Chomper is an Epic Scrapper plant introduced in Plants vs. Zombies 3. She attacks by eating zombies whole when they get near her.

About

For more information about this character, see Chomper.

Chomper is a Scrapper plant obtained after beating Floor 26 of Devour Tower. Her seed packets are more likely to be dropped in Mulchburger Fast Food breakout levels.

She costs 5 sun and functions identically as she has in previous games, she eats the first zombie that approaches her whole, instantly defeating them. If a zombie is too large for her to eat (say a Gargantuar or a Brainiac Boss), she just bites at them instead.

When she eats a zombie, she then has to chew for a long time, leaving her vulnerable to zombie attacks.

Origins

Chomper is based on the plant of the same name and appearance from various games in the Plants vs. Zombies franchise, although her thorny stalk and muted colors are more reminiscent of her Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare appearance.

Her Tacobility is a reference to her Burrow ability from the various Shooter games she appears in.

Upgrades

Plant Food effect

Chomper's Plant Food ability is named Gluttonous Gulp, in which Chomper attracts all zombies in her lane and eats three of them, dealing heavy damage to any zombie not eaten instead. After Chomper finishes eating her three zombies, she releases a powerful burp which pushes all zombies in her lane back.

Tacobility

Chomper's Tacobility is named Ambush, which allows her to burrow underground when she's chewing, no longer leaving her vulnerable to attacks. When she is finished chewing, she can then eat any zombies walking above her when she's underground, and chews them slightly faster.

Strategies

A Chomper can eat a Zombie in an instant, however it takes a while for her to swallow the Zombie. It is recommended that a Wall-Nut or another Wall plant is placed in front of her so she can finish chewing.
