Twirlip

 * -|Rare =

Twirlip is the first plant obtained in Tornado Valley in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. She lobs bulbs at zombies, and when she defeats a zombie her bulb stays planted in the ground for defense. Both her and her bulbs do a knockback attack when eaten, which knocks zombies back one tile. She deals 30, and she has a firing speed of one bulb per 3 seconds.

Origins
She is based on the real-life tulip. Her name is a portmanteau of twirl, referring to her melee attack before being eaten, and the aforementioned tulip.

Plant Food effect
When fed Plant Food, Twirlip will launch five bulbs at the five zombies closest to home.

Arma-mint upgrade
When boosted by, Twirlip will do an additional 110 DPS, she will make seven bulbs when fed with Plant Food, and her melee attack will knockback zombies two tiles instead of one. Her bulbs' health also increase by 900.

Rare counterpart
Rare Twirlip is Twirlip's rare counterpart. After ten seconds, her bulbs will turn into another Twirlip. Additionally, her knockback also now slows down zombies.

Strategies
Twirlip's bulb ability can come in handy when facing weak targets such as Cockroach Zombie or even. Although a Twirlip bulb doesn't have nearly enough health as a, it still has above-average health and can sufficiently stall a zombie.

It is recommended to pair up Twirlip with another long-ranged attacking plant, since by herself Twirlip takes quite a while to defeat a zombie. A better alternative is to use Twirlip in pairs of two or more.

Melee ranged plants like or  work well with Twirlip's bulbs.
