His Pats Leave Zombies Flat

”

Butternut Squash is a Rare Trap plant introduced in Plants vs. Zombies 3. He squashes and butters nearby zombies.

About

Butternut Squash is a Rare plant obtained by the player after beating Floor 17 of Devour Tower along with Caramel Popcorn. His seed packets are more likely to be dropped in Sunnyfield Farm breakout levels.

He's similar to the Squash, as he attacks the first zombie that approaches and deals heavy damage to it, and other zombies on its tile.

Unlike the Squash however, he butters nearby zombies in a 3x3 area around the tile that he squashes in. Any zombie that survives his initial attack will also be buttered.

Origins

Butternut Squash is based on the butternut squash, a type of winter squash that is known for its sweet, nutty taste. His name references both his real-world origin and his ability to butter zombies.

His Tacobility is a pun on "batter up".
