Bamboo Bro (竹小弟, lit. "Bamboo Little Brother; pinyin: Zhú Xiǎodì), also known as "Bambrook", internally referred to as "sugarcane", is a monthly special plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2.

He pushes zombies back for a short distance when he meets a zombie for the first time. Then he will block the zombies until there are no zombies in front of him. He can heal himself, so he can stand a zombie for a long time.

Origins

Bamboo Bro is based on the phyllostachys aurea, known as fishpole bamboo or golden bamboo. It is native to Fujian and Zhejiang in China.

Bamboo Bro's Chinese name is 竹小弟. The 小弟 part actually means a little brother or an inferior guy. His English name 'Bamboo Bro' is also a portmanteau of Bamboo and 'brook', meaning 'endure', also referring to its ability.

His costume is a reference to the headband of Sun Wukong, who is also known as the Monkey King.

Trivia

• His internal name is "sugarcane," even though, visually, he’s not a sugarcane.
  • This is likely a leftover from his earlier concept designs, which more visually resemble a sugarcane.
• He is the second defensive plant that pushes zombies back, with the first being Chard Guard. Because of this, he can instantly defeat Imps and Swashbuckler Zombies on plankless lanes if planted on the rightmost tile.
• If he degrades, he will lose his idle animation. Instead, he will stand still. This will last until he is fed Plant Food or destroyed.
• He is the first plant to have a special death animation (excluding level 2 and 3 Tall-nut); he will break in half when he dies.
