Bio
Almanac Entry: "Purple Devil isn't liked by Plants or Zombies. Although he's ruthless and a good fighter for the Plants, he also is known for testing his strength on other Plants, punishing those who disagree with him with his vines, and taking candy from the youngest of Peashooters. Pure evil, they deem him. Pure. Evil."

How to Obtain
The player must beat Purple Devil's Spooky Skirmish - Level 8 to obtain Purple Devil. Purple Devil's Spooky Skirmish is found by beating Gardensdale and pressing the prompt that appears when entering the story mode from the main menu. ("Unlock Purple Devil!")

Strategy
Purple Devil is a good defensive plant, but it shouldn't be your go-to when you have others like Wall-Nut. If you want to use it like an Endurian, you'll want good attackers behind it to protect it so that its poison capabilities can go to use. If your intent is dealing damage and getting rid of it, like on a level which has a Plant restriction, then it is good alone. All in all, it is a costly Plant with a slow recharge, but it works well.
