Cornucropea Pod

Cornucropea Pod is a that appears in . It's attacks are determined by what plants are around it in a 3x3 area. Plants that affects its attack are straight shooting plants like , which cause it to shoot a pea twice in a 5° cone with each pea being at 0.5° apart from each other with a 2.5s attack cooldown, lobbed-shot plants like which cause it to fire kernels at all zombies in a 5x5 area in front of it with a 5s attack cooldown, and defensive plants like (not including ) which cause it to fire a blast that affects any zombie in a 3x2 area in front of it and knocks them back. For each of a type of plant in it's influence range it increases it's attack by that type of plant. It can also attack with multiple abilities if there are 2 or more types of plants within it's influence range.
Each attack can get stronger the more plants of a type there is in it's range. Its pea attack fires 1 more pea per volley for each straight-shooting plant in its influence range, its kernel attack fires 1 more kernel to each zombie for each lobbed-shot plant, and its blast attack gains 0.2 tiles of knockback for each defensive plant.
==Origins==
It is based on the cornucopia, also called the horn of plenty, was a symbol of abundance and nourishment, commonly a large horn-shaped container overflowing with produce, flowers, or nuts.
Its name is a combination of cornucopia, crop (referring to the corn), and pea pod.

==Strategy==
Cornucropea Pod works in a way in that the more of a type of plant you place around it, the more it synergizes with those plants. With straight-shooting plants, more noteably: . With , , or even , you gain increased synergy with , as a max Pea Cornucropea Pod can deal up to 4nds/s, but this does assume that all peas hit the same zombie. Speaking of dealing high close range damage, a max Pea Cornucopea Pod can easily deal with s, specifically ones thrown by a , as they get close to your backliners naturally. Make sure to use , as the imps can still hurt Cornucropea Pod when they land, and eventually lead to the plant's demise if enough chip away at it.
With its kernel attack, you get to deal cover a big area but deal light damage. With that in mind, it now fits a role where it can cover massive areas to take out smaller zombies that may not be able to be easily dealt with unless you have a plant that can pierce zombies. There'not much else to say other than it's good area control.
With its explosion attack, you get to synergizes with defensive plants as you increase their longevity by keeping zombies off of them. You can use this with a high damaging plant, like to keep the zombies at bay. It should also be worth mentioning that the plant does not consider as a defensive plant, since it can lead to potential abuse.

*This is a creation for the Food Fight Festival 2021 contest.
*Credit to Miles for helping me balance this in the PvZCC discord server.
*Its cornucopia seems to contain some corn cobs and peas. The peas may not be easily made out due to its similar color to the corn cobs.
