Barrel

The Barrel is a hollow wooden cylindrical container bounded by wooden or metal hopps. It is an armor piece that has different purposes in different games, including Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time, and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.

Plants vs. Zombies Adventures
In this game, the barrel is worn by Barrel Zombie; it increases this zombie health. If the barrel gets destroyed, the zombie will move faster.

Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time
The barrel is used by the Barrel Roller Zombie to crush plants. It contains two Imp Pirate Zombies, which will be released after the barrel is broken. Spikeweed and Spikerock can destroy it instantly. Like other shields, it blocks Snow Pea's slowing effect and Lobbed Shots will hit the zombie, instead of the barrel.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
The barrel is worn by the Barrel Pirate as a piece of armor.

In Plants vs. Zombies Adventures
The barrel absorbs 12 shots before breaking and does not degrade. It is instantly destroyed by one shot of the Flaming Pea.

In Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time
The barrel absorbs 52 normal damage shots and degrades upon 20, 40, and 52 when the barrel is destroyed. It can be instantly destroyed by Spikeweed or Spikerock.

 * The barrel has three x's on it, which means it contained an alcoholic beverage.

 * At the end of the Plants vs. Zombies Adventures trailer, a Barrel Zombie is shown below the title. He is soon attacked by a lone pea, which destroys the barrel. The zombie is then completely naked, with the "proper" spot pixel-blurred.
