Peashooter is the original plant hero from Plants vs. Zombies, and Garden Warfare 2 is the 2016 team-based shooter sequel that turned the tower-defence cast into playable characters. In the game, Peashooter attacks by firing peas, and its bright, cartoon sound design helped keep the battles playful for a broad audience. Clips of its voice and weapon effects later circulated among fans making gameplay videos and memes, where the character's cheerful style made it an easy shorthand for light-hearted combat. That familiarity keeps it useful for gaming edits today.
