Orchicoatl

Orchicoatl is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. This majestic plant takes to the skies, granting it the power to soar above zombie waves. Orchicoatl can summon mighty tornadoes that sweep through the yard, forcefully pushing zombies back 2 tiles and if they approach way too much it is able to bite them furiously.
Orchicoatl can be dragged to any tile on its lawn, after that, it will leave the ground and fly through avoiding the zombie horde (Except Gargantuars, in that case Orchicoatl will do a powerful bite attack and return to its tile) to reach even the furthest zombies where it will descend to damage them(1000 damage), this attack affects 2 tiles (The ones Orchicoatl is dragged to). If its attack encounters any flying zombies in a group it will deal the damage to them and then return to its tile
(The sky descending attack damage is distributed among all the zombies in those two tiles)
Finally, if zombies get near Orchicoatl, it will start biting them as a meelee attack (30 damage)
==Origins ==
Orchicoatl is based on an Orchid and the Aztec deity Quetzalcóatl. To the Aztecs, Quetzalcoatl was, as his name indicates (It literally means Beautiful Feather Serpent), a feathered serpent. He was a creator deity having contributed essentially to the creation of mankind. He also had anthropomorphic forms, for example in his aspects as Ehecatl the wind god.

== Strategies ==
Use defensive plants and let the zombies agroupate, then use the flying ability of Orchicoatl to end them all. 
Create a defensive plants barrica by placing Orchicoatl in a lane between two straight rows of defensive plants. As zombies approach, Orchicoatl's tornadoes will knock them back, keeping them away from your valuable defenses. Combine with powerful offensive plants in the adjacent lanes to take them down easily.
Arrange your plants in a strategically around Orchicoatl. The tornadoes act as a shield, preventing zombies from getting too close to your other plants, allowing you to plant slow recharge plants in front of him.
Use Orchicoatl as your primary defense against flying zombies, such as Jetpack Zombies or Balloon Zombies. Targeting the airborne enemies before they can reach your other plants. This allows you to focus your ground-based plants on dealing with the regular zombies, creating a well-rounded defense.
Team up Orchicoatl with other plants like Wall-nut and Bonk Choy. Place them in the same lawn as Orchicoatl and let Bonk Choy deal with the approaching zombies while Orchicoatls takes down the ones that are further away.
