Monkey's Palm

Monkey's Palm is an instant-use plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 9.6.1 update for the Monkey's Palm Sudden Death Arena season. He can be planted on any plant on the lawn and make them become endangered. If the endangered plants are kept safe at the end of the level, a Monkey's Palm piñata will be rewarded to the player that gives out a number of the endangered plant's seed packets, along with the rewards that we're supposed to be given normally. The player can of course make more of the same plant become endangered in order to increase the amount of seed packets earned for said plant.
==Origins==
Monkey's Palm is based off of the palm tree (Arecaceae); as well as the monkey. The name and ability of the plant is based on the term monkey's paw, where a positive event causes a negative consequence, which originated from W.W. Jacob's horror short story The Monkey's Paw.

==Seed packets rewards==
Monkey's Palms seed packet rewards not only depends on how many of the same plant have become endangered by him, but also by the difficulty of the world. The formula of the number of seed packets rewarded is:
((# of plants endangered by Monkey's Palm * 5) + Level number) * (1+ World Difficulty modifier) = # of seed packets rewarded for each plant.
Example: 10 Sunflowers and 10 Peashooters in Modern Day - Day 1 have become endangered thanks to Monkey's Palm. Completing the level will reward you 204 seed packets for each of the two plants.
World Difficulty 	Seed packet Modifier
2 Jalapeños 	0
3 Jalapeños 	1
4 Jalapeños 	2
5 Jalapeños 	3
Expansion Level Epic Quests	4
Miscellaneous areas such as Arena, or the levels in Penny's Pursuit are counted as 5 Jalapeños as default.
==Strategies==
Monkey's Palm is a plant that is built around a risk/reward mechanic. While you can play it safe and grind seed packets in easy worlds such as Ancient Egypt or Pirate Seas, much more difficult worlds such as Modern Day will reward you with much more seed packets if you're able to protect your endangered plants. It is recommended that you bring along leveled-up plants in the difficult worlds in order to better the odds of you completing the level without having your endangered plants eaten. 
Due to the plant's nature of making plants endangered, it is recommended to bring Escape Root in order to bring endangered plants to safety when 
If you intend to use Monkey's Palm in order to grind for Puff-shroom seed packets, it is recommended that you bring along Power Lily and/or have it boosted in order to keep it safe from disappearing. 
It is not recommended that you bring Monkey's Palm in Endless Zones, especially in the higher levels, in order to lessen the risk of losing a high streak due to losing your endangered plant.

Note that this is actually a fixed bug that allowed Monkey's Palm to be planted on already endangered plants.
