Mosschops (PvZ2)

Mosschops is a plant unlocked after completing the Day 7 of Permian Climax, that has a quite high toughness and will knock back zombies that come too close, stunning them for 5 seconds but leaving him defenseless

Origins and appearance
This plant is based on mosses, small low-growing plants from the order bryophyte, and a Moschops, a large herbivorous therapsid from the Permian known for his large size, that may have headbutted its predators and rivals to fend them off

Plant food effect
When fed Plant Food, he will knock back zombies in a 3x3 area, and will then grown larger and stomp 3 lanes, inflicting a total of 1800 damage on all of them. However, he won't come back afterwards

Pepper-Mint upgrade
When upgraded by Renforce-Mint, he will send zombies back 2 tiles and have his cooldown reduced to 2 seconds

Strategies
This plant is basically an upgraded Wall-Nut, being able to stand even more longer with his knockback ability as he will only be eaten for a short amount of time, making him even more durable. He however has less HP than a real Wall-Nut, so he can't compete against certain zombies. To make a good use of his ability, try to have him continously throw back zombies on something like a Spikerock or a Celery Stalker ; this however less useful in Permian Climax, as both will be eaten. In this world, it is useful against Lystrosaur Zombies, as it will knock them back when they pop out of the ground, leaving your defenses more easily able to kill them and not even letting them start to eat them. This especially true in Lush Season, where burrowing zombies are hard to see and can easily surprise anyone. To optimize it's abilities, you can try to use a classic defensive plant to make zombies stack up and get knocked back at the same time by a single headbutt. With an Infi-Nut, this can allow him to indefinitely stall zombies, buying some time for you to have better defenses. This however won't work if there is too much zombies or if they end up attacking directly the Mosschops and not the defensive plant.
