Quake-shroom

__NOTOC__
Quake-shroom is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is a seasonal plant, tied to Quake-shroom's Shaking Season in . Quake-shroom is an instant-use plant that causes an earthquake when planted, dealing light damage to zombies in the area and smashing through armor and grid items. It's the perfect counter to a flock of heavily-armored zombies!
The earthquake affects a 5x5 area and causes effects over a 1-second duration for visual flair. It instantly smashes any grid items in the area, destroying them immediately. It also knocks any headgear off zombies, such as cones or buckets. Finally, it deals 20% of the maximum Toughness of all zombies in the area as damage to them, softening them up but never being able to actually finish anything off.
==Origins==
	Quake-shroom is based on a mushroom, which is a type of fungi characterized by a fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body that typically grows above ground on soil or on its food source. Mushrooms come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and they play crucial roles in ecosystems by decomposing organic matter and forming symbiotic relationships with plants.
	Quake-shroom is also based on an earthquake, which is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. These movements result in the release of energy in the form of seismic waves, which propagate through the Earth and cause the ground to shake.

Quake-shroom proves to be a versatile asset on the battlefield, particularly excelling in disrupting enemy formations and stripping armor. Its ability to destroy grid items like Tombstones and knock off armor in a wide area at a low cost makes it invaluable for crowd control, effectively neutralizing threats while offering significant utility in managing swarms of armored zombies. In terms of dealing with zombies like or , Quake-shroom is the way to go.
Quake-shroom's uniquely percentage-based damage is especially potent against formidable foes like and other "pure" zombies with naturally high Toughness without the use of armor. Combined with the ability to knock off the aforementioned armor, Quake-shroom is excellent for dealing with any kind of zombies, really. Just keep in mind that since the damage is percentage-based, it can't actually finish anything off.
