Butter in Plants vs. Zombies

Butter in Plants vs. Zombies 2

Butter is one of the two projectiles launched by Kernel-pults (the other being kernels. It will stun most zombies in any game it appears, as well as deal 40 DPS to the zombie it hits, although it is still launched slower than peas from a Peashooter like any other lobbed-shot plant. However, it is launched much less often than kernels, as it has only a 25% chance of being lobbed. Butter will paralyze zombies for a longer time in Plants vs. Zombies 2.

History

Plants vs. Zombies

When a zombie is hit by butter with the exception of Zombonis, Pogo Zombies (that still have their pogo stick), Dr. Zomboss and any vaulting zombie that vaults at the right timing, it is temporarily immobilized. After five seconds, the butter will disappear from the zombie's head. Also in any Co-op Mode on the console versions, the player can manually butter a zombie by pressing the  button (Xbox 360) or  button (PlayStation 3), although this butter does not do any damage to zombies.

Buttered Popcorn

In the mini-game Buttered Popcorn, which is exclusive to the iPad and Android versions of Plants vs. Zombies, the player has the ability to freeze a zombie in their tracks with butter by simply tapping their head. Because the only offensive plants in this mini-game are four Cob Cannons, it is crucial to paralyze the zombies with butter so that the zombies do not eat the Cob Cannons.

Plants vs. Zombies 2

In this game, the immobilizing time is much longer (8 seconds). A butter stick can instantly kill a Seagull Zombie, Zombie Parrot, Pelican Zombie, or Bug Zombie. It will also force any flying Dodo Rider Zombies to land. Butter can also be applied using the butter zombie in Vasebreaker.
