Li'l Mallow

Li'l Mallow is a plant that makes zombies' mouths sticky when they eat it. It is inspired by Cheeseweed.

Ability
When a zombie eats Li'l Mallow, it's mouth becomes sticky. This causes zombies to chew 2x slower (this does not effect the speed of the zombie itself, but how quickly it chews). In fog, Li'l Mallow lights up a 3x3 area with it's torch. If lit by an Explorer Zombie, Li'l Mallow is still destroyed, but explodes into a 3x3 fire, which deals 2 damage to zombies that step in it every 10 seconds for 1 minute (or until it is defeated). The fire lasts for about 10 seconds. If there is a plant where the fire should be, the fire won't appear on that square, just on the squares that are empty. Li'l Mallow cannot make the mouths of robotic zombies, or any zombies that's mouths are protected or not flesh, sticky. Li'l Mallow has about 20 NDB.

Strategy
You shouldn't put these plants in pumpkins, as it's ability to make zombies' mouths sticky will be uneffective until the pumpkin is destroyed. They already have a decent amount of health anyway. A good idea is to plant these 2 squares in front of the other plants so it's 3x3 fire is more effective.

Almanac Entry
Li'l Mallow really hates it when people say he's cute. The last time someone did that, he burned that person with his torch.
