Hydran0ra

Hydran0ra is a sedum plant in Plants vs. Zombie 2, unlocked in Hydran0ra's mutated arena season. Hydran0ra drains the zombie closest to it on any tile. The drain deals 12.5% of the max toughness. It then releases a stunning musk that stuns zombies for the amount of damage dealt divided by 10.
==Origins==
Hydran0ra is based on Hydnora Africana, a parasitic plant native to South Africa. Its ability to drain zombies is a nod to how its real-life counterpart is parasitic and commonly “drains” other plants in the wild. Its foul stench and overall design are a reference to how its real-life counterpart produces flowers that look like large jaws and release a foul stench to attract beetles and flies. Its name references the legendary dragon from Greek mythology called the Hydra. The two share some similarities, such as having multiple heads and being a slightly unsettling sight. The zero in its name signifies that it was the result of some sort of mutant experiment.

==Strategies==
Hydran0ra is useful when dealing with armored zombies because it can ignore armor. It can also stall them, making it practically the perfect weapon against armored zombies. However, it’s not the best choice if you need to deal with large swarms unless you can get many of them on the lawn. A good strategy with Hydran0ra is to use it alongside Primal or Twin Sunflowers, Lightning Reeds, Primal Peashooters, and, of course, Hydran0ra itself. The Primal or Twin Sunflowers provide optimal sun production, the Lightning Reeds handle swarms, and the Primal Peashooters and Hydran0ra help stun and slow the advancement of waves.
