Zomboid Vine

This plant is currently not for use in any fangames. This may change in the future.
Zomboid Vine is a vine plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 11.4.1 update along with Aqua Vine tied to Zomboid Vine's Zany Season. It can be planted over other plants and offers a wide variety of ways to boost Zomboids produced by Zoybean Pod or itself and Tofu Turkeys produced by Turkey Pult.
When planted on a Zoybean Pod, it will automatically produce Zomboids with the next level of armor. If Zoybean Pod is max level and only spawns Buckethead Zomboids, it would start spawning Brickhead Zomboids, which are exclusive to this plant. When planted on a Turkey Pult, it will spawn plant fooded Tofu Turkeys instead of normal ones. Zomboid Vine does not affect Gargantuar Zomboids spawned by Zoybean Pod's plant food in this way.
When a Zomboid, Zomboid Gargantuar or a Tofu Turkey walk past Zomboid Vine, they will grow bigger, heal up and get faster in the same way zombies do with the Dark Ages potions.
If an instant-use plant like Cherry Bomb is planted on Zomboid Vine, it will spawn a Brickhead Zomboid after death. This also works with plants such as Potato Mine.
==Origins==
Zomboid Vine's design takes inspiration from Zoybean Pod, though it is unknown is Zomboid Vine is also based on a soybean.

===Plant Food effect===
When given Plant Food, Zomboid Vine charges up and it's three tails start glowing blue, entering a charged state. If a Zomboid or a Tofu Turkey walks past Zomboid Vine in this state, it will transform into a Zomboid Gargantuar. It can only do this three times, and the glowing tails act as an indicator of how many uses it has left. If a Zoybean Pod or a Turkey Pult are planted inside Zomboid Vine during this state, they will produce/throw Zomboid Gargantuars until the charge effect is expired. Zomboid Gargantuars thrown by Turkey Pult also do damage and stun zombies in a 3x3 area upon landing.
===Enchant-mint effect===
When boosted by Enchant-mint, the passed Zomboid damage and speed multiplier increaes by 0.3. If a Zoybean Pod is planted inside it, produced Zomboids will be a higher armor level. (For example; instead of Conehead Zomboid, Brickhead Zomboid will be produced.)

== Strategies ==
At first, Zomboid Vine may seem like a niche plant, which is true. However, it excels in the specific use it has.
Starting with it's boost for Zomboid that pass by - it can be stacked up to 9 times. Setting up multiple columns of Zomboid Vines will prove to be extremely beneficial if you're using Zoybean Pod with it. However, it may not be that useful with Turkey Pult as it lobs turkeys at zombies, lowering their chances of walking through a Zomboid Vine. It is reccomended to plant Zomboid Vine directly onto Turkey Pult instead of relying on external Zomboid Vines.
An extremely powerful strategy is to set up multiple Tile Turnip power tiles and plant Zomboid Vines and Turkey Pults on them. Since vine plants activate their own and their host plant's plant food at the same time, Zomboid Vine's charged state will affect Turkey Pult's plant food - meaning you will fire several Zomboid Gargantuars at zombies all at once. With multiple of these tiles set up, you can create a nearly indestructible army of Zomboid Gargantuars with just one plant food.
Zomboid Vine can be utilized even if the player doesn't have Zoybean Pod or Turkey Pult, as planting an instant-use plant inside it will summon a Brickhead Zomboid, though this strategy is very manual.. If you set up a few Zomboid Vines in a lane, and spam a fast-recharging instant plant such as Blover in the vine closest to the house, you can substitute for a Zoybean Pod.
Overall, Zomboid Vine is a strong plant that may be a bit difficult to get the hang of, though the pay off is worth it.
