Add a photo to this gallery Trivia General It bears a resemblance of the Pirate Captain Zombie 's Zombie Parrot in Plants vs. Zombies 2 However, the parrot in this game seems to be mostly, if not all, machine.
When this ability is used, Captain Deadbeard will be seen holding a map until the Parrot Pal is destroyed, similarly to how the Engineer used a remote control for his Zombot Drone until it is destroyed.
In the animated trailer of Plants vs. Zombies Heroes Citron , despite it not making an official appearance in that game.
In Captain Deadbeard's concept art, however, Parrot Pal was shown perched on his hat.
This image is also on his card and several promotional images. The Parrot Pal acts as the replacement for the Engineer's Zombot Drone in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 as a drone for the zombies' side. Both its descriptions are very similar to the Garlic Drone 's descriptions.
Both descriptions also erroneously refer to the Parrot Pal as the "Parrot Drone".
