I have been noticing that on a lot of pages, it has been saying things like 'Make sure you kill the Octo Zombie.' I think there is a lot of things wrong with this. First things first, kill sounds too dark. It doesn't sound right put into context like 'Doom-shroom explodes when planted, killing all zombies in it's AOE.' in Plants vs. Zombies, a cartoony innocent children's game, that even hosted their own children's day in 2016.

Also, 'killing' is also possibly even incorrect, as well. You never actually really see any zombies die, especially in games like Plants vs. Zombies 1 and 2. For example, when almost every zombie gets 'killed' in PvZ1, they never really actually die. Their head just pops off, and they fall to the ground. However, zombies can't really ever be killed, and zombies(or at least in PvZ) are not affected at all when a part of them falls off, as seen in that Plants vs. Zombies 2 Chinese Kongfu World Trailer where that Kongfu zombie loses his head but is perfectly fine, and starts looking for it.

Another reason to back this up is also from Plants vs. Zombies Heroes. In that game, they never address plants and zombies being 'killed' as, well, being 'killed'. Instead, they say destroy, and after an hero 'dies', you always usually see them A-okay every next round!

This is why I think we should change 'kill' to something else. What I had in mine was 'defeat', as I think it sounds much better and more child friendly and more fitting, but 'destroy' also works, as it's what PvZH refers to it to. Also, just to mention, in the PvZ Twitch livestreams, they DO mostly refer to it as 'kill', but..Y'know..That's not really an official source, and they never use the actual terms for in-game words anyway.

The choices are...
