Damage per shot

Around this wiki, especially on plant and zombie pages, you may see things about how specific zombies take a specific amount of normal damage shots. Below is the explanation of such.

Explanation
Normal damage shots (nds) are the basic measurement of damage in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time and Plants vs. Zombies Online and are equal to one Pea of damage for one nds. A bite from a Zombie may be referred to as one normal damage shot, but this is disproved in ZomBotany and ZomBotany 2 where the Peashooting ZomBotany Zombies do less damage with Peas than with bites. However, this is proved when you hypnotize a zombie, because the bites from hypnotized zombies do the same amount of damage as a normal damage projectile, while normal bites do 2.5 damage. Some projectiles from plants can do more than just 1 damage, and can up to about 4 nds (not counting instant kills), such as the Cabbage-pult, Melon-pult and peas ignited by a Torchwood. Instant kills deal a heavy amount of damage, all will deal about 90 nds. However, this may be disproved in ZomBotany 2 where a full-health Tall-nut Zombie can be exploded by a corn cob, Cherry Bomb, Jalapeno or Doom-shroom, even though it deals more damage than what instant kills usually deal to other zombies, so this may be a glitch. However, Potato Mines or Squashes can't kill a full-health Tall-nut Zombie, despite having the same damage as the plants that cause explosions above. Chompers will deal 2 normal damage shots (10 in PvZ2) to any zombie that it can't devour. Each new projectile from a new plant deals a certain amount of damage too.

Trivia

 * The Corn Cob is the only instant-kill projectile.
 * Butter is the only projectile that can paralyze zombies.
