Toadkill

Toadkill is a Plant at Pvz 2: Unknown Eras DLC and Plants vs. Zombies: The Garden. It is a money premium plant at the first game where it appears, while it is one of the plants associated with the Suburb zone at the second one.

Origin
Toadkill is based on an Amanita (Amanita sp), a genus of poisonous mushrooms known for having a red cap with white dots.

The plant' s name comes from Toadstool, a type of poisonous fruiting body belonging to a fungus, and Roadkill, an animal that was killed by being accidentally struck by a vehicle, like a car or a truck, on a highway. In this case, the roadkill is an animal similar to a rat (Rattus norvegicus).

Effect
Toadkill acts as a regular defensive plant at first, blocking Zombies with its high toughness.

When destroyed, Toadkill will release a Toxic Gas that hurts Zombies that pass through it, just like a Spikeweed. The gas is still considered to be a plant, so the player can' t plant another plant on it, unless it is shoveled before. After 20 seconds, the Toxic Gas will generate a new Toadkill, that gets back to its defensive role.

There are only 3 ways of truly destroying a Toadkill:
 * Smashing it (like a Gargantuar)
 * Hitting it with a missile (like Zomboss' s Zombot Bosses)
 * Shovelling it.

Trivia

 * This is the first animal plant to feature a dead animal in its design.
