Abyss Anemone (深渊海葵; pinyin:Shēnyuān hǎi kuí) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the v3.1.4 update alongside Parkour Mandrake. This plant has multiple attacking mechanics. Abyss Anemone will grab the closest zombie within the 3 tiles ahead, and drag them into the abyss. After Abyss Anemone digests the dragged zombie, it will then be used to charge the cracking eye that is summoned by Abyss Anemone on the top left corner of the lawn. After the digestion, along with charging the cracking eye, Abyss Anemone additionally will then shoot a laser beam down the whole lane ahead. For zombies that can not be dragged into the abyss such as Gargantuar, Abyss Anemone will constantly attack them with a tentacle until they die. Abyss Anemone cannot drag zombies that are in water from Big Wave Beach and will only drag them down if they exit the water.

The cracking eye on the top left corner of the lawn serves as a tower defender. The cracking eye has 5 phases of being charged. It takes one minute to reach it's 3rd phase (which can be seen once the cracking eye is emitting eye symbols and a spinning purple aura), a which point the player is allowed to click it, and once it is clicked, it will start attacking random zombies with a laser beam on the lawn for a short period of time. To reach the 4th phase 15 zombies need to be digest and then it can be tapped to deal more damage. The 5th and final phase requires 10 more zombies to be eaten where it will do even more damage when tapped.

In a similar manner to Tile Turnip, Ultomato, and Earthstar Nuclear Silo, the sun cost will start doubling for every Abyss Anemone on the lawn, initial sun cost being 50 sun.

Origins

Abyss Anemone is based on the anemone stinkhorn (Aseroe rubra), also known as the sea anemone fungus, a common and widespread basidiomycete fungus recognizable for its foul odour of carrion and its sea anemone shape when mature.

The "Abyss" part in the name is reference to Abyss Anemone's ability to drag zombies into the deep abyss undergrounds.
