Beech Bunny

Beech Bunny is a premium plant available in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Beech Bunny turns peas into a Beech Ball which bounces twice. It also spawns a bunny which can attack zombies.
Beech Bunny transforms any peas in its lane shot behind it into a 'beech ball' which deals 20x2 dps at Level 1. The beech ball will bounce from the zombie back into it and then bounces back again dealing a total of 40 dps. The ball will not remove any freezing or chilling effects unlike fire peas but also is weaker than them.
If Fire Peashooter or Snow Pea's projectile get shot through it, their projectiles will not retain any of their effects when passing through Beech Bunny. However, large peas shot by Repeater or Pea Pod's plant food will be transformed into a Mega Beech Ball which deals 400x2 dps for a total of 800 dps.
When a zombie gets at least 3 tiles near it, a bunny with the same health and speed as an Ice Weasel will emerge the lane. The spawning of the bunny cools down for 5 seconds, The bunny jumps towards the frontmost zombie and stuns them for 2 seconds, then will continue to run and distract zombies in its lane.
Whenever a bunny is ready, a pair of bunny ears will appear in its leaves. If a pea is shot while a bunny is in it, then the bunny will ride the ball while it hits the target zombie. The ball will act normally but the bunny will spawn and the zombie that gets hit is stunned for 2 seconds at Level 1.
The bunny can jump over the nearest zombie if at least 2 tiles apart which will stun the target zombie. It gets double speed in water tiles on Big Wave Beach. However, it will jump over an Imp Cannon and stun them, but will fall down the water tile at Pirate Seas.

=== Plant Food effect===
When given Plant Food, Beech Bunny will reveal a Bunnyzilla, a large version of the bunny that jumps two tiles in front of it. The Bunnyzilla will deal 1000 dps in a 3x3 upon impact, and all zombies in that area (except for Gargantuars) will be knocked back a tile while Imps get knocked out the lawn. It will then traverse the lane while stomping on any zombies in its path. The Bunnyzilla hops slowly and doesn't take any damage.
===Appease-mint effect===
When boosted by Appease-mint, Beech Bunny's Beech Ball will bounce thrice, the bunny's range is increased by 1 tile, and the stunning effect is increased by 3 seconds.

==Strategies ==
Beech Bunny makes peas deal a total of 2x its usual damage, which is the same as Torchwood but its hits is halved. The difference between the two is that Torchwood can deal with tanky zombies because it deals damage quicker, but Beech Bunny can attack two to three zombies at once. Beech Bunny can deal with Chicken Wrangler Zombie or Weasel Hoarder Zombie easier because of its dual hit mechanic.
The other difference between the two is that Beech Bunny can synergize with ice plants as it does not remove the freezing or chilling effect from zombies that it hits. Which means other freezing plants will not have their effects be removed by it, and so does Snow Pea's effect. However, Snow Pea should be planted in front of it so her projectiles won't be turned into Beech Balls. 
Most of the time, it is better to use Plant Food on pea plants behind it rather than itself because the peas shot by the Plant Food effect will be turned into Beech Balls. Though it might clean up the whole lane, if there is a horde of zombies in the adjacent lanes too close to the left side of the arena, using the Plant Food on it might be a better choice.
Its bunny is extremely great at stalling zombies while having little damage output. It is especially amazing at helping setting up plants behind Beech Bunny early on as there are not many zombies. A maxed out Pea Pod behind it can deal a lot of damage, and setting it up is a lot easier than with Torchwood thanks to its bunnies, although costing more sun.
