Parrot Drones deal moderate damage, but they have very little health. To survive, keep moving and stay a safe distance away from opponents.

Parrot Pal is an ability for Captain Deadbeard in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. It is similar to the Garlic Drone and Zombot Drone. It has 5 health, and is armed with the Parrot Pulse as its primary weapon. It can also deploy an airstrike named Eggsplosion, which deploys all explosives at once rather than one after another like the Cone Strike.

Balancing changes

January 2016 patch

• ▼ Parrot Pal's cooldown no longer resets upon death. Instead, it continues recharging from where it was.

August 2016 patch

• ▼ Parrot Pal's health was decreased from 20 to 5 so that it could be more similar to the Cactus' Garlic Drone.

Strategies

See Zombot Drone, as both are similar.

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, a Parrot Pal is shot down by 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.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2

• 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.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville

• 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".
