The Tail line (尾草系; pinyin: wěi cǎo xì) is a Class S PvZAS Icon BraveBrave plant line in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.

The line consists of Cattail (猫尾草; pinyin: māo wěi cǎo), Dogtail (狗尾草; pinyin: gǒu wěi cǎo), and Foxtail (狐尾草; pinyin: hú wěi cǎo). They all specialize in generating wrath and attack by firing spikes from their tails.

Origins[]

Cattail1

All members of the Tail line are based on various types of plants that are named after animals, more specifically their tails. Their appearances are based on the animal on which their base plants are named after.

The first tier, Cattail, is based on the plant from previous games with the same name and appearance.

800px-Groene naaldaar aarpluim (Setaria viridis)

The second tier, Dogtail, is based on the green foxtail (Setaria viridis), a member of the Setaria genus of invasive grass plants, many of which are commonly named dogtail grass due to their fuzzy appearance.

Alopecurus pratensis Grote vossenstaart

The third tier, Foxtail, is based on a meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis), also known as the field meadow foxtail, a perennial grass plant native to Europe and Asia.

Its method of attack involving numerous thin spikes is based on the diaspore that is also called the Foxtail, a seed dispersal unit which uses easily removable spikes to stick to animal fur.
