Electricotton

Electricottons are hovering offensive plants that attacks in a 3x3 area

Overview
If planted, an electricotton will first be hidden underground. This only occurs, however, if no zombies are present in both above, in fron front and below it.

A zap from an electricotton can give away 10 nds. However, it will have to recharge after zapping 2-3 zombies. This recharge usually last for about 15 seconds. While recharging, it will rest on the tile, meaning, it will be vulnerable for zombie attacks.

Electricottons hover above ground, meaning it cannot be eaten by zombies. It can be planted on water without using any lily pads. Though, it can change if it recharges. The electricotton will immediately die during recharge on water, that however will only happen if there is no lily pad placed under it.

If planted nearby another electric plant, its damage will increase by 5 nds. But, it's damage will turn back to normal if the electric plant nearby is either eaten/destroyed, or dug up

Strategies
There are a lot of things that are needed to be managed in order to to function properly.

First, its recharge. It will recharge every time it zaps it's 3rd or 4th zombie. Plant a defensive plant in front of it. The most advisble plant is the Explode-o-Nut. And when planted on water, always put a lily pad under it

Second, its range. As stated, it can only zap zombies in a 3x3 area. Like its recharge, plant a defensive plant in front of it.

Third, its abilities. It will increase its damage if an electric plant is planted nearby. Plant any electric plant next to it, above it, or below it. But do not shovel or let it be eaten, as this will cause electricotton's damage to drop back to normal.

And lastly, its sun cost. Its sun cost is higher than any other plant. Usually this is fixed by using gold bloom. Gold blooms can give a lot of sun.

These faculties proves that this cannot be a primary offense.

Plant Food Effect
If fed plant food, the electricotton will release an electrical burst that deals 50 nds to any zombie that are inside its 5x5 area. This will also cause the electricotton to recharge for a longer rate. At this point, it will now recharge for a 25 second period.
