Bobsled Bonanza. They could take down a single zombie in less than 7 shots just as long as there's a nearby source from the surrounding lanes.
In survival levels however, it is recommended to pair them with a bunch of normal defenses such as the several pea-shooting plants when planting them in advance. Even so they are best as a mid-wave tier option that can be replaced in later waves.

==Trivia ==
* Weirdly enough, Minglesteens are unable to mingle scraps from Dr. Zomboss. It's mainly due the lack of code and inability to obtain the plant through a normal Zomboss battle gameplay.
*Minglesteen went through a number of overall concepts prior to the settlement of the current idea.
** This include such puns like Minglesteal, Mangosteal, Mangosteam which would've had a different ability.
*Credit to Kyao for the Almanac entry.
*Apparantly this article never mentioned the plant's gender, but the creator confirms that Minglesteen is in fact, male.
