Cataloupe

Cataloupes are instant-use plants that continuously pounce on the zombie closest to them until they go off the map.

Overview
When planted, Cataloupe will immediately charge at the closest zombie to it. The zombie hit receives 20 points of damage. Cataloupe then charges the next closest zombie (to the right), now dealing 21 damage points. This goes on, with the damage increasing by 1 each time, until Cataloupe reaches the end of the board, where it will then explode in a 3x3 area, dealing whatever the next increment of damage would have been.

There are limits to what Cataloupe can pounce. For one, it cannot hit zombies behind it, even if they are close-by. It can also not attack another zombie on the same tile as the previously pounced zombie.

Cataloupe will immediately explode if it hits a Gargantuar as its target. There, it will blow up in a 3x3 radius, dealing 35 points of damage, no matter what the damage was before.

If there is a Bush Puppy present on the board when Cataloupe is planted, then the Cataloupe will start off dealing 25 damage points.

Cataloupe is based off of the cantaloupe fruit. Its name is a portmanteau of "cat" and "cantaloupe."

Strategies
Cataloupe works best when planted at the back of the lawn, towards the player's house. Here it has the most zombies available to it, as very little zombies will be behind it, out of its reach.

Planting it when there are a lot of zombies helps as well, as then it can rack up its damage to very high levels.
