PepperX

PepperX is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, associated with Lawn of Doom event. PepperX requires 250 seed packets to be obtained.
PepperX is a single-use plant, when eaten by zombies, they will be turned backward, then spitting flames three tiles ahead for 6 seconds, dealing 300 damage per tick, making the eaten zombies deal 1800 damage in total. Additionally, affected zombies will be stunned for 12 seconds after spitting flames. Basically PepperX turns any zombies that eat it into Jack O' Lantern.
PepperX is also a thawing plant, capable of emitting heat surrounding himself in Frostbite Caves.
== Origins ==
PepperX is based on the chili pepper with the same name, which is the world's currently hottest pepper.

=== Plant Food effect ===
When given Plant Food, PepperX will be engulf in flame, infecting any zombie that consumes it. Affected zombie when destroyed will release a fire trail in + shape, akin to Jalapeno's level 2 ability in Chinese version. The fire trail will deal damage based on the zombie's health, the higher the health of the zombie, the more damage the fire trail deals.
=== Pepper-mint effect ===
When boosted by Pepper-mint, PepperX's damage per tick is increased by 550.
== Strategies ==
PepperX is kind of interesting plant, as instead of being used to be digested by zombies to kill them, PepperX's main benefit is to repel a group of zombies when a zombie digests it, causing the zombie that eats it to turn back and acts like Jack O' Lantern for few seconds. Additionally, PepperX also stuns the zombie that eats it for 12 seconds after spitting flames, though there are much better stunning options (i.e. Stunion, etc...)
Since PepperX is a fire plant, it is not recommend to use it against Imp Dragon Zombies due to their immunity to fire, though PepperX can be digested by Imp Dragon Zombies to activate its ability.

==Trivia==
* PepperX's ability is designed to be deliberate inverse of Chili Bean's ability, while Chili Bean kills the zombie that eats it and stuns zombies behind them, PepperX stuns the zombie that eats it but kills zombies behind them.
* PepperX's almanac entry is a reference to the real-life Pepper X beating the Carolina Reaper as the world's hottest chili pepper.
