Butter Cuddle

Butter Cuddles are defensive plants that latch down on up to three incoming zombies.

Overview
Butter Cuddles traps up to 3 zombies that walk onto its tile. It can also attach to zombies coming from behind it. Zombies captured are susceptible to plant projectiles, as well as explosions, Bonk Choy punches, or splash damage. This does not harm the Butter Cuddle. A Butter Cuddle cannot capture a Shovel Zombie or an Explorer Zombie. If a zombie dies in BC's grasp, then the plant can take in another zombie. Once it has captured 3 zombies, it will assume a defensive stance, where it can take 20 ndb. During this time it is vulnerable to being eaten. The BC releases any zombies that it held if it is eaten. Released zombies retain their damage they may have received.

Butter Cuddles undergo three stages of deterioration:

30-21 ndb: Can hold three zombies.

20-11 ndb: Can hold two zombies.

10 or less ndb: Can hold one zombie.

A Butter Cuddle can only contain a Gargantuar if it is at 30-21 ndb of health. Otherwise, the Gargantuar will smash it. Imps or shrunken zombies do not take up a spot. If a Butter Cuddle deteriorates while still holding more zombies than it should, it will not release the zombie.

If the Butter Cuddle is holding the last zombies on the board, then the stage will count them as dead and end anyways.

Butter Cuddle is based off of the Pinguicula (or the butterwort), an insectivorous plant. Its name is a portmanteau of butterwort and cuddle.
