Extinctenis (PvZ2)

Extinctenis is a plant found in Plants vs Zombies 2, that can be unlocked in Permian Climax. It is an instant-use, affecting the whole board, that will kill ice-related plants, frozen plants and zombies as well as anything that is encased in an ice-block with the ice block itself, while also thawing up anything on the lawn. Normal plants and zombies, in their cases, will be slowed down by 50%, while fire plants will be immune to the effect and receive a 50% damage boost.
==Plants immune to the effect===
Certain plants are immune to the Extictenis effects, such as :
*The Cactus
*The Aloe
*The Guerrequila
*The Mosschops
*The Pultaspermum
*Any fiery plant like Torchwood or Pepper-pult
==Origins and appearance==
This plant is based on the Pseudoctenis, a genus of cycadalean plant that first appeared during the Permian and thrived until the Late Cretaceous. Its name is a portemanteau with the term "extinction", which refers to a massive reduction of the total biological mass over a short period ; the ability refers to how often extinctions are caused by massive heat waves.
The plant has a short trunk, with a few small fronds behind him and one in the front that resembles a wick ; he keeps frowning, and have two quite large red eyes along a large scar covering part of his right eye.

==Strategies==
This plant is quite strange, as it will affect both plants and zombies. Even if it has a low cost, using it comes with a lot of risks ; it cannot be used with ice plants, will slow down your plants, making your defenses weaker and lowering greatly your sun production but will also boost greatly fire plants, making this a must if you use other plants from Permian Climax or in Frostbite Caves, where it will destroy your frozen plants but also destroy any zombie encased in an ice block, making this an efficient counter to a large amount of Troglobites. However, if you use only normal plants, it won't benefit you since only defensive and instant-use plants will be able to have actual uses once he is activated. It becomes extremely efficient if you use fiery plants, since they will be extremely boosted ; a Pepper-pult will kill a regular zombie in only two shots, while Burniadias will deal an extreme amount of damage to both their main target and zombies behind it. Other fire-based plants will also benefit from this, and will have even more useful since all zombies in the game but one will be slowed down to half their speed, effectively making all of them even less threatening. This is counterbalanced by the generally high cost of fire plants, thus rendering this strategy hard to do in difficult worlds like Permian Climax
