Plants are living organisms that belong to the Plantae kingdom, obtaining most of their energy from sun (which is used to plant them, as you may have already guessed) through the wonderful process of photosynthesis. These valiant veggies are your only defense against the undead assailants you'll battle in Wildside. Plants have base features and mechanics, and they have Gear - Gear is sort of like an unlockable alternate upgrade that can be equipped to improve a plant's effectiveness in gameplay.
All percentage-based damage increases for plants are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5, and the nearest multiple of 25 for plant health. This is to prevent ugly numbers that don't divide into each other. In addition, all plant attacks or abilities (for example, Peashooter shooting peas or Sunflower producing sun) have some degree of randomness (around +/-15% or so) built into them to stop things from looking too robotic.
Special keywords: Note that the word "attack" extends to things like producing sun for example.

ALMANAC ENTRY
GEAR
Peashooter has loads of questions about the Bloomlands, how he got here, where all those zombies are coming from, why burritos are SO DANG GOOD, how Sunflower's production speed got nerfed twice, and where Dublin fits into the global energy crisis. He doesn't let those swirling questions get in the way of his awesome peashooting, though!

Sunflower

STATISTICS
Last seen at Level 1-1

Sun Cost: 50 Recharge: 8s Health: 250 Sun Production: 25 Production Speed: 30s
ALMANAC ENTRY
GEAR
Sunflower produces sun at a moderate rate because, frankly, producing anything else would just be silly. Producing waffles? Irrelevant. Producing moon? Illogical. Producing nuclear weapons capable of immediately destroying every single zombie within a radius of several miles? Useful, but there's not enough in the budget for that.

STATISTICS
Last seen at Level 1-3
Bonk Choys rapidly punch zombies that get too close to them, and are capable of dealing with zombies that are in front of them as well as zombies that end up behind them.
In recent times, it's become increasingly difficult for the other plants to believe that Bonk Choy's so-called "Furious Fists" are really furious at all. Just look at them. Do those puny little finaglers look angry? No, they're just disappointed. They make for great father figures though - perhaps Bonk Choy needs to see a doctor.

Cherry Bomb's been feeling a bit more explody lately. Why? Well, nobody's really sure. Maybe it's the brisk autumn breeze making them feel on edge. Huh? It's summer?

"I understand that it might be alarming to some that I'm so interesting in bringing little seedy babies into this world, but I can assure everyone that I've made sure to do the correct amount of research and believe that I'm ready to assume a motherly role," she says calmly. "Amogus."

My favorite part of PvZ Wildside was when Vamporcini said "It's vampin' time!" and vamp'd all over the floor. It was truly one of the moments of all time. Closely following that one time Chomper stuck Snapdragon in his mouth and started gargling. It's... difficult to top that one.

ALMANAC ENTRY
GEAR

ALMANAC ENTRY
GEAR
The Twin Sunflowers, despite their cheery appearances, are dangerous mob bosses that deal in sun. And despite being mob bosses, they have no way to defend themselves because they left their guns at home. They also physically cannot hold guns, as they do not have hands. They're not very good mob bosses.

STATISTICS
Last seen at Level 3-32

Gatling Pea spends all his time on the couch, blaming all of his life problems on others. "Those darn liberals," he roars with uncharacteristic anger. "They're ruining my life!

OVERVIEW
STATISTICS
Last seen at Gates and Trials
Ragweeds unleash a powerful sneeze when planted that pushes back and damages all zombies in an area in front of them, then continue to periodically sneeze but with considerably less force and a chance to knock zombies back.
Ragweed's only notable character trait (besides being a festering wart in my side) is being impossibly sick at all times. Not sick as in cool. Sick as in sick as in sick. He can't stop sneezing. He utterly REFUSES to stop sneezing. He sneezes at the grocery store. He sneezes on zombies. He sneezes on Snapdragon and Chomper as they are embraced in the wondrous act of love. "Wow Ragweed, that's gross. I'd love it if you went to sneeze on Peashooter instead," Chomper grunts. "I find myself agreeing with my lovely compatriot here. Though I do find myself wondering why you come to do such acts like these?" Snap dragons. But there is no proper answer to his inquiry. He sneezes because he must. They are watching. It is his turn.

3. Deploy and attack knockback raised by 34%.

Snow Pea

Garlic
OVERVIEW

Garlics divert zombies that bite them into either the lane above or below them.

