火龙果从小就很焦虑，因为他总想数清楚自己的果肉里有多少籽，它还很容易发怒，因为总有人怀疑他和黑芝麻有什么关系。后来他想通了，把难题全部抛出来，让僵尸们去头疼吧！ Dragonfruit grew up with anxiety, as he always wished to count how many seeds are there in his pulp. It's also easy for him to get upset, because there's always someone suspecting him to be somewhat related to sesame seeds.

Dragonfruit (火龙果, lit. "Fire Dragon Fruit"; pinyin: Huǒlóngguǒ), is a monthly special plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2, and the monthly special plant for May 2016.

He attacks by lobbing balls of fire, damaging every zombie in an area around it. He can also thaw plants in Frostbite Caves.

Origins

Dragonfruit is based on the pitaya, also known as the dragon fruit, the fruit of several cacti species that are native to the Americas.

His fiery abilities are based on how the Chinese name for red pitayas translates literally as "fire dragon fruit".

Strategies

Dragonfruit can be used in Frostbite Caves as a cheaper version of Pepper-pult who costs 50 more suns, especially at level 5, it can also be used outside of Frostbite Caves as a better version of Pyro-shroom, as he can attack with lobbed projectiles and in a 3x3 area, another thing about Dragonfruit is that he is less rare than Pyro-shroom and can be used as a good offensive fire plant.

Trivia

• He is the first Chinese-exclusive plant that can thaw plants. The second is Firebloom Queen and the third is Match Flower.
• Even though Parasol Zombie can block his projectiles, it’s impossible for Jester Zombie to deflect them.
• His projectile's splashing sound attack reuses Pepper-pult's splash sound.
  • This was fixed in version 2.0.0 with a new sound effect.

The pepper silhouettes appear when hit a zombie

• If the player looks closely at the splash when his projectile hits a zombie, the player can see the pepper silhouettes, similarly to Pepper-pult's.
• Dragonfruit is the first plant in the series to be based off of a dragon fruit, the second one being Dark Matter Dragonfruit and the third being Dragon Bruit.
  • Dragonfruit is the only plant of the three to not be designed after an actual dragon.
