"Grunt," explains Primal Wall-nut. "Grunt oog grunt-grunt," he goes on to say. "Ook-urg grunty grunt grunt," he concludes. A nut of many opinions, is Primal Wall-nut.

Primal Wall-nut is the second plant obtained in Jurassic Marsh in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is the primal version of Wall-nut. He costs 25 sun more than the modern Wall-nut, but has the same toughness and recharges much faster. He also has the ability to withstand instant kills from zombies such as Gargantuar Smashes, Zombot Missiles, and their lasers. The mentioned instant kills will only deal 1500 damage to him, except for smashes from Gladiator Gargantuar, which deals 1875 damage to him instead.

Origins

A real-life Juglans regia in which Primal Wall-nut is based on

Strategies

In most situations, Primal Wall-nut can be considered a straight upgrade to Wall-nut. While he costs 25 sun more than the latter plant, the increased sun cost is usually worth the greatly improved recharge rate, which will allow the player to secure lanes much more easily early on, as well as repair defenses as the level progresses. Primal Wall-nut is particularly useful in halting the advance of Gargantuar in normal levels, due to his resistance to his smash attacks, even though it might be worth placing two or three Primal Wall-nuts in a row due to the Gargantuar's high health. Primal Wall-nut can also indefinitely stall a single Gargantuar, due to his recharge speed being faster than how fast a Gargantuar could destroy him.

Primal Wall-nut functions well in choke points naturally occurring in Frostbite Caves, or generated by Sweet Potato and/or Garlic, as his relatively fast recharge rate allows him to be replaced more easily to handle pressure from multiple lanes. In Neon Mixtape Tour, Primal Wall-nut is a good choice for stalling MC Zom-B as he takes three swings to destroy. The recharge rate also makes Primal Wall-nut a decent choice for blocking Hair Metal Gargantuars' shockwaves, although it should be kept in mind that Primal Wall-nut is not completely invulnerable to the sound blast, and will eventually be overwhelmed at higher levels in Greatest Hits, where the waves can be spammed. Primal Wall-nut is especially useful in his homeworld for stalling zombies and preventing them from being flung by a stegosaurus. Consider using him against the Jurassic Rockpuncher, as he takes multiple smashes to destroy and will not leave a crater. In Modern Day, Primal Wall-nut is useful against All-Star Zombies as the charge attack is also an instant kill that he can resist.

However, be aware that in Last Stand levels without Gargantuars, it is generally more worthwhile to bring his modern variant in order to save sun.

Trivia

  • The ability is absent in the Chinese version.
• His description depicted the way that cavemen spoke in cultural media.
• His Plant Food armor resembles a gravestone.
• His overalls costume is called "Bubba-Earl's Overalls" which maybe a reference to Bubba Earl: Zombie Hunter.
