Potato Mine (PvZ:DNA)

Radiqueum tuberagor or the Common Potato Mine or Potato Mine for short is the fourth obtained plant in Plats vs. Zombies: Daring Nectary Adventure. making it the first explosive plant the player gets. It serves as a tutorial for patience and explosions. They take a minute to arm and fully develop, but once that's done they explode on contact.
==Origins==
Radiqueum tuberagor shares most of its DNA from Solanum tuberosum or the Potato. His name is a combination of "potato" and "land mine," an explosive device concealed under or on the ground designed to destroy or disable enemy targets, ranging from combatants to vehicles and tanks.
He was inspired by the film Swiss Family Robinson, as George Fan felt it was satisfying to watch a zombie step on the mine so as to be defeated and covered in mashed potatoes.
Potato Mine's word on the speech bubble when he explodes, "SPUDOW!!", is a portmanteau of "spud" and "kapow." Mines are also an underground cavern, referring to how Potato Mine is an underground plant.

 	Improvised Explosive Tubers	Plasmid Vector 	Makes two Potato Mines in random locations that don't duplicate and are weaker.
==Strategies==
Potato Mines can defeat Imps and Browncoats with ease, but armored zombies are another story. you'll need two on them to defeat a Cone-head and three to defeat a Bucket-head. Though you'll need an army of them to defeat a Gangantuar. Though a good plan would be to defend your Sunflowers with Wall-nuts and stuff the rest of the lawn with Potato Mines in Last Stand.
==Biology==
=== Physiology ===
Radiqueum tuberagor or the Common Potato Mines have tough, grey stems with one spherical, red, leaf on top. Its roots absorb minerals like calcium and iron from the ground to coat its stem and leaf. Its roots also absorb Nitrates and Sulfur in the soil. and store it in special tuberous, starchy, root portions. These root portions are potatoes. They have small eyes and buck-toothed mouth imprints that make it look like a mole and an easy meal. Once the potato is full it slightly releases some of the explosive substances to push it up and then decreases it's cell walls so that will explode in contact
===Ecology===
Radiqueum tuberagor or the Common Potato Mine explodes on contact throwing its cell walls everywhere making "mashed potatoes." Though in the cell walls are seeds that scatter when it explodes.

* In real life plants Don't explode to scatter seeds, though Exploding cucumbers do have a rather "explosive" way of seed dispersal.
