Gourd Guard

Gourd Guard is the first plant obtained in Radioactive Factory in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. Gourd Guard has two-thirds the amount of health as . He can also squash zombies, identical to that of ability. However, this ability will only activated when Gourd Guard is destroyed or moved.

== Origins ==
He is based on the common gourd, and his name is an example of alliteration.

Gourd Guard, while not as tanky as other wall plants in the game, can still hold itself up for a decent amount of time. You can largely use him as you would use , however be wary of its lower health. Gourd Guard's main feat is its ability to encase a crowd of zombies, before destroying them all. However, this can be a bit tricky to pull off depending on the level that you are playing. Pay attention to the roster of zombies in the level before going ahead and choosing Gourd Guard. 
Chilling plants pair well with the Gourd Guard, as they help in protecting it if there is no rough-handling zombie to active its ability for a while.
Gourd Guard works great in most levels of Radioactive Factory due to the mutated plants gimmick. One could move the toxic puddles to be in front of Gourd Guards, as this will allow for the mutated plants to attack Gourd Guard and eventually activate its ability. In contrast, the Overworked Zombie introduced later in the world makes it difficult to effectively use Gourd Guard. These zombies are capable of eating through your Gourd Guards quickly if left ignored. For levels with Overworked Zombies, it is best to choose a different wall plant.
