Infernomato

Infernomato spits out ketchup that becomes fire with his burning top that leaves a flaming hot ketchup tile which burns zombies! He is unlocked at 5-6 in PVZ:TMT.
== Overview ==
Infernomato fires a spicy ketchup pint that doesn't directly damage zombies, but creates a flaming sauce tile which lasts for 3.75s that deals high damage onto zombies who step on it. His plant food changes his next attack. Instead of making hot tiles, his next attack will act like a cherry bomb, exploding in a 3x3 area dealing significant damage. After that, he'll spit out his normal shots again.
== Strategy==
Infernomato acts much like a Cabbage-pult with a Lava Guava, spitting lobbed attacks from afar like the pults, and leaving a hot tile like lava guava. He's a great counter to very slow zombies like Gargantuars, Troglobites, etc. since they'll stay on the tiles much longer. Which also means he will be ineffective to very flighty zombies like All-Star Zombie, Zombie Chickens, Weasels, etc. As well as being a Pepper-mint plant makes Imp Dragon Zombie a counter to this since Imp Dragon not being able to take damage from fire and explosions. Although he's a very great option for an aggro plant due to its high damage output against non-flighty/fast zombies. Sure, he only covers one lane but with enough plants and sun to stall the other lanes, you'll have more than enough time to plant a whole row of Infernomatoes making a nightmare for the zombies to get past! His plant food can also be used if to cover adjacent lanes if there is a zombie in his lane, clearing all zombies in a 3x3 area. Really useful as an emergency if zombies get too far over yonder!
Since he's damage relies on his fire tiles, he has great synergy with plants that slow zombies or keep them in place such as Sap-fling, Tall-nut, etc. But be careful, using chilling plants will be ineffective with Infernomato due to the fire tiles unfreezing/unchilling zombies. With help from plants like these, you can win levels with just with your sun-producers, stalling plants and infernomato!
== Trivia ==
* This was based on spicy-flavored tomato ketchup
* Infernomato was one of my old plants, now updated!
* Infernomato is meant to have a similar voice to Parsnip
* His plant food was originally going to be him destroying himself to explode and make his hot tiles in a 3x3 area on where he's placed, but I figured it wouldn't be that useful due to him usually being placed in the back and even if not it'd still not be worth it investing 250 sun and a plantfood to then destroy that plant and waste that sun and plantfood :P
* Infernomatoe's function was changed as well! He was meant to be more of a close-range plant similar to Electrici-tea, but as a Pepper-mint plant (he would burn all zombies around him dealing damage over time, and if he was eaten he'd explode into flames, but that wouldn't be original nowadays since well, Electrici-tea exists!)
