Chomper

The Chomper is a multi-use one-shot-kill plant. It appears to be loosely based on Audrey II, the carnivorous, man-eating plant from Little Shop of Horrors.

Usage
The Chomper can kill any zombies other than a Gargantuar or Dr. Zomboss in one bite - even Zombonis. It will spend about 40 seconds chewing its meal, during which time it is vulnerable and cannot eat another zombie.

If a Gargantuar is in front of it, and there are no other zombies that the Chomper can possibly eat (apart from the Gargantuar), and it is not currently chewing, it will bite away at the Gargantuar endlessly and ineffectively until it gets squished.

Chomper

Chompers can devour a zombie whole, but they are vulnerable while chewing.

Damage: massive

Range: very short

Special: long delay between chomps

Chomper almost got a gig doing stunts for The Little Shop of Horrors but it fell through when his agent demanded too much on the front end. Chomper's not resentful, though. He says it's just part of the business.

Cost: 150

Recharge: fast

Standard Levels
The Chomper has a range of two squares in front of it, so it can eat a zombie on the other side of a Wall-nut or Tall-nut. Like all high-damage plants, it's best against tough zombies, or when a zombie gets past your defenses somehow.

Zomboogie puzzle level
Dancing Zombies are the most effective against the Chomper because they can continue to summon Backup Dancers. Just be sure not to put the Dancing Zombie in a lane with a Chomper on the first row, and if there's a Chomper on the second row, place the Dancing Zombie on the far right so that he will start summoning his Backup dancers before he gets to the first row of plants. When all else fails, use the regular Zombie to feed the Chomper, then eat it with another zombie.

There's no time limit on these puzzles, so plan your first moves carefully. There's usually only one lane with Chompers, so that's generally a good candidate for a Digger Zombie (remember - Chompers can't chomp behind themselves), but remember that there is almost always a Magnet-shroom close enough to steal the Digger Zombie's pick, so you may have to wait until you've earned enough Sun to afford a Bungee Zombie to get rid of the Magnet-shroom before you can send a Digger after the Chompers. Also, be warned: if a Chomper is in the leftmost column, it can eat any Digger Zombies that try to eat it.
