Red Stinger

Red Stinger is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, the first plant obtained in Lost City after beating Day 1. It was first revealed in the trailer for Lost City Part 1, and then more information was released with the Lost City Part 1 Dev Diary.

When planted in the first three columns to the left, Red Stingers will fire two projectiles at a time. If the Red Stinger is located in the next three columns, it will be more defensive, and will fire just one projectile. If it placed on three columns on the right, it will be a defensive plant and not fire any shots. Each petal does 1.5 Normal Damage Shots killing a basic zombie with 7 petals.

Red Stinger is based on the Etlingera elatior, known in English as torch ginger.

Red Stingers fire shots at full force when close to home, and become more defensive further from it.

Flexibility is of key importance to Red Stinger. "I do stretching exercises every morning," he says. "It's important to stay physically and mentally nimble."

Plant Food upgrade
When given Plant Food, Red Stinger fires a focused laser that pierces through all zombies in its lane. It also slows them drastically.