Chilly Peppers explode when planted, dealing damage to nearby zombies and unleashing a powerful freezing effect that freezes zombies in their lane. In addition, Chilly Peppers also briefly chill zombies in adjacent lanes.
Chilly Pepper wasn't originally a freezy weird blue pepper. He used to actually be someone who enjoyed himself as a Jalapeño. Oh how times have changed. Nowadays Chilly Pepper's soul is so cold and empty that it turned him blue and icy. He could not care less about Peashooter, or Sunflower, or any of the others. He's just really mean and stupid for absolutely no reason. "Get cold, you funt." Is all he would comment on the matter.
1. Explosion damage raised from 200 to 400.
2. Chill duration raised from 5s to 12s.
3. Freezes zombies instead of chilling them.
Winter Wreath

Can't she get a life or something? Turns out, no. This is all Winter Wreath has. She was doomed with the responsibility of being themed around obscure winter decor, so now she has no choice. "Have a happy nude year!"

3. Gains +25% potency on zombies faster than 4s/tile.
Chomper
OVERVIEW
STATISTICS
Last seen at Level 5-4
Chompers eat a zombie whole, but then take time to chew. They're vulnerable while chewing, and resort to a melee bite attack against zombies that aren't quite edible.
Chomper takes a look at the two boxes of rubbers. One of them is super super extra massively large, and the other is normal sized. Which one should he get? Would the element of surprise be a superior tactic for an advantage in the bedroom? Would it instead be great to get their hopes up with the almost comically large condom? Chomper doesn't know. Snapdragon probably doesn't care either way. The rubbers aren't what he's there for. He's there for a sweet, sweet time.
1. Attack range raised from 2 to 3.
2. Chew time reduced from 15s to 11s.
3. RUMBLE 1: Produces 25 sun.
Celery Stalker

Celery Stalkers deal heavy damage to zombies behind them with powerful punches and hide underground.
Celery Stalker #1 thinks of himself as a hitman, a trained assassin, a special agent for the plant forces. Celery Stalker #2 thinks he's full of houseplant. Celery Stalker #3 would add on, but he's been deported to Sweden for seducing a tricycle.

ALMANAC ENTRY
GEAR
Solar Azalea shakes out another big sun. That's how it started. And that's how it's gonna keep going. "You know, I'm a centerpiece in our economy," she brags to you over a cup of tea.

Bit gnarly out today for that kinda thing, ain't it? What's a therapist?"
1. Produces 1.25s faster per Solar Azalea in 3x3.

Ghostleeks float down the lane, invisible to any and all enemies. They swing their sword at zombies, revealing themselves, but dealing high damage. Lasts for a limited time.
Ghostleeks are legendary warriors from times of old, with zombie-slicing knowledge that can fill up an entire encyclopedia. They only became ghosts because Larry ordered expired sushi for one of their birthday parties and they all violently exploded. DARN you, Larry.

3. DROP: First attack deals +180 damage.
Overthyme
OVERVIEW
STATISTICS
Last seen at Level 5-28
Overthymes temporarily power up other plants, giving them a massive attack and ability speed boost for a short time along with a permanent smaller speed boost that stacks indefinitely. Tap on Overthyme to arm, tap on another plant to boost that plant.
Overthyme normally wouldn't take up a job like this. It's way safer at the 24-hour fast food joint he worked at before. But here the pay grade is way larger, he's met some great friends, and, most importantly, any excess boosting material is left to him for snorting after hours. Based!
1. Speed boost also impacts recharge time.
2. Minor speed boost raised from 5% to 10%.
3. ECHO 1: Cooldown reduced by 4s, up to 20s.
Tiger Grass
OVERVIEW
STATISTICS
Last seen at Level 5-31
Tiger Grasses send out grass tigers towards zombies that come too close, which continue to run down the lane and slash at zombies until defeated.
Tiger Grass waits in the bushes for the perfect time to strike. Her reflexes are fast, strong, unpredictable, and chaotic. It's how she got away from the police in the National Bank Incident of '87. She hopes the next zombie walking by has a lot of money in their wallet.
1. FLAG: Maximum tiger health raised by 100.

ALMANAC ENTRY
GEAR
Rhubarbarian, despite his name and utterly inhumane fighting style, is actually quite civilized by plant standards. He places a napkin on his lap when dining, always says please, and brushes his teeth after every meal. For a comparison, look at Snapdragon and Chomper on the couch over there. Whatever they're doing is explicitly NOT civilized and Rhubarbarian would advise you to stop looking at them. It's for your own good.
1. Spawn damage raised from 1500 to 4000.

3. Damage raised from 75 to 100.

Homing Thistles fire spikes at the closest zombie to your house, dealing heavy damage to them with bonus damage to armored enemies. Each spike has a small chance to be a quick-moving critical hit that deals even MORE damage.

