*Potato Mine: Potato Mines force Zombies to look down. If a Zombie sets foot on a Potato Mine, it will explode and they will experience the full force of a "SPUDOW!"
**Potato Nugget Mine: These little nuggets are small, have a great sense of humor and enjoy sitting around waiting to blow Zombies sky high. While not as damaging as their potato cousins, these little nuggets still pack a spudow!
**Pizzazzling Potato Mine: Need some more shine in your life? These potatoes love to pizzazle zombies, and will leave a cloud of glitter after a whopping sparkling spudow!
*Garlic Drone: By launching her Garlic Drone companion, she can monitor Zombies from the skies, attack them from the air, and call in devastating Corn Strikes.
**Artichoke Drone: The Artichoke Drone has a really thick skin. This gives it more health and helps it last longer in a fight. However, it does not have the same firepower as its Garlic counterpart.
***Red Artichoke: This agile Artichoke shouldn't be messed with. It's as fast as a clam and quick like a cucumber!
**Dark Garlic Drone: The Dark Garlic Drone is infused with mystical dark energy. It has cool magical weapons and cool magical look.
*Tallnut Battlement: Tallnut Battlements have many uses. They can be shields and they can block paths to stop the Zombies in their tracks. They're terrible card players, though.
**Iron Maiden: Encased in iron armor, these Iron Maiden Tallnuts will stare at Zombies with an unmatched intensity. They are very hard to destroy and enjoy getting in the way.
***Bling Maiden: This Tallnut is encased in solid bling gold armor! How did a Tallnut even afford such expensive armor though?
*Petal Propeller: Can get to high ground by flying upwards.
