The Bloom And Doom plant species is shaped like any "ordinary" garden plant, but they have a face that lacks some features depending on their lineage. For example, the piranha strain lacks eyes, while the kernel strain lacks of mouth.
History[edit]
A long time ago, a druid named Dave needed an army to vanquish the annoying undead that plagued him and his life of solitude. He formulated a plan to create Zombie-fighting sylvans. One type, the Sunflower, was able to heal their allies while incinerating their enemies. Then there was the Peashooter, a swift plant able to fire potent seeds that burst on impact. Another was the Chomper, who was able to devour its enemies in digestive fluids. Next, the Cactus, who used their keen eyes and sharp spines to pierce their enemies from afar. Another type, known as the Kernel Corn, fired corn kernels at high speed to mow down the undead. The Rose used arcane energy embedded in their thorns to unleash powerful magic. Finally, the Citron, a kind of cyborg orange, fired super-heated lasers to melt these abominations.
