Soul Cherry

Soul Cherry is a limited edition premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, unlocked after completing the Epic Quest: Soul Collector, which invlolves defeating 2000 zombies during the Lawn of Doom event. It attacks the zombie with the least health on the lawn with purple will o' wisps that deal minimum 20 dps every 1.5 seconds. After any zombie is defeated, every Soul Cherry will collect a soul which increases the damage per will o' wisp by 20 dps. This boost can stack, but each soul lasts 15 seconds individually.
Since it isn't a living plant, Soul Cherry can withstand merely 1 dps. However, it is immune to freezing, burning, being transformed or pulled from range. Contact with any zombie will make it disappear. It can also be planted on water in Big Wave Beach without needing a Lily Pad.
==Origins==
Soul Cherry is based off of the Prunus cerasus fruit, commonly known as sour cherry. 
Its name is a portmanteau of sour cherry and soul, referencing its ghostly appearance and its ability to collect souls from defeated zombies to power up its attack.

==Startegies==
Although it may not be a good early-game plant because of its high cost and sluggish recharge, Soul Cherry is a really great late-game plant if used correctly. Its targeting system allows for all Soul Cherries on the lawn to quickly get boosted and deal massive damage to tougher threats after the weaker ones have been defeated. Because of this, Soul Cherry works especially great when paired with plants that deal splash damage, like Melon-pult or Dusk Lobber, or with explosive plants like Cherry Bomb for an instant massive soul boost. The best combination, however, is when paired with vine plants, since Pumpkin can protect Soul Cherry from zombies, while offensive vines can protect it slightly and deal splash damage to help boost it quickly. Soul Cherry can also be considered somewhat of a counter to Wizard Zombies, Octo Zombies, Hunter Zombies and Gargantuar Prime because it is immune to their ranged attacks.
==Trivia==
*Soul Cherry disappearing upon contact may imply that it's not actually in the battle
**This is further supported by the fact that it is immune to non-physical attacks and the fact that it floats on water.
**However, this may also just mean that it's just a spirit like Ghost Pepper.
*The purple flames reference will o' wisps, or soul fires, which are mythical fires fueled by souls, usually having a blue or purple color.
