Twilight Chomper is a Special variant of Chomper in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. He was first revealed in the patch notes for the Soil Survivors DLC. There are currently three known ways to unlock the Twilight Chomper when he was released. If the player already has unlocked the Unicorn Chomper, they will receive the Twilight Chomper as a gift if they log in by February 28, 2019. They can also unlock him by paying real money to get the "Midnight Snack Upgrade," which became available for purchase on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One starting February 21, 2019. The third and final way of obtaining this character was by reaching 400 player vanquishes (and the community reaching 6 million vanquishes) in the Community Challenge lasting February 14-20, 2019.
He has been described as "the dark-magic prince of plants" and "an enigmatic counterpart to the infamous Unicorn Chomper" by the game's official website. His gimmick is called the Twilight Warp, which is similar to the Unicorn Chomper's Rainbow Warp (an alternate ability for Burrow), but with only one charge, though it travels about the same distance as two Rainbow Warps. He also has less health, stronger chomps, and can chomp less often than other biting chompers.
"From parts unknown, Twilight Chomper darts in and out of the shadows, waiting for his moment to strike. Some say he has an eternal hunger for Zombies, other say he's just shy."
In-game description
Twilight Chomper's warp puts him straight into the fight!
If you're sick of being harassed by Zombies on rooftops, the Chomp Cannon is for you. Hock a loogie in their direction with this disgustingly explosive attack!
The Chomper's ultimate weapon. He has the ability to tunnel underground and ambush unsuspecting Zombies by emerging under their feet and swallowing them whole!
"Instantly join the fray with this shadowy, long distance warp!"
The Twilight Chomper dashes forwards quickly, similar to the Scientist's Warp. It is exclusive to the Twilight Chomper and replaces the Burrow ability. Unlike the Rainbow Warp, you can't stock it, but the warp's distance is longer.
When a zombie stumbles into a Vampweed, you get a helpful health boost! The zombie isn't hurt, but he probably feels a bit silly falling into your trap.

Strategies
Twilight Warp can be really helpful for attacking zombies from far distances. It is recommended to Goop a zombie before warping to them to finish them off. Twilight Warp should also be used to get to places where other plants can't in order to take out campers such as Camo Rangers. Like the other Chompers, it is important to be stealthy with this variant.
Pros/Cons
Pros
More damage with each hit (35 damage without upgrades)
Even though his character piece is Legendary, the character himself is Special.
In Private Play, he appears in the Chomper Brigade as "Sparkles" or "Twinkles," making him the only Special plant variant to appear in Private Play.
He, Torchwood and Hover-Goat 3000 are the only characters that have one character piece, as Super Rares and Rares have 5 pieces, while other Specials and Legendaries have 2.
His Stickerbook description has a grammar error. "Other say he's just shy" should instead say "Others say he's just shy."
He is the only character to be released on a holiday, specifically Valentine's Day.
He has the exact same model as the Unicorn Chomper, but has a darker color palette.
