Fire Gourd

Fire Gourd (火葫芦) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. When tapped on, it breathes fire at a short range that deals moderate damage. It requires ten Fire Gourd Puzzle Pieces to unlock. Fire Gourd sleeps after being tapped on, similar to the Coconut Cannon and Spring Bean, except that the Spring Bean sleeps after bouncing off the first zombie.

Plant Food Upgrade
Upon using Plant Food, the Fire Gourd will breathe fire at all squares in front of it, doing 75 damage and hitting all zombies in range.

 * Fire Gourd's range decreases the earlier the player activates it.
 * Its damage is actually always the same, despite claiming that it gets more powerful.
