Flammango

Flammango is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 first introduced in the 10.2.1 update for the Flammango's Flame-tasic Arena Season. It set the tiles in front of it on fire, starting from the first tile in front and slowly advancing forward. Each fire tiles deal 40 dps for 10 times and it needs 7.5 seconds to recharge before setting more tiles on fire. Plants can still be planted on fire tiles.
Flammango is immune to frost and warms nearby plants every 6 seconds.
==Origins==
Flammango is based on a mango, more specifically Ataulfo mangos from Mexico.
It's name and ability is a portmanteau of the words "flame," a name for fire, "mango", the fruit it is based on and "Flamingo", a type of birds with a name that sounds similar to "flame mango".

== Strategies ==
Flammango is a very powerful plant, by itself, it can set tiles on fire and burn through weak zombies quickly, with each fire tile capable of defeating 2 Basic Zombies. While its range isn't good at first, it can slowly stack up more fire tiles if there's no zombies walking on them, allowing it to burn through more zombies as they're getting closer.
As it sets more tiles on fire with time, it is adviced to pair it up with another attacking plants to allow Flammango to spawn more fire tiles when the time needs. Flammango should be placed near the middle of the lawn so that it can damage zombies quickly but have chance to spawn extra fire tiles.
It is especially useful in Frostbite Caves, where it can thaw out nearby plants and can't be frozen. When planted in the middle of the lawn, it can block snowballs from Hunter Zombies and damage zombies.
The main weakness is its attack speed, which is rather slow for an attacking plant, only setting a tile on fire every 7.5 seconds when not upgraded. Therefore you should plant defensive plants in front of it to stall longer, as plants can still be planted on fire tiles.
Fire tiles can't go over water in Pirate Seas and Big Wave Beach, so be careful when using it in those worlds.
In Dark Ages, it can't damage Imp Dragon Zombies, but fire tiles will still disappear when they step on it, so they're quite useless against them. It also can't damage flying zombies due to them not touching the fire tiles, so you should be careful of them when they appears.
Its ability is also limited by grid items. While frozen blocks can be destroy easily due to it being made from ice, other grid items can tank a couple fire tiles before getting destroyed, along with its slow attack speed, you would have trouble destroying them if you only rely on Flammango to clear them.

== Trivia ==
* This is the creator's first page for a plant itself, rather than having plants all listed in a page.
* Flammango's costume reference its name origin being from Flamingo.
* This is the first plant in the series to be a mango.
* Despite it having no flame when resting, it still can't be frozen and will thaw nearby plants.
** This might be because of balancing reasons. 
*In the Chinese Version, once Flammango reached level 2, 3 and 5, their flame will become blue, purple and green respectively
