Each projectile carries enough force to knock opponents off balance without causing lasting harm. Fire rate: one pea every 1.5 seconds with pinpoint precision. In team sports, Peashooters excel at mid-range harassment and zone control due to their peas having a small amount of aoe or area of effect exclusive to regular peashooters and not their variants.

It has a blue and cold head, with a faint mist emanates from the shooting aperture. Capabilities: Fires ice-infused projectiles that significantly slow opponent movement and reaction times for 30 seconds upon impact.

The head is distinctly melon-shaped with visible rind patterns. Capabilities: Launches massive melons that deliver very heavy damage to primary targets and splash damage to nearby opponents. One of the most powerful projectile plants, capable of changing match momentum with single shots. Slower fire rate but devastating area effect Winter Melon Physical Description: A large catapult plant similar to Melon-pult but with a blue melon body and blue melon projectile, and icicles hanging from the launching mechanism. The melons themselves appear frozen with visible ice crystals. Capabilities: Combines the devastating damage of standard melons with Snow Pea's coldness effect.

Scaredy-shroom Physical Description: A nervous-looking mushroom with large, worried eyes and a tendency to physically shrink when threatened. They have a large and wide cap and a thin white stem. Capabilities: Possesses exceptional long-range accuracy matching professional Peashooters, but will retreat into its cap and cease firing if enemies approach within 10 feet, however if a pumpkin is protecting them they will not hide and instead fire faster in a panic with a minor drop in accuracy.

Ice-shroom (Regulated) Physical Description: A light blue mushroom covered in frost, with a cap that appears to be made of solid ice and ice spikes. Constantly emits cold vapor and creates small ice formations on nearby surfaces. Capabilities: it creates arena-wide freeze effects, temporarily freezing solid all opponents for 10 seconds while causing minimal damage. The effect gradually wears off as opponents warm up, from completely frozen solid to major slow to minor slow to back to normal speed

Doom-shroom (Heavily Regulated) Physical Description: A black, ominous mushroom with a foreboding appearance and glowing red eyes. The cap appears to pulse with barely contained energy, and the surrounding air shimmers with heat distortion. Capabilities: Creates devastating explosions that can destroy buildings, instantly eliminating most opponents. The blast leaves a large, searing hot crater that goes away in about an hour give or take.

Gloom-shroom Physical Description: A dark mushroom similar in size to Fume-shroom, with its face positioned directly above its cap. Eight holes are arranged around the perimeter of the cap, each capable of projecting dense toxic fumes in different directions. Capabilities: Projects dense toxic fumes in all eight directions around itself, creating a 9-foot radius area of effect. Limited range but devastating close-quarters control. Opponents caught in the fume clouds take continuous damage until they escape the area.

Magnet-shroom Physical Description: A mushroom with a magnet-like cap. It has 2 eyes on the magnet-like cap, but lacking a mouth. Other plants can still understand it though. Capabilities: Capable of removing and disabling metal equipment from opponents within a large radius, including armor, tools, and mechanical devices. After each use, requires 30 seconds to recharge its magnetic field. Can neutralize heavily armored opponents instantly but is vulnerable during cooldown periods

Gold Magnet Physical Description: A mushroom with golden coloration and more pronounced magnetic field effects than standard Magnet-shroom. Capabilities: Specialized in stripping opposing zombies of their gear, and can gather up to five items simultaneously, making it valuable for resource collection events but limited in direct combat application. Faster recharge time than magnet-shroom.
