Chinese English 雷龙草作为闪电家族的一部分，自称来自阿斯咖德，是家族里出了名的恶霸，嘴里老是嘟囔着 “I am dragon of thunder”。“人人都说我长得像火龙草，我可跟它什么关系都没有，我长得比那伙计长得好看多了！”它不屑的说道。 As a member of the Lightning Family, Zapdragon claims to be from Asgard, and is a well-known bully within the family, always muttering "I am The Dragon of Thunder."

Zapdragon (雷龙草; pinyin: Léi lóng cǎo) is a legendary plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 which was released for the 2.3.95 update. When zombies are four tiles in front of it, it shoots out an electric ball that deals 250 DPS directly and 100 DPS splash damage in a 3x3 area.

Origins

Much like Cold Snapdragon, Zapdragon is based on Snapdragon, which is in turn based on the real-life snapdragons, plants from the Antirrhinum genus. This is similar to how Peashooter has ice, fire and electric counterparts. Its name is portmanteau of "zap," referring to its electric abilities and "snapdragon".

Strategies

This plant can be very powerful, if used right. It has high DPS for low sun cost, and can be used to deal with early zombie waves. Small range should be helped with high-health plants, such as Wall-nut, Wax Guard, or long-range Chest-nut.

This plant is vulnerable to surprise attacks such as "Bot Swarm!" and "Parachute Rain!" as his slow fire rate is easily countered in head-to-head fight. E.M.Peach and Iceberg Lettuce's plant food ability are recommended in such cases. For some reason it does not attack seagull zombies.

At level 2 and higher this plant can be used to briefly paralyze zombots, and a big group of them can effectively lock Zombots out from doing anything. Player is recommended to bring high-DPS plants to fasten the fight.

Trivia

• Its stem resembles Snapdragon's, but in a green-blue color.
• Zapdragon's almanac description likely references Thor, the Norse god of thunder and lightning, in several ways including Zapdragon claiming to be from Asgard (home of the Norse gods) and that he's "The Dragon of Thunder".
• This is the only Snapdragon that uses projectiles as its attack instead of spraying electricity like its fire and ice counterparts.
