==Origins==
Dr. Zombotany is based on a mad scientist, and a botanist, someone who studies plants. His name is a combination of "Dr.", suggesting his professional status, and Zombotany, a reference to the Zombotanies from PvZ1. Due to his name and appearance, he seems to be the one behind the Zombotanies, which is supported by his superpowers and unlock comic.

==Hero Quests==
==Strategies==
===With===
Dr. Zombotany's main strength is his sheer amount of weakening cards, which he can use to very effectively block lanes and prevent your opponent from playing their strong cards. All of his superpowers are mainly themed around this, with Zom-pea being capable of making a weak block charger for your opponent when destroyed, Weed Wacker being able to make lane bloggers that benefit you when evolved, and Herbicide turning weak swarms into lanes of block chargers. Because of this, stall strategies can be very effective when playing as him.
Being a Beastly and Hearty hero, he also has access to almost all Frenzy cards in the game. While this may be overlooked at first glance, looking at his abilities shows that they are all based around weakening targets and blocking lanes which can be used to charge up and keep his Frenzy fighters alive. Due to this, he synergizes very well with Ancient Vimpire, being able to fill lanes with weak Plants to allow swarms of weak Frenzies to quickly grow from Ancient Vimpire's ability.
Similarly to The Smash, he can also do fairly well with tempo or sports decks but with a focus on weakening your opponent instead of boosting your own cards to keep ahead of the game
As a hero with some very odd superpowers, he can be compared to Beta-Carrotina in terms of deckbuilding. His very unique superpowers make him a bit worse with general Beastly or Hearty decks, but allow him to excel while using decks that benefit from his Superpowers and their strengths.
===Against===
While playing against Dr. Zombotany, it is a good idea to figure what his strategy is early into the game. Because most of his superpowers are based around lane clogging and weakening, it is a good idea to focus on more large threats than a steady swarm of weak things, as Dr. Zombotany can quickly turn them into lane blockers and blockchargers to benefit himself. His signature can also be incredibly dangerous while running tribe-based decks, being able to give a big loss to the targeted card while also shrinking down your other synergy cards. This is especially dangerous when running Mushrooms, as he can easily remove tons of your weak fighters if you haven't been able to boost them up first.
Otherwise, just try to chip away at his health while trying to counter his tough Frenzy minions or else your health will quickly begin dropping and you'll have a tough time getting things back in your favor.
