Fairytale Forest (童话森林; pinyin: Tónghuà Sēnlín), also referred to as Fairytale World (童话世界; pinyin: Tónghuà Shìjiè), is a world released for the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is the 1st world released for the new Secret Realms game mode and the 17th world overall. Part One was released in the 2.8.4 update on April 25, 2022 on Android and iOS devices.
The primary mechanic of this world is Magic Fog. Magic Fog is similar to the Fog found in Dark Ages. Unlike Dark Ages fog however, Magic Fog cannot be cleared by Plantern, Lantern Cherry, Torchwood or Blover. New plants cannot be placed on tiles covered by Magic Fog, but preexisting plants will not be affected by Magic Fog.
Magic Fog will also grant zombies Magic Shields whose strength will vary depending on what color they are. Magic Fog will come in three different colors white, blue and purple. These different colors will determine the color of the Magic Shields they grant zombies. Magic Fog can only be removed by Magic Winds, which randomly occur at random intervals during gameplay.
Magic Shields reduce the amount of damage zombies take by certain amounts. White shields reduce damage by 25%, blue shields reduce damage by 50%, and purple shields reduce damage by 75%. Zombies with magic shields are also immune to slowing debuffs, while blue and purple shields make zombies immune to stunning, hypnotizing, lane changing, and even instant-kills. Heath Seeker is able to instantly destroy Magic Shields and even prioritizes attacking zombies with them.
