Bzzzzz...

The official name of this plant is Thorns. However, a literal translation can be found in its infobox. The official name is to be used on all pages that refer to this plant.

Thorns (胆小荆棘; pinyin: dǎn xiǎo jīngjí) is a plant from the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. She was added in the 2.0 update. She can absorb about 1500 damage per shot and can protect nearby plants from being stomped by a brontosaurus. However, she can only protect the plants from the brontosaurus once and will be taken away afterwards.

Origins

Thorns is based on "thorns", the parts of the plants that are very sharp.

胆小荆棘 Thorns	AREA 3x3 RECHARGE Mediocre
	胆小荆棘能够抵挡雷龙的踩踏。 特点: 抵挡雷龙踩踏 植物特征: 褐色植物 胆小荆棘一生只做一件事，就是跟雷龙踩踏过不去。

Strategies

She should be planted in a manner similar to how Umbrella Leaf is placed in the first game. The brontosaurus can ruin defenses in Jurassic Marsh, so bringing this along in every level with them is essential. Since she is free to use, has a slightly high health and is available in all worlds, she can also be used as a free zombie staller (except in Sky City since she cannot fly, and zombies that instantly destroy plants).
