-weapon is also colorful and is easy to spot where it came from

Ability 1

Hypno Spores- zombies hit by it (summon zombies count) no longer control their character

-their character turns purple and attacks the closest zombie (summon zombies count)

-AI for brainwashed zombies is the same AI on easy garden ops

-effect wheres of over time but can where of instantly if they vanquish another zombie(summon zombies count) or if they have 20 health left

-brainwashed zombies can't get any lower than 20 health
