Bambrook (竹小弟; pinyin: zhú xiǎo di) 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

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

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

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