About plants vs zombies names

Plants vs. Zombies names follow two patterns that are easy to copy. A plant is a real plant fused with what it does: Peashooter shoots peas, Wall-nut is a wall, Cherry Bomb explodes, Snapdragon breathes fire and Bonk Choy punches. A zombie is a plain description plus the word Zombie (Conehead Zombie, Buckethead Zombie, Pole Vaulting Zombie) or a pun on the word itself, like Zomboni.

About a third of this list, 166 names, is the cast itself: plants and zombies from the games, from Sunflower, Chomper and Kernel-pult to Newspaper Zombie, Gargantuar and Dr. Zomboss. The other two thirds are fan-made in the same mold, for mods, drawings and party games. They cover shooters and lobbers (Lentil Launcher, Shallot Slingshot), walls (Pecan't Pass, Kale Mail), one-use explosives (Thyme Bomb, Kaboomquat), mushrooms and night plants (Snooze-shroom, Morel Support), water, ice and fire plants (Lotus Floatus, Frozen Peas, Red Hot Poker), sun makers and helpers (Sundew Collector, Alarm Bell Pepper), prop, job and sport zombies (Colander Zombie, Hockey Goalie Zombie), era zombies, boss machines such as Zombot Lawn Mauler, and a few neighbors in the Crazy Dave mold.

Every fan-made plant is built on a real plant, fruit, vegetable or fungus, and the zombies stay at the games' cartoon level. This page has no connection to the games' publisher.

How to choose plants vs zombies names

  • Start a plant from its job. Decide what it does on the lawn (shoot, block, explode, make sun), then look for a plant whose name already hides that word: thyme gives Thyme Bomb and leek gives Leek-Proof Wall.
  • Keep zombies simple. One prop, job or sport plus the word Zombie reads best, and Mailbox Zombie or Hard Hat Zombie tells you how tough it is before it takes a step.
  • Use the series' endings sparingly: -shroom for fungi, -pult for lobbers and -nut for walls. One per name is enough.
  • Say the name aloud. The pun should land at a glance, as Yam Slam and Cool Cucumber do; if it needs explaining, pick a plainer one.
  • For a party or drawing game, deal one plant and one zombie and have everyone sketch the matchup.

Frequently asked questions

Which names in the list are real Plants vs. Zombies characters?

166 of the 500 are from the games. They include plants such as Peashooter, Sunflower, Wall-nut, Potato Mine, Snow Pea, Chomper, Repeater, Squash, Jalapeno, Torchwood, Cattail, Winter Melon, Cob Cannon, Bonk Choy, Citron and Ghost Pepper, and zombies such as Conehead Zombie, Buckethead Zombie, Football Zombie, Dancing Zombie, Zomboni, Digger Zombie, Gargantuar, Imp and Dr. Zomboss, along with Crazy Dave. They come from across the series and are not sorted by game or world.

Are the other names from the games too?

No. The rest were written for this page in the games' style, and none of them is presented as a character from any game. The series is large, so a pun this natural may also turn up on a card or in a spin-off. If you do not remember a name from the games, treat it as fan-made and check before you call your own plant new.

How do I name my own plant in this style?

Pick a real plant, fruit, vegetable or fungus and join it to an action, ideally through a word the two share. Blast Radish plays on blast radius, Tater Detonator rhymes, and Squirting Cucumber and Red Hot Poker are real plant names that already sound like attacks. Mushrooms usually take the -shroom ending, as in Hiccup-shroom.

Are the zombie names suitable for kids?

Yes. They stay at the games' cartoon level: a prop, a job, a sport or an era plus the word Zombie, such as Teapot Zombie, Crossing Guard Zombie and Hoverboard Zombie. There is no gore and no horror wording.
