Dragon Pepper

Dragon Pepper is a shop plant which can be purchased from Crazy Dave at his shop. He breathes fire in front of him, burning zombies for a few seconds. He has a limited range up to four spaces.
==Origins==
===Physiology, Naming and Imagery===
Dragon Pepper is based on the real-life tabasco pepper, a variety of the chili pepper species Capsicum frutescens originating in Mexico. It has a 30,000 to 50,000 per scoville, referencing his almanac entry how tabasco peppers are spicy.
He is also inspired by dragons, a mythical creature that appears in the folklore of multiple cultures worldwide. This gains Dragon Pepper's abilities come from that he can breathe fire.
===Creation===
Dragon Pepper is a plant originally created on July 30, 2023. He was a 125-cost plant that spray fire down a lane, doing extensive burning damage over a short distance like / for older versions. The plant seems to be basic at first, but that leads that Dragon Pepper is a good plant back in the day. However, unoriginality had became a contributing factor when it came to page deletion on the wiki, and on June 13 2024, Dragon Pepper was deleted by AsterWasTaken along with the other Plants vs. Zombies: Wanderlust due to the ability is WAY similar to existing plants. 2 months later, he is the second Plants vs. Zombies: Wanderlust plant which receives a ground up, as a PvZ1 plant.
==Almanac entry==
==Strategies==
Dragon Pepper's ability to breathe fire is a decent idea to have an another plant which has limited range. Since becoming the first limited range plant. I'll explain what this plant do, and a little analysis.
In most levels, Newspaper Zombie, Screen Door Zombie, Dancing Zombie (including the Backup Dancer), and Catapult Zombie are his good counters. Since he can burn zombies overtime, it has an unlimited access to his attack, which makes him a bit powerful. The worse cases for him is Snorkel Zombie while underwater, Zomboni because of his zamboni, Zombie Bobsled Team while riding, Balloon Zombie due to it's flying ability, and Pogo Zombie due to his pogo stick to avoid his attacks. One reason why is only land zombies can deal damage for it which all zombies turned into ash, like Jalapeno does. It does not recommend him to bring to Roof because these roof tiles can block his attacks. His damage wise is 30, which is almost killing a Conehead zombie 
In Survival Mode levels or in Last Stand, he can be eventually spammed by one, allowing other plants to attack them. If there's so many zombies, use Pumpkin If zombies are way to many in later levels or a wall plant combining with Pumpkin for safety.
