- For other uses, see Spikerock (disambiguation).
Spikerock is a recurring plant character within the Plants vs. Zombies franchise. Like Spikeweed, he is an area-of-effect plant that attacks zombies on the ground, being ignored by most zombies. Along with this, Spikerock is able to destroy specfic zombies at the cost of themselves.
As of Plants vs. Zombies 3, Spikerock has appeared in four games.
Origins[]
Spikerock may be based on pebble plants (also called living stones), succulent plants from the genus Lithops in the ice plant family Aizoaceae that look like actual stones. The spike in his name refers to the fact that he is spiky, and the rock in his name refers to the fact that he has 3 large spikes made of a rock.
History[]
Plants vs. Zombies[]
- Main article: Spikerock (PvZ)
In the original Plants vs. Zombies game, as well as Chinese spin-off games based on it, Spikerock is an upgrade plant obtainable after beating Level 5-1, costing $7500 to buy.
He costs 125 sun and serves as an upgrade to Spikeweed and has the same purpose as Spikeweed, but deals damage faster and can withstand 8 wheel pops or Gargantuar smashes before being destroyed.
Plants vs. Zombies 2[]
- Main article: Spikerock (PvZ2)
Spikerock returns in Plants vs. Zombies 2, this time as his own plant, being unlocked after beating Pirate Seas Day 18. Due to no longer being an upgrade plant, Spikerock got some considerable nerfs, costing 250 sun (25 more than his overall cost in Plants vs. Zombies) and only being able to withstand two crushes before being destroyed on the third.
He is a member of the Spear-mint family, dealing 100 more damage when powered by one, along with being summoned during her effect and his Plant Food ability, like Spikeweed, drags all the zombies in his lane to his tile, dealing damage to them along the way.
Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars (China only) (Archived content)[]
- Main article: Spike line
Spikerock's third appearance was in the Chinese-exclusive turn-based game Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars as the second plant in the Spike line, evolving from Spikeweed and evolving into Diamond Spikeweed. He attacked by digging underground and reappearing under zombies, attacking their feet and specialized in lowering enemy defenses.
His active ability was Defensive Counterattack, which increased his own defense and let him counterattack enemies for 3 turns, dealing more if is a sled or catapult, though this didn't activate on AOE attacks while his passive ability was Caltrop, which let his normal attacks lower the defense of attacked enemies by 150 and damage their armor for two turns.
His soulmates included the Tail line for a defense boost, the Cactus line for a better chance to avoid attacks, and the Charm line and Magnet line together for a defense boost.
Plants vs. Zombies 3[]
- Main article: Spikeweed (PvZ3)
Spikerock's latest appearance was in Plants vs. Zombies 3, where he appears as the Tacobility to Spikeweed. He retains his properties from Plants vs. Zombies 2, where he deals more damage, and gains additional armor.
