Gargoyam

Gargoyam is a plant that acts as a high-health defense on daytime levels, but acts as a powerful low-health offense on nighttime levels.

Overview
On daytime levels, the Gargoyam absorbs 180 damage and degrades upon the 40th bite, 100th bite and 140th bite before being eaten on the 180th bite. With the PF effect, it degrades upon 20 bites, where the cracks in its body appear once more.

On nighttime levels, the Gargoyam absorbs 4 normal damage bites and degrades upon the 2nd bite, gaining a scar over one its left eye. It deals 7.5 damage per slash to make up for its lack of high health and slashes once every 2 seconds.

Plant Food Effect
In daytime levels: the cracks on its body disappear, giving it 20 more health, equaling 200 health in total. In nighttime levels: flies into the sky and dives down, dealing damage to all zombies directly under it in a 3x3 area.

Almanac Entry
Toughness: Very High

Recharge: Slow

Gargoyam acts as a high-health defense in daytime levels but acts as a powerful close-range offense in nighttime levels.

While he may seem like a goth, Gargoyam is actually a happy soul just like you and I. Currently he is dating a statue from an ancient civilization. He's into that kind of stuff.

Strategies
This plant can be used as a more expensive Tall-nut in daytime levels, but a very powerful Bonk Choy in nighttime levels. Due to its high health, it can be used efficiently with Bonk Choys. However, remember that its health significantly decreases on nighttime levels to average health.

Trivia

 * Its name is a portmanteau of 'gargoyle' and 'yam'.
 * Its idle animation involves Gargoyam flapping its wings. However, it only does this animation in nighttime levels.
 * It was originally planned to fly to a different tile if shot at by long-ranged zombies, crushing any zombie or plant it landed. However, this made it too similar to Gooseberry and Riberry, both animal plants with a similar ability.
