Kiwibeast
“ | ” | |
Kiwibeast is a gemium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, released with the 5.1 update. It is the first premium plant released not based on any world or event. It creates shockwaves by bouncing every two seconds, hurting every zombie around it, similarly to Phat Beet. Once its health becomes lower, it grows larger, increasing its damage, as well as its shockwave radius. When it grows from one stage to another, it will send zombies back one tile away if they are eating it.
Starting on the 28th of August 2023, Kiwibeast is able to be purchased for 100 gems in the store.
Origins
Kiwibeast is based on the fruit called the kiwifruit. Its appearance is simply a nod to the second part of its name, "beast." Its name is a portmanteau of "kiwifruit" and "beast".

Strategies
Kiwibeast can be considered a better version of Phat Beet, Endurian or Pea-nut, as it is defensive, and deals a wider area of effect damage. Avoid relying on Kiwibeast as the only offensive plant without Aloe or Pumpkin, since it can easily be eaten by other zombies, even though its maximum stage can deal massive damage. Kiwibeasts are best used when paired with Aloe so that Kiwibeasts can be healed after damage from some zombies. They have a great advantage against groups of Zombie Chickens and Ice Weasels, killing them in one hit.
It is a very bad idea to use this against Explorer Zombies when their torch is lit, since their torch can easily burn it without eating it. This also goes for zombies such as Barrel Roller Zombie and Pianist Zombie. Mecha-Football Zombie and Punk Zombie can move this plant without getting damaged, so it is not a good idea to use this plant when they're around. Its greatest weakness are zombies that can render it useless, such as Wizard Zombie and Octo Zombie (it will retain its stage when freed).
Combining this plant with Sweet Potato or Garlic can be a great combination, that way the zombies will be attracted to the Sweet Potatoes and can walk alongside Kiwibeasts dealing damage, which remain safe from being eaten. However, in order to fully maximize the usage of this strategy, the Kiwibeast must grow to full size first, which may take some time to set up. Planting Spikeweeds and Spikerocks for more damage near a combination of Kiwibeast and Sweet Potato is also helpful. This is also useful when it is in its maximum stage and with an Aloe to heal it.
In Endless Zones, Kiwibeasts should be planted very early on in the level, so that they have time to get eaten by zombies. They can do incredible amounts of damage to hordes in their strongest phase, which can make them a prime pickup. Just be careful of zombies that can ignore them, such as Explorer Zombies or Bug Zombies and it's variants. Kiwibeasts also work well with Tile Turnips, since their Plant Food effect is very powerful, and can wipe out even the strongest of zombies at close range.
Combining this plant in its maximum stage with Pumpkin is also an excellent idea, as this way you can keep the plant alive longer until the zombies eat the whole Pumpkin. If it's boosted, so much better.

Trivia
- Regardless of what stage it was in when defeated, Intensive Carrot will always revive the Kiwibeast to its on-planting stage. The same applies to Potato Mine, Pea Pod, Sun-shroom, Strawburst, Primal Potato Mine, Escape Root and Dazey Chain.
- In the video Neon Mixtape Tour, Side B Dev Dairy, Kiwibeast (unreleased at the time) and some unused plants (sunpod, sungun and sprout) were left in.[1]
- Its second costume is very similar to Bombegranate's second costume with only a difference in color.
- The code of Kiwibeast existed in the 5.0.1 update along with Aloe
