Boouquet

<tabber>
Boouquet is the fifth plant unlocked in Haunted Kingdom in Plants vs. Zombies: Kingdom of Taco.
They are a ghost plant, similar to Ghost Pepper, meaning they can't be eaten or destroyed and projectiles go through them. Their ability is to haunt zombies that walk through the tile they are on, disabling their ability for 5 seconds, for example: Explorer Zombie will have to eat instead of burning plants instantly, Gravedigger can't dig bones, Gargantuar can't throw their imps etc. This does not extent to normal attacks such as eating or smashing, so basic variants or others with no activation ability will never activate Boouquet's ability or usage. Speaking of usage, Boouquet only has 5 usages, and once all 5 is used, they will disappear. They can't disable General or Boss zombies' ability.
Cerberose is the Tacobility form of Boouquet, which gives them an additional ability. When Boouquet disappears, after all 5 usages are gone, they will jumpscare all zombies within 3x3, knocking them back 2 tiles and disable their abilities for 3 seconds. While this sound powerful, Cerberose can only perform this after the 5 usages, meaning if they were destroyed by other means like getting shoveled, it will not work. Also unlike other Tacobility, it does not last forever due to the ability only working after Cerberose is gone and their limited usages. They can only knockback Gargantuars for 1 tile rather than 2.
==Origins==
Boouquet is based on a bouquet, a group of flowers that have been put together so that they may appear attractive and pleasent. They are also used in wedding, which is what their almanac entry is based on. The flower they are based on are roses, a common type of flower to put in a bouquet.
The other thing they are based on are ghosts, the "boo" part of their name comes from the noise commonly associated with ghosts due to it having the meaning to scare people, something ghosts also do. Boo and ghosts can also be a slight reference to the Super Mario franchise, where Boo are a race of ghosts. The meaning to scare people from boo is also the reason why they have the ability to spook zombies. This further translate to their Tacobility's ability, able to jumpscare zombies when disappearing.
The ability to stop zombies' ability when spooked comes from the emotion of fear, where people usually are unable to perform what they're doing when scared, and ghosts can usually cause fear into people due to them being unnatural. Other reaction from fear can also be running away, or the "flight" in "fight or flight", this can be sen in Cerberose's ability to knockback zombies when jumpscaring them.
Cerberose is based on Cerberus, a three-headed dog in Greek mythology. He was the guardian of the Underworld, preventing those who tried to escape. Their snake tail and dog ears are a reference to him. His relation with Boouquet is that both ghosts and Cerberus are myths that cause fear into people, and Boouquet has 3 different roses as heads, but with only one body, similar to Cerberus.
Their milestone costume is a reference to Ghostface, the antagonists of the Scream franchise, the costume is a reference to how Ghostface always operate as two different people, while the third head act as the victim of their crime, as seen with the knife, Ghostface's signature weapon, on their head.

==Strategies==
Boouquet is very powerful in the right circumstances, they can entirely prevent zombies from hurting to your defense, but be careful of when to use it.
They can disable abilities, this allows them to make some zombies effectively into basic variants. Formerly dangerous zombies such as Furnace Zombie, Fishbite Zombie, Bomb Cannoneer, Plague Doctor and more will no longer have any power and gives you time to destroy them with your other plants. Zombies that has ability after death such as Ostrich Gargantuar will also not activate when killed during those 5 seconds, so you can safely counter them with Boouquet. Their power extent further than just this, however, you can stop a Zomboni from spawning ice trail, and as Boouquet is a ghost plant, they will not be crushed by them, allowing you to also plant explosive or spike plants to take care of them, other notable example include charging zombie such as Armor-dillo Zombie, who will no longer roll even after it wears off due to how they work, and all flying zombies will have to eat normal height plants due to them floating over plants count as abilities as well, giving you a way to stall them without having to bring Tall-Nut.
Plants that are good with Boouquet include manual plants like Coconut Cannon or Banana Launcher so that you can deal with zombies with ability on death quickly, and defensive plants from removing their weakness to flying zombies or some instant-killing zombies.
While this seems really good, Boouquet does have limited usage, which means it can be used up unintentionally by zombies with ability that don't always work like Gargantuars before half health, Explorer Zombies that have their torches extinguished and more. And due to their longer recharge speed, you might not able to plant another as Boouquet's range is only in its tile.
Cerberose can solve some of these problems, as Cerberose now gain the ability to knockback after usage, meaning even if you waste them, Boouquet still help by knocking the zombies back, buying you time. They can also spook in 3x3 when jumpscaring, allowing it to help with zombies in other lanes as well, do note that giving a taco to Boouquet will not regenerate the lost usage. This can still work in your favor by allowing low usage Boouquet to upgrade to get Cerberose's ability faster. Of course Cerberose do have one glaring weakness, they have to have all of the usage gone to perform the jumpscare, so you might not able to use this ability when you want it to. It might also be not worth upgrading them as Taco are limited but for most other plants, they are permanent until the level ends, but not Cerberose.
Boouquet's other weaknesses are their limitation, mainly zombies without power but are still powerful like Brickhead Zombies, obstacles like oven that have ability but can't be disabled thanks to not being a zombie, or zombies that don't move, such as Archer Zombie, who will never reach Cerberose unless you plant them in the first column. You can help with these problem with other plants such as Corrose, who can deal with strong headgear and obstalces, or Carrocket, who can defeat first column zombies before others.
