Pepper-pult


 * Not to be confused with the Pepper-pult in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.

Pepper-pult is a lobbed-shot plant that is unlocked in Frostbite Caves. It lobs flaming peppers at the rate of a Cabbage-pult that can deal splash damage in a 3x3 area and is immune to Hunter Zombie's snowballs as well. It will also emit a pulse that can slowly thaw any frozen plant in a 3x3 area.

Some say Pepper-pult is a hot head. Some find his fiery disposition off-putting. But the truth is, he's just very focused and determined. He loves what he does. He appreciates everything he has. "I came from the weedy side of the lawn," Pepper-pult explains. "I worked hard to pull myself up by my roots. I'm a self-made pepper and I don't take a single thing for granted."

Plant Food upgrade
Pepper-pult when fed with Plant Food launches three bursts of flaming peppers that target any zombies on screen. When the peppers hit the ground, it explodes into four mini peppers, dealing minor damage.
