Origins
It is based on the potato (Solanum tuberosum), the starchy, tuberous root portion crop of a perennial nightshade, and the apatosaurus, a genus of sauropod dinosaurs that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic period.

Its name is a portmanteau of "potato," the plant it is based on, and "apatosaurus," the dinosaur it is based on.

With
Apotatosaurus is an extremely powerful plant. It has average stats for its cost (including the boost from its "When played" ability), but the fact still stands that these stats are very high. But Apotatosaurus' value comes from its Untrickable trait, meaning that it cannot be stopped by tricks such as Rocket Science or Exploding Fruitcake, and must be dealt with directly. The root Conjured can also be something threatening, such as Starch-Lord, Veloci-Radish Hunter, Tricarrotops, or even another Apotatosaurus.

Apotatosaurus is a good addition to Grass Knuckles' root deck with Starch-Lord, who not only gives it an additional +1/+1 at the start of every turn, but also when it is played. He can also boost its health and play Team-Up plants in front of it to survive longer. Green Shadow can Bounce or Freeze zombies in its way, and play it in either Planet of the Grapes to give it +1/+1 every time it hurts her opponent, or on to not only boost Apotatosaurus, but also make it a dangerous Amphibious attacker that is hard to stop without the right cards. Chompzilla can heal it with her arsenal of healing cards, or instantly destroy zombies clogging its lane. She can also use Sun Strike to inflict huge damage on her opponent that turn. Captain Combustible can boost its strength or destroy zombies blocking its path with tricks such as Berry Blast, but otherwise, he doesn't have the best synergy with this.

However, Apotatosaurus is weak against several combos. Deadly zombies by themselves are one, especially when your opponent makes them do bonus attacks. combined with any zombie or environment with a damaging ability is another. (Any hero is able to use this combo due to Trapper Zombie's existence.) But the most threatening zombie is Primordial Cheese Shover, as he can be played to instantly destroy Apotatosaurus, and you can't do anything about its ability either.

Against
Do not leave this plant unattended for long, lest it wreaks havoc upon you and your zombies. A 6/6 with Untrickable that boosts itself every turn is definitely not something to be trifled with. Sneaky zombies can destroy this in one blow using Deadly zombies, while Brainy cards such as Copter Commando or Trickster can also deal with this instantly, provided the Apotatosaurus is not boosted. Remember, it has Untrickable, so you can't damage it with cards such as Cakesplosion or Rocket Science. In case of emergency, Bouncing this with Pogo Bouncer can also work.

Trivia

 * Its flavor text loosely references.
 * This could also reference how Apotatosaurus originally specifically Conjured a Sweet Potato instead of just any plant in the root tribe.
 * During development, it originally had 4/4 and its Dino-Roar ability gave it +2/+2 instead.
