I like both of these plants but I honestly prefer the Parsnip.
Guacodile:
Is able to shoot from a distance.
Eats zombies in one lane once the zombie eats them.Can work on land and water but is more effective on land.
I plant the Guacodile in the water and seems to be versatile.
Parsnip:
Is a short range plant.
Once eaten, the Parsnip will 'snip' the zombies in one lane.
