Pompom-shrooms are offensive-defensive mushrooms that change their stance once when they are eaten.
Overview[]
When first planted, a Pompom-shroom does not attack, and can take 55 bites from zombies. Once 5 seconds pass after it is eaten, it will reappear where it was eaten, and it can now do damage. It throws punches at a slightly slower rate than Bonk Choy, but it deals slightly more damage than Bonk Choy.
If another plant or some other thing that prevents a plant from being planted on a tile appears in the tile where the Pompom-shroom is eaten, then it will not respawn, and it will stay eaten.
If it is first defeated through some method other than eating (burning, crushing, thrown off the map, etc.), then it will not respawn.
It can only change form once. If it is eaten in its attack form, then it will not respawn.
The Pompom-shroom is based off of the Hericium erinaceus, otherwise known as the pompom mushroom or lion's mane mushroom.
Plant Food Ability[]
Pompom-shroom has two Plant Food abilities, depending on its stance. Using Plant Food on it when it is defensive doubles its maximum health by giving it armor. Using Plant Food on it in its offensive stance causes a similar effect as Bonk Choy or Wasabi Whip.
