Decaying Pumpkin

When planted, Decaying Pumpkin will emit an odor in an area around itself. The odor creates an unsettling and rather doom-ful atmosphere, affecting anything nearby and diverting any potentially-hungry zombies into other lanes whilst also dealing some light damage to them over time. Zombies standing in the odor will also take a little bit of extra damage from other plants. Perfect for controlling crowds and wearing down enemies, it excels at keeping the undead at bay while supporting the rest of your plant team.

When boosted by Ail-mint, Decaying Pumpkin's odor covers a larger area of 5x5 tiles instead of 3x3, and the damage that is dealt over time is increased. In addition, there is a higher damage increase from fellow plants.

Decaying Pumpkin is a powerful defensive tool that can soften up difficult zombies. With their moderate durability, Conehead Zombies can be tricky to deal with in large numbers. The Decaying Pumpkin helps by softening them up as they advance, allowing other damage-dealing plants like Bonk Choys or Snapdragons to finish them off more easily. The extra damage taken from nearby plants further hastens their defeat. Bucketheads are known for their tough defenses, but the Decaying Pumpkin's odor steadily chips away at their health, making it easier for your high-damage plants to take them down. Pairing the Decaying Pumpkin with strong offensive plants like Repeater or Cabbage-pult ensures these armored zombies are dealt with more efficiently. Since the odor damage pierces through armor, these zombies are not match for its stinky strength!
