Crater Tot

__NOTOC__
Crater Tot is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is a seasonal plant, tied to Crater Tot's Destructive Season in . Crater Tot is a mysterious plant from outer space who conjures meteor showers when tapped that deal devastating damage over a moderate period of time and are sure to get rid of those pesky zombies. The meteor showers will follow the player's touch as they fall, making them very easy to aim and control.
When tapped, there's a 3-second delay before the meteors start falling, and the meteors fall wherever your finger is or last was on the screen. The meteors fall for 8 seconds and fall at a rate of one every 0.2 seconds, dealing 60 damage each for a total of meteors or damage over the duration of the shower. Each meteor deals damage in a half tile area (it's just a normal tile cut in half since it's so freeform where it lands). The meteors deal equal damage wherever they land, so there's no bonus for a direct hit. Not that it would be really feasible.
After the meteor shower ends, Crater Tot goes on cooldown for 25 seconds.
==Origins==
	Crater Tot's name is a portmanteau of the words "crater," referring to the fact that it is both seemingly from outer space and lives in a crater, and "tater tot," which are grated potatoes formed into small cylinders and deep-fried, often served as a side dish. The name "tater tot" is a registered trademark of the American frozen food company Ore-Ida, but is often used as a generic term.

==Strategies==
Crater Tot is an excellent offensive option, able to dish out massive amounts of damage with his meteor showers. Each meteor shower can also be split up by the player, so if there are a number of smaller groups of zombies they can all be taken out as opposed to most manual plants where it's just a single shot that affects a single area, like from or . Alternatively, one could focus all of Crater Tot's massive damage into a single area to take out any zombie in the game - with the exception of bosses, general zombies, and the and , nothing can survive a full barrage.
Plants that pull zombies in from other lanes such as or work well with Crater Tot, since his meteor showers have the potential to do enormous amounts of damage. Those enormous amounts of damage are usually spread across a fairly large area, but if you can concentrate the zombies into a smaller area you'll have an easier and better time clearing them all out.
