梦想成为芭蕾舞演员的旋涡枇杷有一项绝活：她可以在原地旋转很多圈。“我觉得我一定能成为这个世界上最伟大的芭蕾舞演员，但是没有人愿意聘请我，我不理解为什么会这样。”旋涡枇杷沮丧地说，顺便吞下了一大口冰激凌。 Loquat who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer has one trick: She can rotate many rounds in place. "I think I will be able to become the world's greatest ballet dancer, but no one wants to hire me, I don’t understand why." Loquat says in frustration, as she swallows a large mouthful of ice-cream.

Loquat (旋涡枇杷, lit. "Vortex Loquat"; pinyin: Xuánwō Pípá) is the first plant obtained in Sky City in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. She draws in zombies from a 3x3 area around her tile, behaving similarly to a Sweet Potato. Upon being pulled in, the zombies can smack into each other, taking damage and stunning them (note that this only applies in in her home world as she deals no damage to zombies outside of Sky City). After a while, the zombies will return to their original tiles.

Origins

Loquat is based on the loquat (Eriobotrya japonica), a fruit from the Rosaceac family, which is native to China.

Strategies

She can be used as weaker, aerial Cherry Bomb without her costume. She is a cheap way to dispose of threats such as Double-Cabin Aircraft Zombie. For some reason, outside of Sky City, she doesn't deal damage to zombies, which lowers her effectiveness.

One effective strategy is to use Loquat on a group of zombies, then use the Squash to squash all zombies on that tile. This works with Lava Guava as well, as he can burn all zombies there.

Loquats are also able to block the bullet attack of the Zombot Vulture Fighter, which can wipe the lawn clean if not blocked effectively. Additionally Loquats are the only way to prevent the Vulture Fighter's tornados from hitting your ship and destroying your plants.

Trivia

• She reuses Rotobaga's rotor texture.
  • She also reuses Hammer Zombie's sound effects when spinning.
• Even though she faces the left of the screen, she faces the right in her Puzzle Piece.
• For some reason, she is not considered as a "Flying plant" in her Plant features in the Almanac.
• The only way for a Loquat to die is if she’s hit by Onmyoji Zombie's tornados or if she’s flung off of the lawn by the shield from the Electromagnetic Shield Generator.
  • If a Loquat is defeated by these zombies while she’s pulling a different zombie, said zombie will be stunned forever.
• Ironically enough, while she affects and damages flying zombies in Sky City, flying zombies outside of the said world are completely immune from being pulled by Loquat. It’s unknown if this is intentional or unintentional.
