Mushroom

Mushroom
Tier	6
Ability	Give one pet the Mushroom perk. Come back as a 1/1 after fainting.

Mushroom is a Tier 6 Food, available in the Turtle Pack. Feeding a pet a Mushroom gives that pet the Mushroom perk. When a pet with the Mushroom perk faints, it summons a 1/1 copy of itself at the same level.

Summoned copies are considered "new" pets, with no memory of their old selves before they faint. For example if a Parrot faints and comes back, it will not keep the copied abilities. Conversely, if a pet that had run out of triggers faints, it will be resummoned with its triggers replenished.

Strategy

Mushroom's biggest strength is giving pets an additional chance to trigger their abilities. Some examples include the Elephant, Turtle, Deer, Mammoth. It combines well with Scorpion, enabling it to break Melon on its first attack, then respawn with Peanut and knock out the exposed enemy.

It can also be used as a defensive perk for support pets that don't care much about their own stats, such as Turkey, Tiger, Snake. Mushroom here is as strong if not stronger than Garlic and Melon, since the pet is guaranteed to survive any Start of battle snipers.

Trivia

• The Mushroom's ability could be a direct reference to Super Mario.
