Pepper-mint can be purchased from the Store with 100 mints while he is available.

Origins
Pepper-mint shares his name with a real-life plant; however, the word "pepper" (specifically, the chili pepper, a vegetable commonly depicted as hot/fiery) is emphasized, hence his appearance and ability.

Strategies
Pepper-mint's family contains a fairly high number of plants, so it's versatile. In addition, most of the plants in Pepper-mint's family deal high amounts of damage, so using Pepper-mint is ideal, as some of the plants deal monstrous amounts of damage when paired with him. For example, a boosted Lava Guava deals a massive 1200 damage per shot on eruption and 600 damage per shot on the lava tile, while other plants like Fire Peashooter and Pepper-pult deal extremely high amounts of damage. It is a poor choice to use Pepper-mint against Imp Dragons, as the fire plants won't do any damage to the Imp Dragons, rendering them useless. It should also be noted that the Pepper-mint family lacks very much splash damage output, as Snapdragon has a limited range and Pepper-pult has a realativly slow recharge.

Outside of this, Pepper-mint may seem like full-board Jalapeno, it will only do a total of 800 DPS in total at level 1, making the instant effect act more as a softener rather than an instant-kill, unlike Bombard-mint. It should also be kept in mind that Pepper-mint's boost will not activate until several seconds after it is plants.

Trivia

 * Despite not being a fire plant, Ghost Pepper is in the Pepper-mint Family. This may be simply because she is a pepper.
 * His fire trails are similar to Jalapeno's fire trail.
