The official name of this plant is Aggro Brocco. However, a literal translation can be found in its infobox. The official name is to be used on all pages that refer to this plant.

For the version in Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West, see Aggro Brocco (PvZ: JttW).

Aggro Brocco (大力花菜; pinyin: dàlì huācài) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He picks up zombies using a suplex and throws them onto the ground, dealing 200 damage per shot. He can do this twice in a row before having to rest for 15 seconds. He can also work as a defensive plant.

Origins

Aggro Brocco is is based on broccoli, an edible green plant in the cabbage family (family Brassicaceae, genus Brassica) whose large flowering head and stalk is eaten as a vegetable.

His Chinese name, "大力花菜", translates to "Vigorous Cauliflower", despite his appearance being based on a Broccoli. This is because "cauliflower" and "broccoli" share a word in Chinese.

His name is a combination of the words "aggro" (a short form of the word "aggressive" or "angry"), referring to his ability and "brocco", the real-life plant his Plants vs. Zombies 2 appearance is based on (in which the word "li" was intentionally removed for rhyming purpose).

Trivia

• With Plant Food, he can even grab a Zombie Parrot (as he is normally unable to), and toss it like his costumed Plant Food projectile (if costumed).
• He and Ampthurium are the only two Chinese exclusive plants that have multiple costumes.
  • In Aggro Brocco's case, he wears a superhero mask on Android and a Santa hat on iOS.
