Plantamed Lion

Plantamed Lion is a premium plant obtained in Plants vs. Zombies 2 first introduced in the 8.91 version of the game. Plantamed Lion requires 100 seed packets in order to be unlocked for free. Plantamed Lion, when tapped, will roar with a range of three tiles. The zombies in this range will be stunned for two seconds, also dealing 500 damage to those zombies. Afterward, he has to rest for 12 seconds. 
If another Plantamed Lion is planted next to the first one, a pack will be formed. When Plantamed Lions are in packs, their damage is increased by 125 per Plantamed Lion in the pack. This can stack up to 3 times (4 Plantamed Lions in a pack), and if any more Plantamed Lions are planted in a pack, they'll still get the buff, but it won't be increased. Tiles with Plantamed Lions in a pack glow.
A pack won't be formed if a Plantamed Lion is planted diagonally to another Plantamed Lion-only if it's planted in a cardinal direction.
== Origins ==
 His name is portmanteau of "plantain," the plant he is based on that is also known by the term cooking banana, and the words "tamed" and lion, inferring that Plantamed Lion is based off of a tamed lion. Tamed lions are usually used for zoos and circuses, the practice of lion taming dating back to the 19th century.
Plantamed Lion's almanac entry plays off the fact that, despite Plantamed Lion being "tame", he attacks zombies when tapped.

=== Plant Food effect ===
When given Plant Food, Plantamed Lion will make a massive roar after a brief delay, dealing 500 damage per shot to all zombies in a 3x3 area in front of Plantamed Lion, knocking them back one tile, and stunning them for four seconds. Any ally Plantamed Lions in a pack will also roar, adding an extra 0.25 seconds to the stun time (with a max additional stun time of one second). It may seem minor, but it adds up quickly.
==== Costumed ====
While in his costume, Plantamed Lions gain a stun that lasts a second longer than normal.
=== Enforce-mint effect===
When boosted by Enforce-mint, Plantamed Lion's damage per shot is increased to 1050, his stun time increased by a second, and his rest time decreased to 3 seconds.

== Strategies ==
Plantamed Lion is already a great support plant. He can easily vanquish hoards of weaker enemies, and stall the stronger ones for a little bit longer. While he doesn't do as much damage as similar plants such as Coconut Cannon, it's still good to weaken enemies that are a bit tougher than most-but he'll still need other supportive plants if you truly want to make a good defense.
However, these powers are greatly increased when in a pack. While it may take plenty of sun, it slowly turns your Plantamed Lions into a force to be reckoned with. They'll start to become heavy hitters along with even more stun time (due to multiple Plantamed Lions), so you'll be able to horde off enemies with more ease than before. Keep in mind that Plantamed Lion will still suffer against tougher enemies such as Gargantuars, even while in a pack, so make sure you pack something to deal with them. A potentially good choice is Winter-mint and Contain-mint family plants, so that you can stall the tougher zombies so your Plantamed Lions have more time to rest and more attacks can be delivered to stronger threats.
