Dino-Roar Grass (龙吼草; pinyin: Lóng Hǒu Cǎo) is a plant from the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He was added in the 2.0 update. He is obtainable through collecting enough Puzzle Pieces from the Endless Zone medals.

Dino-Roar Grass eats zombies and eggs, using goo to defend himself while attempting to swallow zombies and removing eggs from play after several seconds.

Origins

Dino-Roar Grass is based on the bellyful pitcher plant (Nepenthes ventrata), a tropical pitcher plant natural hybrid of the ventricose pitcher plant (Nepenthes ventricosa) and the winged pitcher plant (Nepenthes alata), the plant's specific name "ventrata" (meaning "bellyful") most likely reflects Dino-Roar Grass's ability to eat zombies. He is also based on a generic theropod dinosaur like Tyrannosaurus.

His ability to fire goo is a nod to the digestive liquid real-life pitcher plants use to digest their prey.

Strategies

He can be considered a cheaper Chomper with slower recharge, which is also not completely vulnerable. He can also tank attacks to some extent and swallow his eggs.

He is however, extremely important in Jurassic Marsh due to his Plant Food being the only way to prevent dinosaur stampedes from T. Rex eggs destroying a lot of plants.

One of his most important abilities is to eat eggs before they can cause further trouble. Even at level 1, a single Dino-Roar Grass will instantly destroy an egg. If you do not have enough Puzzle Pieces to upgrade him into level 2 or above, it is not recommended to use him in Hard Mode outside Jurassic Marsh, because he cannot eat a level 2 or above zombies instantly, unlike Toadstool.
