The Linxin **Bursa** (**黏液囊**: *Niányè náng*) plush has a shooter on the top of its head, which is green on the outside and black on the inside. The Bursa plush also has a stem on its back, which is stitched to the shooter, and there is a large leaf glued to said stem. For the face the plush has white eyes with black pupils, as well as a smile. The leaf base is a bit different from other plants, and is a three leaf base with a somewhat curved line on the right.

## Origin

Bursa is from a series of artwork made by Hu Yulin, or plenilunefox, in 2010 and posted to Weibo. The artwork was made to replicate the art style of *Plants vs. Zombies*, as concepts for an at the time hypothetical sequel to the game. These were only made for fun, and Hu did not intend to create a hoax, however Weibo netizens misinterpreted his posts as being for an actual sequel to *Plants vs. Zombies*. Coincidentally, James Gwertzman, the at the time general manager of PopCap Asia/Pacific, was apparently also making posts hinting at *Plants vs. Zombies 2* around the same time, further convincing people that Hu's artwork and mockups were official. This artwork misinterpreted as leaks spread across a large portion of the Chinese internet, and even spread further outside of it.

According to the Hu's concepts, Bursa would have yellow mucus be manually fired at groups of zombies, similarly to how Cob Cannon fires. The mucus shot by the Bursa would slow down zombies rather than damage them, and the plant would have a quick recharge time as opposed to Cob Cannon's slow recharge time.

Bursa's name is based of the word "Bursa," or fluid filled sac. Bursa is possibly also based off the Capsella genus of plants.

## Bootleg

*For another bootleg, see Bursa ("Linxin 2").*

The bootleg of this plush is a very lime green color. The face and leaf are very low quality. The leaf is also a slightly different shape than the official. The outlines on the eyes and the pupils are bolder than the official plush. The smile is thinner than the official plush. The differences aren't that big, but the bootleg is noticeably a much lower quality than the official.

## Trivia

* Most listings of this plush did not refer to it as its actual name, using either mistranslations or incorrect names, including Mucus Melon, Mucus Sac, Cabbage-pult, and Bamboo Shoot.
* This, Garlic Angel, Grass Skirt Zombie, and Witch Zombie are the four characters designed by Hu Yulin to have plush made of them.
	+ Bursa, Garlic Angel, and Grass Skirt Zombie are the only three ones to have plush made by Linxin.

## Errors/Inaccuracies

* It has three leaves on its leaf base, instead of four.
* The leaves are also the wrong shape and darker color.
* The leaf on the back should be a lighter green.
* The eyes should be black with white pupils instead of whit eyes with black pupils.

## Where to Buy

The small size Bursa is decently rare, your best bet would be eBay, but watch out for stock listings, because they almost always have a bootleg. The green hole version is super rare, but definitely obtainable. The larger sizes are incredibly rare, very obscure too. Your best bet is eBay, but they basically never show up.
