Twilight Chomper is a Special variant of Chomper in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. He was first revealed in the patch notes for the Soil Survivors DLC. There are currently three known ways to unlock the Twilight Chomper when he was released. If the player already has unlocked the Unicorn Chomper, they will receive the Twilight Chomper as a gift if they log in by February 28, 2019. They can also unlock him by paying real money to get the "Midnight Snack Upgrade," which became available for purchase on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One starting February 21, 2019. The third and final way of obtaining this character was by reaching 400 player vanquishes (and the community reaching 6 million vanquishes) in the Community Challenge lasting February 14-20, 2019.
He has been described as "the dark-magic prince of plants" and "an enigmatic counterpart to the infamous Unicorn Chomper" by the game's official website. His gimmick is called the Twilight Warp, which is similar to the Unicorn Chomper's Rainbow Warp (an alternate ability for Burrow), but with only one charge, though it travels about the same distance as two Rainbow Warps. He also has less health, stronger chomps, and can chomp less often than other biting chompers.

Abilities[]
Left abilities | |
---|---|
Goop |
Hitting targets with the Chomper's ranged Goop attack is a great way to slow them down, making them easier to chomp. They taste better too! |
Super Sticky Goop |
This goop is sooo sticky that Zombies are not even able to move when they get hit by it. Let's say it together... "Now that's Sticky!" |
Chomp Cannon |
If you're sick of being harassed by Zombies on rooftops, the Chomp Cannon is for you. Hock a loogie in their direction with this disgustingly explosive attack! |
Center abilities | |
Burrow |
The Chomper's ultimate weapon. He has the ability to tunnel underground and ambush unsuspecting Zombies by emerging under their feet and swallowing them whole! |
Sprint Burrow |
The Sprint Burrow allows the Chomper to move much faster when under the ground, but the range is quite limited. |
Twilight Warp |
"Instantly join the fray with this shadowy, long distance warp!"
The Twilight Chomper dashes forwards quickly, similar to the Scientist's Warp. It is exclusive to the Twilight Chomper and replaces the Burrow ability. Unlike the Rainbow Warp, you can't stock it, but the warp's distance is longer. |
Right abilities | |
Spikeweed |
Laying Spikeweed traps is a great way to ambush Zombies. If they walk over the Spikeweed, they get ensnared and are easy to chomp. |
Spiky Spikeweed |
The Spiky Spikeweed deals more damage to Zombies it ensnares, but only a few can be deployed at a time. |
Vampweed |
When a zombie stumbles into a Vampweed, you get a helpful health boost! The zombie isn't hurt, but he probably feels a bit silly falling into your trap. |

Strategies[]
Twilight Warp can be really helpful for attacking zombies from far distances. It is recommended to Goop a zombie before warping to them to finish them off. Twilight Warp should also be used to get to places where other plants can't in order to take out campers such as Camo Rangers. Like the other Chompers, it is important to be stealthy with this variant.
Pros/Cons[]
Pros
- More damage with each hit (35 damage without upgrades)
- Faster (8.4 speed without upgrades)
- Access to twilight warp (And burrow as well)
- 2 damage upgrades
Cons:
- Bites slower
- Less health (150 without upgrades)
