8-Pit

8-Pit is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: Rips in Time. Approximately every six seconds, she will create a pixellated spaceship that travels to the nearest zombie on-screen. The spaceship will start shooting the zombie, dealing 15 damage per shot every 1.5 seconds until the zombie has 100 health left, or less, at which point it will be abducted and the ship will disappear. Small zombies like Imps and Zombie Weasels will be abducted as well, but the ship will not disappear if it abducts one of those, and will instead move onto another zombie. She is obtained by beating survival levels in Altar of the Sun.
==Origins==
8-Pit is based on the plant Prunus persica, known as the peach in English. Peaches are known for having pits, inspiring its name. 8-Pit is inspired by video games from the golden age of arcade video games, which are known for having 8-bit graphics. In particular, her spaceships seem to be based off the ones seen in Space Invaders and Galaga.
Her almanac entry references the lyrics to the song "Cabinet Man" by Neil Cicierga.

==Upgrades==
===Plant Food upgrade===
When fed Plant Food, 8-Pit will produce a mothership that moves across the screen, abducting any zombies with 600 health or less, and firing projectiles that deal 200 damage to any un-abducted zombie. Unlike the traditional spaceships, the mothership will not abduct the zombie if it is lowered to 600 health after being shot.
==Strategies==
8-Pit is best used as a support unit, rather than the player's primary attacker, since she deals less damage than a Peashooter, even if she can target any zombie on screen, and in addition, target multiple at a time, as only one spaceship can attack a single zombie. However, multiple 8-Pits can provide excellent support, as they will regularly produce spaceships to target zombies across the board. They are particularly good at handling Imps, since they always target the closest zombie on the board, and will instantly kill them, still letting the space-ship target other zombies. On levels with Gargantuars, often at least one 8-Pit can be recommended.

==Trivia==
*Much like 8-Bit Zombie, she has far more colors than a traditional 8-bit sprite, and looks closer to 16-bit graphics.
