The PiPigirl **Dark Tomato** (**黑暗西红柿**: *Hēi'àn xīhóngshì*) plush is a round yellow tomato with a light green top that has five leaves and a stem, as well as a unique green six leaf pattern. It also has an angry face with white eye shines and a mouth that looks somewhat like a "3".

## Origin

Dark Tomato originated from the bootleg online Flash and mobile game *Plants vs. Zombies Online* (not to be confused with the official game of the same name, which was based off this game), also known as *Plants Gone Wild*. The game is an MMO SNS RPG where you evolve your plants into stronger ones, similarly to the game *Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.* Several characters in the game infringe the copyright of other likenesses outside of *Plants vs. Zombies*, including Elvis Presley, Super Mario, the 2009 film Avatar, and multiple animes. Dark Tomato evolves from Cyclone Ms. Tomato and a Purple Cactus plant based off Naruto, and evolves into Cyclone Dragon Beauty and Fire Dark Tomato. It also shares a main evolution line with Ms. Tomato and Dragon Beauty.

## Bootleg

The bootleg Dark Tomato is based off of the first design. It has darker colored leaves. The stem on-top of its head is a paler shade of green, sometimes being a pale shade of yellow. It also isn't stitched on that great. The face is practically the same except the embroidery of it is lower quality. The stitching of the body is on the outside of the plush, when it's supposed to be on the inside of the plush. Listings of this bootleg refer to this as either E.M. Peach or Solar Tomato.

## Trivia

* There are not any known archived listings of the plush when it was initially available referring to it by its official name, usually referring to it as something along the lines of "Lucuma" or "Egg Yolk Food," and bootleg listings referring to it as E.M. Peach or Solar Tomato.

## Errors/Inaccuracies

* Like many other catapult plush, this is missing the pult.
* It is missing the brown patches that are present in Plants Gone Wild's sprites.
* It has 6 leaves instead of 4.
* The stem is a different shade of green than the leaves, which is inaccurate as the actual design uses the same shades of green for the leaves and the stem.

## Where to Buy

The Dark Tomato plush is a difficult one to find, similarly to all other PiPigirl plush. Your best bet would be eBay, but the plush doesn't show up very often. You would need a good amount of patience in order to find one.
