Eggplant

Eggplant is the third plant obtained in Deserted Canyon in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. Eggplant does damage in a specific area that is described as "cone-like." Its area in question is three tiles forward, and the tiles above and below the third tile. Eggplant will deal damage to all the zombies within this area, dealing 40 every 2.85-3 seconds. Additionally, Eggplant can be lit by .
== Origins ==
 
Eggplant's name comes from the real-life eggplant, a species of plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae. However, its appearance is modeled after an egg, rather than the plant that it is based off of.

== Overview ==
Eggplant deals damage to all zombies in a specific range. Below is a table to visualize its range:
o	o	o	o	o	o	o	o	o

Visually, it rolls onto the third tile in front of it, and then it breaks in half to deal damage to the tiles above and below. It does not deal less damage despite appearing to break in half. It respawns by rising from the ground, in a similar manner to s
== Strategies ==
Eggplant is unique in that its optimal range is quite far from itself. In a way, one could think of it as some sort of reverse-melee plant. It is recommended to bring plant that can stall zombies in those last few tiles in which Eggplant thrives. provides cheap knockback, and he can be great to use against singular targets. A well-timed Boppin' Bush would be a preferable strategy for late-game stalling, especially when facing against huge hordes that can easily overwhelm a little Spring Bean. The Punch Tree's close range also meshes well with Eggplant's peculiar range. A classic wall plant like could suffice as well, although you may run into the problem of instant-kill zombies crushing through your walls.
When going against Vulture Owner Zombie, a horde of Eggplants can be useful for dealing bursts of damage within a quick amount of time. This will ensure that any low-health zombies are killed before the vulture is able to grab a hold of them. Otherwise, they will bring the zombies right out of the Eggplant's optimal range. 
Starting up a defense with just Eggplants may prove to be a slow process, especially in the beginning. Make sure you stall for time to build a solid defense of s before doing so. If not, then you can also bring cheaper attacking plants for the early-game stage. For an extra damage boost, consider using s with your Eggplants.
