Chinese English 荸荠兄弟依然是本年度冬季运动会中冰壶项目的夺冠热门，他们的绝活就是最后的时候将其他选手的冰壶全部撞出去，只留下他们自己的，走完所有的路，让别人无路可走。 The Water Chestnut Brothers are still the most popular curling champions in this year's Winter Games. Their unique strategy is to knock away the other player's stones at the last minute, leaving only their own, changing the field, and leaving others nowhere to go.

Water Chestnut Brothers (荸荠兄弟; pinyin: bíqí xiōngdì) are a legendary Monthly special plant introduced in the v2.5.0 update of the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 alongside Pokra and Penny's Pursuit. They knock back zombies they hit and leave a chilling trail behind.

About

Water Chestnut Brothers attack zombies by launching themselves at zombies. The first chestnut will be sent down the lane with a chance of generating an ice trail. When it hits a zombie, it knocks them back and the chestnut remains on that tile as a defensive plant.

The second chestnut will be shot after the first one. It moves faster on the ice trail. If it hits the first chestnut, the first chestnut will be knocked forward, damaging an entire lane. After that, the second chestnut disappears. After both chestnuts are used, they will start to cool down, regenerating new chestnuts.

Origin

Water Chestnut Brothers are based on the Eleocharis dulcis, known commonly as the water chestnut, an edible corm produced by the grass-like sedge of the family Cyperaceae.

Their name and abilities are also based on the ice sport Curling, wherein two teams slide polished granite stones on an expansive ice sheet with points being determined by how close the stones land to the center of a large target printed on the ice.

Trivia

• It is unknown why or how they can be chosen on Sky City.
• If they are dug up after the big one is thrown it will miss the small one.
• Despite the fact that Hammer Zombie and Nunchaku Zombie can deflect the chestnuts they launch, it’s impossible for Jester Zombie or Excavator Zombie to avoid being damaged by them.
