Snow-shroom

The Snow-shroom is a catapult mushroom plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Final Showdown that lobs snowballs at zombies.

The snowballs it lobs will slow down the zombie it hits, but cause no damage. In addition, it will lob the snowballs not at the front zombie, but the front zombie that isn't already chilled or frozen, allowing it to slow down small groups at once for a low cost.

It functions as a useful early support plant, although the lack of damage and AoE makes it very bad later in levels, where Sap-fling or something more expensive like Winter Melon would likely prove a better choice.

It is unlocked after beating Night 6 of Hidden Base.

Origin
His name is a portmanteau of "snow", referring to the fact that he lobs snowballs, and "mushroom", the type of plant this plant is based on.

Appearance
A somewhat tall mushroom with an icy-blue coloured cap and a calm expression on its cap. The tip of the cap has an equally icy-looking catapult arm sticking out behind it with a snowball inside.

Strategies
It's an early plant that can buy you extra time to fight off zombies, comboing well with Puff-shrooms to potentially let a few of them work together to take down even a Buckethead Zombie. While useful early on, the usefulness drops off later in longer levels, making it better to use Sap-fling or even save up for something like a Winter Melon. If you do wish to use it in longer levels, you could try buffing its attack speed with Berrainy or plant more Snow-shrooms and hope they don't end up targeting the same zombie at the same time. If they stagger their attacks correctly, then they could slow more zombies than one, although this would be inconsistent and take up a lot of space. During the day, the extra cost of the Coffee Bean makes it rather worthless as Sap-fling gets a similar effect (albeit slowing a space instead of specific zombies, and not affecting attack speed in PvZ:TFS) for 25 sun less.