1. Critical hits inflict STUN for 2s.
2. Critical hits damage all zombies on Tile.
3. Critical hit chance raised from 25% to 34%.
Blockbuster

STATISTICS
Last seen at Gates and Trials
Blockbusters lash out with thorny vines that drag zombies to them so that they can deliver a proper, brutal, beating. In addition, zombies that attack Blockbusters will take even more damage from their thorny thorns.
Blockbuster's best friend is Carrotillery. "I am very tired, as it has been a long day," she says. "Please leave me be." You better leave her alone unless you want a face full of NUCLEAR CARROT BOMBS! Which you most likely want to avoid. It's not good for your health. Or, really, any part of your puny existence. Funt.

Treegenerations are defensive plants which swipe at nearby zombies, constantly regenerate lost health, and turn into a sapling when eaten. The sapling turns back into a Treegeneration with half health after a short time and can't be eaten normally.
Treegeneration doesn't just explode and turn into an itsy bitsy sapling when he's defeated. He also does that when he's in an awkward social situation, when there's a lull in the conversation, and when he's approached by the ladies. Surprisingly, the ladies love it! Too bad he's a sapling and can't press the advantage. Adda boy, Treegeneration!

Magical Fruit
OVERVIEW
STATISTICS
Last seen at Gates and Trials
Magical Fruit fires piercing bolts down her lane with limited range, which deal more damage to armored foes. However, her health isn't quite as high as some of the other Monarchs.
Magical Fruit knows no magic, and her energy bolts are actually really realistic hallucinations. They only deal damage because zombies are REALLY imaginative, and also because of the fact they know she stems from Road Trip Classic. Racist!
Dazzling Eye Magical Fruit increases her range from 4 to 3x4, and attacks every 0.1s for 5s with tripled damage, dealing a total of 1500 damage (2250 to armored zombies) when this ability is activated. Recharge: 12s

What's so Peculiar about the Peculiar Pear? Hard to say, honestly. Sure, he looks like a crusty metal crab. So what? He turns zombies into gigantic, towering Omega Imps. And what's so wrong with that? He even plays volleyball. Crazy, right? No. It's really a testament to your ragtag team of plants when someone this wacky pales in comparison to the others.

Veteran zombies can appear in Gates and Trials as improved, stronger versions of zombies you've faced before. He's big and mean and also an Imp. Drops 100 sun upon defeat.
The Omega Imp sizes over even the tallest of towering tyrants. His impeccable height and basketball prowess makes him a force to be reckoned with both on the lawn, and in his own home. Every doorway is too small for him. He has to physically get on his hands and knees and crawl through like the day he was born (5'2). He must shimmy quietly down the stairs or he may break through them and fall several stories. He's tried getting a warrant to expand his house doorways, but he found that it violates his warranty, so he can't. It's tough being omega. And imp. Simp. The goes

Rye's Ancient Hawk isn't just a strange, finger-following bird who shoots magical lightning at the innocents. He's also a wonderful friend to all. Rye's many extensive weeks of training the Ancient Hawk in his off time really paid off. He'd listen to your problems, and offer genuine and healthy advice to help improve yourself. He hooked up Chomper with the special pills when he needed them most. He even stood up to Peashooter and his dreadful nonsense when he tried to yell at Rye for accidentally leaving three specks of dirt in his general radius. Peashooter will never recover from the medical bills! Hip hip hooray!
Feathered Fury Ancient Hawk pulls all zombies in a 3x3 area around it to its tile and then obliterates them with a mystical lightning strike that deals 100 armor-piercing damage with Tile area. Recharge: 18s

STATISTICS
Last seen at Gates and Trials
Bun Chis smack zombies at close range with a three-hit combo and grow in power after each combo is completed. After growing enough power, they can be tapped to unleash a powerful Thunder Clap attack that will otherwise dissipate after a while if not used.
As the one who must not be named, Bun Chi is a furry, spiky bastard. Even Peashooter runs out of things to say when he's around them. Bun Chi is so absolutely unreasonably stupid and pointless that even gender evades them. Bun Chi crawled out of hell one day, drooling and shivering, and awkwardly shimmied their way into the Bloomlands. They do not deserve to be here, fighting along real plants. Shine Vine is more of a real plant than Bun Chi. Golf Leaf doesn't exist and he's more of a real plant. Dune Buckethead isn't even a plant and he's more real. Get lost, Bun Chi. Sink into the water and never return. Fatherless, loveless waste of time and sun. Madagascar!

"HfshsndhjdsnakaojsbsbsnNabsbaaaaaaaaa," gestated Bun Chi like a rabid dog. That just doesn't happen in a soundproof room. Though it's also worth mentioning she's also a fan(illa) of Allium. She doesn't mind all the wind Fanilla's got blowing about. If Fanilla could, she'd blow more than just wind for Allium. But she can't, so a good cuddle will have to do instead.

