"Pyra" derives from the Ancient Greek meaning “Born of Flame”which is why he's a fire plant. The the fruit of the pyracantha, an evergreen shrub that's often used in landscaping. The berries are usually red, orange, or yellow, and grow in clusters on the shrub's branches. They're related to apples and are sometimes called small apples. 
Pyracanfid's stem has berries on it and his head is actually a berry as well. 
Pyracantha berries are edible and can be used to make jelly that's similar to apple jelly. They're usually picked in late summer or early fall when they're fairly red and birds start eating them. Although they're not toxic to humans or animals, eating too many raw berries can cause mild stomach upset. The seeds in the fruit are also slightly toxic to humans.

==Strategies ==
Pryracanfi is a powerful plant and should be used by more experienced players. Pryracanfid is a ranged Snapdragon in a way. But because of his slow fire rate, using him with caution is key. Try placing him on the front line, behind a Wall-nut (or other defensive plant) and have damage support plants in case if there any zombies with higher health like, Gargantuars or swarms of Ice Weasels or Zombie Chickens. Pyracanfid's ability to make fires upon zombie's death are extremely helpful for finishing off weaker zombies; Like Imps or weakened Basic Zombies.
Pyracanfid's plant food is very effective in swarms or large groups. weaker zombies are killed quickly and stronger zombies are weakened. ready to be finished off. just be weary not to rely on Pryracanfid alone. due to his slow seed packet recharge and slowe attack speed.speed and slower attack speed.
