Syrinrodea

__NOWYSIWYG__

Syrinrodea attacks zombies in a 1x3 area in front of it, and also creates sandstorms around it in a 3x3 area.

Overview
Syrinrodea is a plant which creates powerful sandstorms in a 3x3 area around it, protecting any plant in that area and also dealing 3 normal damage shots to all zombies who happen to be swept into the area. These zombies will slow down over time, hindering them from proceeding onwards. Zombies that happen to be directly in front of the plant will be struck by Syrinrodea's leaves, which deal 1 nds per hit. After 3 hits, the zombie will be sent backwards by one tile.

Plant Food Ability
Syrinrodea summons forth a sandstorm, which sucks in all nearby enemies in a 4x3 area, and then attacks them, dealing 40 normal damage shots, and then flings them off-screen. Gargantuars cannot be flung off-screen and instead take 90 damage.

Trivia

 * This plant was originally called Syrindustea, and it would fling sand at it's enemies. It was then changed to Syringodea, and it would sacrifice plants to gain powers. Depending on where it is planted on the field will determine what it does. Being surrounded by multiple plants makes it unable to attack, but strengthens its healing powers. Being around under 3 plants gives it powers inbetween (slightly strong, can heal very slowly). Being around no plants makes it very strong in offense, but unable to heal plants. If it has sacrificed no plants at all, none of these factors will matter and it will be there to stall zombies. It was later changed to its current ability.
 * It is based off of the Syringodea longituba, a plant related to crocus and endemic to South Africa.
