Huff-shroom

Huff-shroom is the seventh plant obtained in Shroom Moors in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, after beating Level 10A. Huff-shroom sucks up any herbicide clouds that are released by Landscaper Zombie, and, once it has sucked up 3 clouds, it explodes and releases the herbicide throughout the whole of its lane. All zombies will receive huge damage, but, however, it will not affect plants. If Huff-shroom gets eaten before he gets to explode, if he has sucked up at least one herbicide cloud, the zombie who eats it dies.

Origins
Huff-shroom’s name is based off Puff-shroom’s name and the word ‘huff’, which refers to Huff-shroom’s ability to suck up herbicide.

Almanac entry
Huff-shroom

Sun cost: 75

Recharge: Mediocre

Sucks up herbicide released by Landscaper Zombie, then, after sucking up enough, it explodes, releasing the herbicide onto all zombies in its lane, dealing huge damage.

Usage: Single-use, instant

Special: Poisons and kills zombies who eat it if it has sucked up herbicide.

When they were young, Huff-shroom and Puff-shroom attempted to blow a brick house down.

Plant Food power
When fed with Plant Food, Huff-shroom will create a toxic cloud that covers the whole lane it is positioned in, which damages zombies over time. The cloud expires after a while. The number of herbicide clouds Huff-shroom can suck up will also be reset back to three.

Ultimate ability
When fully upgraded, Huff-shroom can suck up infinite herbicide clouds. Huff-shroom can still explode, but only when he has sucked up at least one, and, to explode, he must be manually tapped on to do so.

Strategies
Huff-shroom is only useful and the only useful plant when it comes to countering Landscaper Zombie. When used, Huff-shroom should be planted in a position where there are no plants in front of it, otherwise, any plants in front of it would receive the herbicide cloud and start suffocating instead of getting sucked up by Huff-shroom. Unless you are aiming to poison a particular zombie, Huff-shroom should also be planted away from zombies, so that it has enough time to suck enough herbicide clouds and explode, and be able to finish off the Landscaper Zombie himself, and possibly other zombies in the same lane.
