This article is about a recently released or soft-released part of a Plants vs. Zombies game. As such, spoilers may be revealed. Read at your own risk!
Bananasaurus Rex is a premiumlegendaryplantcard in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Mega-Grow class. It costs 4 to play, and has 3/3. It has no traits, and its abilities give it+1/+1 every time you draw a card, and make it do a bonus attack after the initial combat if it does not get destroyed in the process.
Bananasaurus Rex is based on the banana, an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous, flowering plants in the genus Musa, and the Tyrannosaurus, more commonly knows as Tyrannosaurus rex, a carnivorous dinosaur in the genus of coelosaurian theropoda dinosauria.
Its name is a portmanteau of the words "banana," the real-life plant this is based on, and "Tyrannosaurus rex," the real-life dinosaur this is based on. It could also be a reference to the famous internet gamer of the same name, though this may just be a coincidence.

Strategies
With
While it is initially not the most cost effective plant, it can become very strong in the late game. Try to increase its power by using cards that allows the player to draw more cards, like Flourish and Holo-Flora. Bananasaurus Rex also acts as an alternative Repeater, but it does not benefit from Torchwood. However, Team-up plants like Torchwood can protect it in the early turns, because it is weak at the beginning of the game.
Use Flourish to draw more cards to buff it. Party Thyme is a good choice too, since it does a bonus attack and draw cards to buff it. However, it is weak, so make sure to protect Party Thyme. Other plants that can also draw cards like Sage Sage and Bean Counter can also be able to buff it. Keeping a received superpower can also buff the Bananasaurus Rex because it counts as drawing a card.
Against
The player should target this plant before it grows too powerful, as it also grows when other plant cards let them draw more cards. If it gets out of control, use Rocket Science, Locust Swarm, Deadly zombies, or Zombot Sharktronic Sub to destroy it.