Crucibloom locks eyes with its siblings. They moan softly, twice, in unison. They begin the chanting. The singing and dancing will begin soon. Not immediately, as Crucibloom #8 doesn't like for its tomfoolerous actions to be put on display for the others (Crucibloom #11 in particular) to see. Not too late either, as Crucibloom #19 kind of zones out after a while. Once the singing and the dancing happen, the ritual will be complete. The one who chomps, slobbers, and performs random divine acts of goodness will appear. Tonight. The Cruciblooms will lay eyes upon... Gonzalez. Or summon Dune Buckethead by accident. Either are entirely possible.

Allium treats everyone with the utmost respect and kindness. That's not because she's an especially kind person, but since she has to treat everyone the same way she just sort of ends up being nice to everyone at once. She'd love to verbally abuse Bun Chi, but then she'd have to verbally abuse her beloved Fanilla. She'd never do that! She loves Fanilla too dearly for that, it'd break her heart to have to utter mean somethings about her. So there she stands, complimenting Bun Chi on their ugliness. The Bun Chi seems to understand. It grunts twice, slobbers on the floor, and screeches like a five-year-old. "I guess that's a good sign," Allium says.

As he's going home, Peashooter dumps a bunch of cement on his head? Where did Peashooter even get cement? Nobody knows. He probably had to provide great pleasure to get it.

Voodoober is blind, deaf, and mute. They interact with the world around them through different vibrations. A mailbox opening has a different frequency than, say, a barrel of fireworks going off.

Blockoli is an epic gamer. "You are worthless garbage," he screams at a sprout online. "You will achieve nothing in life and your existence is beyond meaningless." But deep inside, behind those giant floret shields, he doesn't mean any of it. He cares deeply and truly for everybody he knows. He volunteers at the squirrel rehab center every weekend. He delivers groceries for Voodoober every Tuesday and Thursday. He just wants to look cool.

Tap on Prickly Pear to arm, tap again on a tile to send a Prickly Pearrier there with a complimentary shockwave that shoves zombies back. Each Prickly Pearrier resists zombies with high health and spikes them just the same.
Prickly Pear is, as you may expect, quite prickly on the outside. Any zombie, snowman, or illegal fire hydrant can attest to that. But what you might not know so quickly is that she's also quite prickly on the inside. But she doesn't let most folks see inside. Much to both your and Wall-nut's surprise, it's considered fundamentally rude to investigate someone's insides without their inert permission. Who knew?

Ultomato deals reduced damage to bosses not because of any special restrictions or legal disputes, but because he doesn't want it to be too hard for them. "If I were able to deal full damage to bosses," he explains. "Which I totally can, by the way, it would simply be unfair. They would die immediately and sob to their wives about their awful day at work. That's not the Ultomato way. Ultomato HATE women!" He's definitely cappin'.

Blastberry Bomber waits patiently in line with his groceries for the day. It's the fifth time he's tried to purchase his items, but for some reason, they won't let him through. He pushes his cart through begrudgingly again, and the cashier looks at him with absolute contempt. "Alright you little bugger," the cashier begins. "If I catch you with that stupid piece of crap in your cart again I'm going to do horrid things to you." He sifts through Blastberry Bomber's cart, seemingly oblivious to his hidden item. Paper towels, peppers, Chomper, all normal so far… WAIT! What's that? A PIPE BOMB? Not again! NOT again! "NO! YOU WILL NOT!" The cashier screams in pain and supplements. "I'm gonna kill you! Kill you! Kill you now!" The store erupts in a sheet of flame. There is nothing cleft. Comeuppance for your sins.

STATISTICS
Last seen at Gates and Trials
Dennis uses his drill to shake the ground around him, slowing nearby zombies down and unleashing powerful, damaging tremors that are extra effective against grid items. Every few attacks, Dennis unleashes a critical hit that deals even more damage. Truly a masterpiece.
Where does Dennis get all of his bombs? "At the bomb store, of course," he answers. Well, that mystery was quickly solved. Done and dusted. What do we talk about now? Politics? The stock market? Waffle production grinding to a halt across the Bloomlands? The climate crisis? The Great Zombification? Farmer Zombie's pants being too loose? There's so many choices! It's easy to get overwhelmed. Maybe we should just go home...
Bomb Burrow Dennis burrows underground to another tile of your choice and leaves behind a giant bomb that explodes after 3s, dealing 150 non-armor piercing damage in a 3x3 area. Recharge: 7s

You might think it's a little off-brand for a plant all about ice-cold winds and freezy vibes to be hanging out on a tropical island. You'd be correct, but Hurrikale doesn't particularly mind.

He knows that there will be mass destruction. The zombies will file lawsuits and claim that Chili Bean is committing war crimes but he knows there's not enough evidence to convict him.
