Pecanolith is a galacticlegendaryplantcard in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Guardian class. He costs 5 to play and has 7. He does not have any traits, and his ability makes the amount of damage all plants and zombies do equal to their health stat. This ability persists until all Pecanoliths are removed from the field.
He is based on the pecan (Carya illinoinensis), a species of hickory native to Mexico and the Southern United States; and the monolith from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
His name is a portmanteau of "pecan," the real-life plant he is based on; and "monolith," a geological feature consisting of a single massive stone or rock.
His description references his ability and the description of the monolith and its anomalous properties upon touching in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Strategies
With
Essentially a 5-cost with 7/7, this plant can easily turn the tide of the battle very quickly. His ability affects plants and zombies alike, and can prevent some high-strength zombies like Template:PvZHLink or Template:PvZHLink from doing major damage. However, his main use is to utilize the Guardian class's high-health plants such as Template:PvZHLink, Water Chestnut, and Template:PvZHLink. These plants will be able to fight back with heavy damage, while still being able to defend themselves. Many of these cards are also cheap, meaning that you can replenish your defenses without spending too much sun. Cards that boost plants' health such as Photosynthesizer, Steel Magnolia, and Grape Responsibility also synergize nicely.
This card is very useful against the Crazy and Sneaky classes, as they consist of mainly low-health fighters, with only a few exceptions.
Take note that fighters with traits such as the Bullseye trait will still be able to use those traits during combat (with Anti-Hero being the only exception), making plants such as Template:PvZHLink much more effective.
Each Guardian hero has their way of using this plant well:
Grass Knuckles can use cards that make plants do bonus attacks such as Bananasaurus Rex, Pod Fighter, Coffee Grounds, and Template:PvZHLink if their health is high enough. Additionally, he can also use Fertilize to increase its strength to 3 (assuming his strength is not yet boosted), protecting the said plant for most instant-kills such as Rolling Stone and Rocket Science.
Wall-Knight can use Geyser, 2nd-Best Taco of All Time, and Aloesaurus to restore his plants' health, resulting in less damage loss. He also has access to Sun Strike, which can possibly spell doom for his opponent if he has several high-health plants on the field.
Template:PvZHLink and Beta-Carrotina can Freeze or Bounce any zombies that block their plants from damaging the zombie hero. Citron can also use Template:PvZHLink while there are many high-health plants on the field to wreak havoc. Eventually, they can use Dark Matter Dragonfruit to make it extremely hard for the opponent to play tricks that could potentially harm Pecanolith.
Being a nut plant, Guardian heroes can use this with either Smackadamia to boost his health or Mirror-Nut to make the zombie hero think twice before using damaging tricks on him.
Avoid using this if there are many high health zombies like Overstuffed Zombie or Wannabe Hero. This will compound your problems as they will do more damage, especially if these zombies have Frenzy.
Against
Against Pecanolith, the best method is to remove him with a trick. Hearty heroes can easily wipe the board with a single use of Weed Spray or use Rolling Stone on this to remove this for a low cost. Other heroes may need to use Deadly zombies or tricks like Locust Swarm. Because he is a nut plant, Beastly heroes can use Squirrel Herder to instantly destroy this plant, although they must look out for Template:PvZHLink or Blockbuster. Crazy and Brainy heroes, especially Professor Brainstorm, however, will have to get creative and rely on card synergies or damaging tricks in order to destroy, or at least weaken him efficiently.
Zombie decks that focus on low health zombie like Imp or dancing decks will struggle, as this card will make them all do less damage, unless their health was boosted in some way. On the bright side, Hearty heroes will be able to use health boosting tricks to retaliate against Pecanolith if Weed Spray or Rolling Stone is unavailable. They can also play high-health zombies such as Template:PvZHLink and Wannabe Hero, or Armored zombies like Knight of the Living Dead to make the plant hero think twice before using this. Overstuffed Zombie also benefits from this as he will have more attack and when the zombie destroys a plant, he will gain more strength.
A good tip for Hearty heroes is to keep your health topped up with cards such as Medic, as then if your opponent plays this card, you can play Wannabe Hero to a greater effect. As Rustbolt or Z-Mech, you can use Rock Wall to boost a zombie's health while increasing its damage output by a lot.
A bone can be seen in the pile of dirt around his base, referencing the scene at the beginning of "A Space Odyssey" in which a monkey begins using bones as a weapon due to the presence of the monolith.
