Soulspore is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is a seasonal plant, tied to Soulspore's Infernal Season in . Soulspore calls upon his mischievous Spirit companion to engulf a lane in soul fire when tapped and aimed, dealing damage to everything there. The Spirit will return to Soulspore after a little while and wait for more orders.
When tapped, Soulspore enters a sort of primed state. When the primed state, tapping on a tile will cause Soulspore to send his Spirit companion to divebomb that tile, dealing 1300 damage to that tile as well as causing a burst of soul fire that deals 650 damage to all other zombies in the lane. Neither the divebomb nor the flames pierce armor, making them not quite exactly the same as something like a or . The Spirit then goes away for 15 seconds before returning to Soulspore and being able to be re-sent again.
Soulspore is also quite large, taking up two horizontal tiles.
==Origins==
	Soulspore is based on, and named after, the puffball, a type of fungi which are known for bursting upon maturity and dispersing copious amounts of airborne spores.
	Soulspore's purple coloration makes him more specifically resemble a purple-spored puffball, (Calvatia cyathiformis), a large edible saprobic species of Calvatia mushrooms.

== Strategies ==
Deploy Soulspore strategically to control specific lanes during crucial moments in the game. By tapping and aiming at a targeted tile, Soulspore can unleash its Spirit companion to divebomb, dealing substantial damage to that tile and causing a burst of soul fire to damage all other zombies in the lane. Use this ability to focus on high-traffic lanes or when dealing with tough zombie waves, helping to clear the path and maintain control over critical areas.
Pair Soulspore with other offensive plants that can capitalize on the burst of soul fire it generates. Plants with area attacks or those that can exploit weakened zombies will synergize well. Consider planting Soulspore in conjunction with plants like or to maximize damage output and efficiently handle groups of zombies in the affected lane.
Since Soulspore's abilities do not pierce armor, use it primarily against hordes of weaker zombies rather than heavily-armored ones. Reserve Soulspore for situations where its divebomb and soul fire can have the most significant impact, such as eliminating large groups of basic or moderately strong zombies. Keep in mind that the Spirit's divebomb can immediately take out , and its soul fire can take out .
