Wood Chipper

Wood Chipper is a plant that may or may not exist in Plants Vs. Zombies Impersonation. He swiftly jabs zombies at close range with splintering wood chip fisticuffs, lodging splinters that gradually chip away the health of inflicted zombies. Wood Chipper also steals the headpieces of nearby zombies', such as cones and buckets, and promptly sprays the woodchipper'd shreds at zombies in a 3x3 area in front of itself. When no zombies are nearby, the Wood Chipper shreds a log of wood and sprays lots of damaging woodchips in the 3x5 area in front of itself, lightly damaging and also afflicting zombies with splinters. Wood Chipper, being a versatile combative plant, is a plant of both the Enforce-Mint family and the Battle-Mint family, as the game he supposedly appears in allows plants to have dual plant families.

Origins
Wood Chipper is based on woodchips, "small to medium sized pieces of wood formed by cutting or chipping larger pieces of wood". Wood Chipper is a portmanteau of "woodchipper", referring to his woodchipping spray attack and partially mechanical and woodchipper-shaped appearance, "wood", referring to the plant being made of wood, "woodchip", referring to the plant being based on woodchips, "chipper", as denoted by the plant's excessively grand smile, and "chip", referring to the wooden microchips that the Wood Chipper attaches to zombies via his Plant Food effect, as well as "chip", as in how the Wood Chipper's splintering affliction and attacks are meant to chip away at the zombies' health, and "chip", as in the single chipped tooth in the Wood Chipper's smile. One of Wood Chipper's costumes denotes a bag of chips sitting on top of the plant's head, featuring yet another definition of the word "chip". Another costume features a pile of poker chips.

Plant Food Effect
When fed Plant Food, Wood Chipper sprays a great shower of wooden microchips (alternatively known as "woodchips") that rain down upon the 5x5 area in front of itself, "microchipping" every zombie in the area with said woodchips. These chips gradually damage zombies much more and much faster than the regular splinter affliction and also combust when the zombie it is attached to dies, creating a damaging, medium-sized explosion to heavily damage other nearby zombies.

Enforce-Mint Effect
Wood Chipper deals double damage to zombies for the duration.

Battle-Mint Effect
Wood Chipper deals double damage to zombies for the duration.

Level Upgrade
Shiverpeace doesn't believe in the level system in PvZ2 that made plants completely broken and arguably very overpowered, cashed in on players spending money on coins and seed packets, and also strayed off of what Shiverpeace believes what was one of the most fundamental parts of the main Plants vs. Zombies series; that the game series was too simple to have this kind of scaled, definitive leveling up system of individual plants that additionally made PvZ2 even more P2W than it was before (speaking of this, maybe Shiverpeace should nerf the Power Mints a bit).

Trivia

 * This plant was created for the 2019 Plants Contest.
 * This is the second plant Shiverpeace has created that is a "hybrid" of a unit of machinery and a plant (a woodchipper and woodchips), the first being Briarworks (who is a "hybrid" of a fireworks launcher and a rose).
