Snap Pea is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, that was first introduced in the 7.1.3 update. It instantly kills a zombie in front of it when planted, then chews for twenty seconds before it spits out the zombie's head, dealing 400 damage to any zombie. If it can't eat a zombie, it will shoot three peas at the zombie. It will then rest for ten seconds before shooting peas again.
Snap Pea requires 250 seed packets to be unlocked. It cannot attack Dr. Zomboss. The following zombies cannot be eaten but can be damaged: Gargantuar variants, Treasure Yeti, Shield Zombie, Mecha-Football Zombie, Robo-Cone Zombie, Disco-tron 3000, Zombie King, Cardio Zombie, Roman Caesar Zombie, Z-Mech, #caketank, Zombie Hamsterball, Zombie Bull, Barrel Roller Zombie's barrel, Zombie Chicken, Ice Weasel, Pianist Zombie, Zombie Medusa's statue, Catapult Zombie, and Zomboni.
Origins[]
Its appearance resembles a mix between a Peashooter and a Chomper, with the Chomper head being based on a pea pod.
Its name is based on the snap pea, a cultivar group of edible potted peas and is a reference to how it "snaps" (eats) up zombies with its huge mouth after burrowing.

Snap Pea |
Snap Peas dive underground, burrow towards zombies, then pop up underneath to swallow them in one gulp. Snap Peas then return to their starting spot, chew on the entire matter for a while, and finally spit the zombies' heads out at attackers. "I'm a picky eater, I'll admit it," admits Snap Pea casually. "I'll eat a zombie, no problem, but there's just something about heads. I feel like they're looking at me." |
Upgrades[]
Plant Food effect[]
When fed Plant Food, Snap Pea will burrow underground and snap up five random zombies, and then return to shoot all five heads in its lane, with each head dealing incredibly high damage. If it targets machines or Gargantuars, it will shoot six peas at them instead. If it was already chewing on a zombie, it will shoot one extra head.
Enforce-mint effect[]
When boosted by Enforce-mint, Snap Pea will have an additional 75 damage added onto the peas it shoots at zombies it can't bite, its chew time will be reduced to ten seconds per zombie, and 1500 damage will be added to its zombie head attack.

Strategies[]
Although Snap Pea is undoubtedly better than Chomper due to the extra projectile, Snap Pea nevertheless can still be rather awkward to use. For one, having its eating range be the entirety of the lane is both a blessing and a curse. Although it does give Snap Pea the ability to assassinate zombies from much further away, stopping them before they get a chance to become a threat, the fact that Snap Pea can eat any non-flying zombie in the lane regardless of range means that Snap Pea has the ability to target zombies as soon as they step on the lawn, meaning that the next zombies will come right away, giving any other Snap Peas on the lawn less time to digest their zombies. Additionally, Snap Pea is perhaps the worst "eating plant" when it comes to take down Gargantuars, as compared to the damage of Chomper and Toadstool, Snap Pea's damage is pathetic; shooting only three peas that do 90 damage total, way less than the other two. Because of this, Snap Pea is best used a little bit later in the level compared to the other two plants.
As Snap Pea is an underground plant, Snap Pea is unable to make use of its increased range in Big Wave Beach or Pirate Seas, due to the water/planks respectively. This can be a blessing or a curse depending on the situation. It removes Snap Pea's ability to assassinate from range, giving it range similar to that of a Chomper if placed close to the zombies, which can be beneficial if you intend to stall out the level for an extended period. Additionally, Snap Pea is unable to eat Gargantuars or any mechs in Far Future, so avoid picking Snap Pea in those situations, as Snap Pea is highly ineffective if it is unable to eat something.
Like Chomper and Toadstool, Snap Pea can be used to instantly eliminate zombies that are immune to certain plants, such as Excavator Zombie (immune to straight shots), Parasol Zombie (immune to lobbed shots), and Imp Dragon Zombie (immune to fire damage). Snap Pea is also rather effective against Jester Zombies, as none of Snap Pea's projectiles can be deflected by them.
Due to a lack of area-of-effect damage, Snap Pea must be supported by plants such as Melon-pult. Thanks to Snap Pea's range, it's actually somewhat viable to place it further back in your defense than say a Toadstool or Chomper, making plants such as Snapdragon or Pokra good supportive options for it as well. Blastberry Vine helps by adding both extra protection as well as additional damage, which can help weed out weaker zombies that might be a waste for Snap Pea to eat. Avoid picking Snap Pea in Endless Zones, as Snap Pea is not only highly ineffective versus Gargantuars, but also against hordes of zombies in general.
Snap Pea is highly effective against Zombie Medusa as not only could he eat the zombie entirely, the Medusa Head will also petrify other zombies upon hit.
Snap Pea can be useful for stopping the momentum of Zombie Bulls.

Trivia[]
- When targeting a zombie, that zombie will preform its idle animation.
- If it eats a shrunken zombie, the head will appear to be shrunk when shot out.
- It can eat a zombie that is trapped in a frozen block.
- It can't eat airborne zombies.
- If there are no targets, Snap Pea continues chewing until one appears, similar to a Plant Food-fed Bowling Bulb and a fully charged Citron.
- When it's targeting a zombie to eat, both the plant and the zombie become immune to damage and untargetable (the plant projectiles will pass through the zombie, and the zombies will ignore the plant while it's underground).
- Missiles from the Z-Mech will not kill the plant nor burn the tile if it hits it while it's burrowing.
- Not even Gargantuars will be able to crush it while it's underground.
- It can't be given Plant Food while it is targeting a zombie.
- If it is targeting a zombie and the dinosaurs kick them forward, there will be an animation that it misses the zombie and eats the dinosaur. However, somehow that zombie still gets eaten.
- This also happens when the player times correctly and use Garlic, Sweet Potato or Hot Date to make the zombie changes the lane.
- If Snap Pea eats Dodo Rider Zombie, it will throw the head of the Imp, not the dodo's head.
- Even if the player lets Snap Pea eat a shrunken Dodo Rider Zombie, it will still throw the Imp head although the Imp has disappeared. However, the Imp head will appear to be very tiny, much smaller than usual.
- This is also the only way to see a shrunken Imp head.
- Even if the player lets Snap Pea eat a shrunken Dodo Rider Zombie, it will still throw the Imp head although the Imp has disappeared. However, the Imp head will appear to be very tiny, much smaller than usual.
- If Snap Pea eats Prospector Zombie right when his dynamite is about to explode, the Prospector Zombie will not appear on the left side. Instead, he will just stand idle and don't get eaten. Also, projectiles will ignore him, making him immune to damage.
- If Snap Pea eats Zombie Medusa, the head it spits out will petrify the zombie hit by it.
- Similar to Chomper, Snap Pea sometimes mimics dog-like behavior where, it will shorten the stem and shaking it.
- Due to many seasonal Imp variants sharing traits with Bug Bot Imp, Snap Pea is unable to eat them as well.
- In the Chinese version, Snap Pea cannot eat Solar Car Zombie.
