“	Plant Headbutter Lettuce to bash and butter zombies.	”
—Penny

Headbutter Lettuce is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 8.5.1 update. He deals heavy close ranged damage to zombies both in front and behind him in a similar manner to Bonk Choy. He also has a chance to occasionally butter the zombies he attacks in a similar manner to Kernel-pult.

Headbutter Lettuce requires 250 seed packets to unlock it for free. The player can earn them through store offers, playing Piñata Parties in 2020 Fall Food Fight event.

Origins

Headbutter Lettuce is based on the butter lettuce, a cultivar of lettuce known for its loose formation of leaves, sweet taste, and tender flavor.

His name is a portmanteau of the words "head" as he is a head of lettuce, "butter lettuce" from the plant he is based on, and "headbutt", referring to his method of attack.

Strategies

Headbutter Lettuce is a quick attacker that can easily take down many zombies. Not only does he do a bunch of damage at a fast pace, but he can also stall efficiently the bigger threats with his butter and high health. If used appropriately, he can deal with zombie waves on his own, as both his recharge and sun cost make him affordable in many case scenarios. However, his short range renders him very vulnerable in some occasions, so using support plants like Kernel-pult is good as he cannot handle too many zombies at once. If the player wants to choose a plant for close-range attacks, Pokra makes the better choice as it can attack multiple zombies at once as well as slowing them down and having a DPS that is comparable to that of Headbutter Lettuce.

In certain worlds, you might want to refrain from using it in favor of other plants, these mainly being Lost City and Dark Ages, where you can encounter Parasol Zombie and Jester Zombie respectively, as both these zombies are immune to his butter and can even use it against your strategy, so beware, as other plants may be better to get rid of these zombies. However, this should not be much of a problem, as Headbutter Lettuce has such a high health that those said projectiles cannot pose a threat to him.

Headbutter Lettuce can be considered a straight upgrade of Bonk Choy, if one does not take his Plant Food power into account. Although he can stun some random zombies, he deals much less damage than that of a Bonk Choy. However, his high power output can compensate for this problem, so Headbutter Lettuce can replace Bonk Choy in many scenarios.
