Hypno-shroom

The Hypno-shroom is a one-shot mushroom that will cause the next zombie that touches it to turn around and attack other zombies in its way. It is the ultimate passive-aggressive plant, for those who dislike all that messy killing. They have swirly eyes, suggesting that they hypnotise.

Usage
Place the Hypno-shroom directly in the path of a zombie and that zombie will turn around and wack any other zombies that were behind it, including using any special abilities the zombie might have (like reach-arounds).

The Hypno-shroom does not affect Catapult Zombies or Zombonis as they smash the mushroom flat, while Pole Vaulting Zombies and Pogo Zombies that still have their poles or pogo sticks will simply jump over it.

Sleeps during the day

"Zombies are our friends," asserts Hypno-shroom. "They're badly misunderstood creatures who play a valuable role in our ecology. We can and should do more to bring them round to our way of thinking."

Cost: 75

Recharge: slow

Standard Levels
Mostly useful for dealing with powerful enemies like Football Zombies and Dancing Zombies. Note that if the Dancing Zombie eats a Hypno-shroom, all the back-up dancers he summons thereafter will be hypno-zombies. Be careful when placing the Hypno-shroom in front of a Dancing Zombie, or you will only get a Backup Dancer instead.

Vasebreaker: Third Vase
Try and get the Dancing Zombie, or you will end up with too many Backup Dancers to deal with.

Vasebreaker: Chain Reaction
The Football Zombie is probably the most important to get with the Hypno-shroom, as there are no Magnet-shrooms or Wall-nuts to defend with. Once he's taken care of, drop any remaining Hypno-shrooms on the far left, just in case any zombies make it past your Puff-shrooms and Left-facing Repeaters.
