Tomortar

The Tomortar is a gem-premium plant that is introduced with Red Sands. Tomortars can be set to target any individual tile on the board.

Suburban Almanac Entry
“I have never been more focused before in my life,” says Tomortar, “this is what I want to do. This is what I was destined to do!”

Plant Food
Will fire a giant tomato onto the tile it is locked onto that will explode on contact with the ground and act as a Cherry Bomb.

Implementation
The player can set the tile to be targeted by tapping or dragging. They will fire tomatoes onto that tile only until it is manually changed. Tomatoes are fired at half the rate of a Cabbage-pult and deal 4NDS to each zombie in the tile. Tomatoes are fired into the air and come down in a similar way to the Banana Cannon and Cryochoke. Hence, they deal splash damage to all zombies in the tile even if some are flying. The projectiles will only be blocked by specific zombies like Parasol Zombies and Legionary Zombies, or other high-flying zombies like the  and UFO.

Strategies
In effect, Tomortars be used as variable of Spikeweeds (and Spikerocks of course) but from a distance. As such, they possess the same advantages that Spikeweeds do. For instance, they can do large damage over time to zombies at a specific location, such as zombies behind a huge group of other zombies. This allows targeting of dangerous lingering zombies, including Imp Cannons, Wizard Zombies and Telemancer Zombies. It's use in conjunction with defensive plants, like the 'block and spike' strategy, would be a useful method of attack. The Tomortar can also protect from UFO abductions or attack groups of . As  can eat Spikeweeds, the Tomortar can be used to replace them in levels with the .

The player can make the Tomortar track zombies by changing the sights multiple times. This would be effective against singular zombies, but not against hordes. On a similar note though, the Tomortar's sights can be consistently changed early in a level to act similar to a Homing Thistle, although this could prove to be quite awkward.
