Website Description

Don’t let his crusty appearance fool you – this peg-legged captain has a trick weapon up his sleeve, which allows for pinpoint accuracy at long range, and a devastating blast up close. Yarr!

Description

Frozen in a block of ice, Captain Deadbeard has been adrift for hundreds of years. Having just arrived on the shores of Zomburbia with his trusty Parrot Pal, he's crusty, a little musty, and ready to bring the fight to the Plants.

Primary Weapons

His primary weapons are the Scurvy Scattershot and the Spyglass Shot. The Scurvy Scattershot is used when not zoomed in, and can only hit targets at close range, it deals 40 damage exactly. This weapon is extremely similar to the Chemist's primary weapon. Each Scurvy Scattershot uses two ammo. The Spyglass Shot is used when the player zooms in and is a long-ranged weapon, it deals 20-24 damage at all ranges. Each Spyglass Shot uses one ammo.

Variants

• Captain Flameface
• Captain Sharkbite
• Captain Cannon
• Captain Partyman

Abilities

Parrot Pal

An ability similar to the Garlic Drone or Zombot Drone. When used, Captain Deadbeard creates a Parrot equipped with a telescope laser and explosives. The Parrot Pal has 20 HP and can only be used for a limited time.

Cannon Rodeo

Captain Deadbeard will summon a cannon and then sits on top of it. The Cannon will then start shooting explosive cannonballs repeatedly. The cannon has 6 ammo.

Barrel Blast

Captain Deadbeard summons a barrel and hides inside it, lighting the fuse inside, and then detonates it to damage nearby plants, knocking himself into the air. The barrel also gives Captain Deadbeard reduced damage whilst he is in it.

Trivia

• His name may be a parody of Blackbeard, an infamous pirate.
  • His name may also be a parody of Captain Dreadbeard, a pirate from World of Warcraft.
  • It may also be based of Captain Chestbeard, who has appeared in Plants vs. Zombies: Timepocalypse.
• He is the first new class to have one of his variants revealed fully in gameplay.
• Captain Deadbeard is the only new zombie class to not have any mobility boost that doesn't require ability use.
• His hat seems to have actual eye patch strapped around it, covering the skull's left eye socket.
• Originally, the Cannon Rodeo was his second ability, but later swapped places with the Parrot Pal. It is now his third ability.
  • This could be because the Parrot Pal is relative to the Garlic Drone and Zombot Drone, which is Cactus' and Engineer's second ability respectively.
• Oddly, when a new variant of Captain Deadbeard, it is marked as "Pirate" instead of "Captain Deadbeard" for the class it's a variant of.
