“我打东西的动力？无法抑制！”蛮族大黄兴奋地说道。“那边的那棵树？打它！那个邮箱？碎裂！你的咖啡俱乐部集点卡？让我去打那个东西！。“ "My motivation to hit things? I can't suppress it!" Rhubarbarian said excitedly. "That tree over there? Hit it! That mailbox? Shattered! Your coffee club points card? Let me hit that thing!."

Rhubarbarian (蛮族大黄; pinyin: Mánzú Dàhuáng) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the v3.5.4 update alongside Aqua Vine and Lunisolar Honeysuckle. When planted, Rhubarbarian falls from the sky and causes an earthquake, damaging and stunning zombies in a 3x3 area. Then it attacks nearby zombies, dealing heavy damage, stunning the zombies and even punching them off the lawn entirely. When Rhubarbarian runs out of things to attack, it somersaults forward to attack further targets, with a detection range of 4.5 tiles.

Rhubarbarian has been heavily reworked from its appearance in the International version. Rhubarbarian functions similar expect now is more akin to a actual melee plant no longer disappearing, it will return to its spot after it does a jump and now can actually be killed.

Origins

Rhubarbarian is based on the rhubarb (Rhenum hybridum), a plant with fleshy edible stalks in the knotweed family Polygonaceae. It is a pun between "rhubarb" and "barbarian" used to denote a person in ancient times a member of a community or tribe not belonging to one of the great civilizations or an uncultured or brutish person.
