Mossion

Mossions are defensive plants that keep zombies away from them for a little while.

Overview
Mossion bears a long stick that resembles a pike on its head. This pike extends for one tile ahead of it, though there is a random chance that it can extend for two tiles ahead of it. Once a zombie approaches its pike, the zombie will start to chew away at it, slowly moving forward. The zombie fully pushes the stick away after 6 seconds if the pike was one-tile long, or 12 seconds if the pike was two-tiles long.

After a zombie fully pushes back the stick, it will start eating the Mossion itself. After 12 bites, the Mossion loses its helmet, and after 35 bites it is gone. If no zombies are eating it, it will start to regenerate its stick. The pike will now always extend for 2 tiles -- that is, as long as a zombie isn't attacking it.

Mossion is based off of the Tillandsia usneoides, otherwise known as the Spanish moss. Its name is a portmanteau of "moss" and "morion," which was the type of helmet used by the Spanish empire military.

Plant Food Ability
Using Plant Food on Mossion will cause it to gain an armored helmet, and a metal pike on its head. The pike takes longer to push, and the armor gives Mossion more health, for a total of 50 ndb of health.
