Ailmond

Ailmond is a plant that can be obtained in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time, obtained by planting 10 Ail-mint family plants during a level. Every 3 seconds, Ailmond swings sludge at zombies, dealing a hefty amount of damage and lowering all of their stats, strength, toughness, and speed, by 20%. This effect is able to stack multiple times, The sludge also poisons the zombie, dealing damage over time. When a zombie is within 2 tiles' range of Ailmond, it will retreat into its shell. From there, it explodes every 5 seconds in a 3x3 area, stunning zombies for 1 second, dealing massive damage, and inducing the effects of the sludge it'd normally sling.
==Origin==
 Ailmond is a portmanteau of Almond, and Ail. More specifically, bitter almonds. Bitter almonds are known to have small amounts of a dangerous chemical known as Cyanide in them. Cyanide is known to be highly toxic and smells lightly of almonds. 
==Strategies ==
Ailmond is a very useful late-game defensive plant that can harshly lower a zombies' damage, toughness, and speed. Using this in tandem with plants that are slow to get going, like Citron or Pea Pod, can prove to be a good strategy is you have a wide array of sun-producers present on your lawn. Sun producers can also prove to be a huge issue when using Ailmond as one of your main plants, its hefty 275 sun cost often bankrupts you more times than not if you don't have an appropriate setup of sun-producers such as Primal Sunflower, Shine Vine + another Sun producer, Sun-shroom, etc. More TBA
