荆棘巫师能运用自己独特的魔法力量，操控荆棘去缠绕僵尸，锋利又带有剧毒的荆棘能使僵尸寸步难行。但没人知道，他只是比弟弟胆小荆棘更加胆小，不想直面僵尸才迫不得已学会的法术，想借此让僵尸远离自己。 Thorn Wizard can use his unique magical power to control thorns to entangle zombies. The sharp and poisonous thorns can make it difficult for zombies to move. But no one knows that he is just more timid than his younger brother, Timid Thorn. He doesn't want to face the zombies and has to learn the spell to keep the zombies away from him.

Thorn Wizard (荆棘巫师; pinyin: Jīng​jí Wū​shī) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 3.3.6 update alongside Electric Peel.

Thorn Wizard is a manually-controlled plant that casts a spell upon being tapped on, creating thorns around the zombie it hits. After each use, the plant will rest for 10 seconds. If the closest zombie is a flying zombie or is already entangled, Thorn Wizard will cast a lunging attack.

The thorns themselves are plants that continuously cause damage to all zombies it comes into contact with, alongside both weakening the damage of and poisoning the zombie it has entangled.

Trivia

• Talkweb's fan kit that includes HD renders of most plants doesn't have an HD render of costumed Thorn Wizard. Instead, where one would usually be, there is simply a duplicate of his default HD render.
  • The same also applies to Heliconia Gunner.
