Second Banana

Second Bananas are tall, lane-diverting, defensive plants that bring life-threatening zombies towards itself.

Overview
When a zombie is about to enter your house, Second Banana will attract the zombie to the square it is on. It also attracts any zombies that are three tiles back from the endangered row's final tile. Once Second Banana does this, it also supplies the player with an extra 100 sun.

After attracting any zombies, Second Banana must recharge for 10 seconds. During this time, it cannot attract any more zombies, but its health does not suffer from the cool-down. After 10 seconds, Second Banana can do its attack again, but it will not release any more sun.

As a defensive plant, Second Banana can be healed through Wall-nut First Aid. It visibly degrades when it has 50 ndb, 30 ndb, and 10 ndb of health. Second Banana also loses its tallness traits at its final degrade.

Second Banana is based off of the banana plant and its fruit. Its name is a reference to the term "second banana," which refers to the second-in-command or the second most important person in a facility. Its name may also allude to the phrase "second chance," as its ability gives the player another shot at not dying.

Plant Food Ability
Using Plant Food on Second Banana causes it to attract every zombie in the last 4 columns to its spot. It also gains armor that grants it an extra 45 ndb of health. This completely heals the Second Banana.

Strategies
Second Banana should not be relied on as the player's only form of defense, as Tall-nut has more health for a lower price and recharge. Second Banana's value lies upon its ability.

Gargantuars easily defeat Second Banana, due to their ability to potentially plow through every plant in a row, and then it can be brought to Second Banana's row to do the same. However, Second Banana can potentially combat Gargantuars, as a SB planted close to the front of the lawn helps push a Gargantuar back.

Second Banana is particularly useful against flying zombie. These zombies, such as Balloon Zombie, can quickly fly over your defenses. However, due to SB's height, it can block these zombies from passing.

Differences Between Second Banana and Security Gourd
Security Gourd is a power-up that costs gems, while Second Banana is a plant that costs sun. Security Gourd also instantly kills the offending zombie, while knocking back every other zombie, while Second Banana attracts multiple offending zombies, while doing nothing to the rest. SB is also a defensive plant.
