Summary
Torchwood is a plant appearing in the Plants vs. Zombies game as well as their Chinese spin-offs.
Torchwood lights regular peas that pass through him, turning them into fire peas. These fire peas deal twice (more if boosted by Pea Vine) the damage of normal peas, but also removes all ice-based effect from the target, such as Iceberg Lettuce's freezing and Winter Melon's chilling effect. Frozen peas fired by Snow Pea will thaw, becoming normal peas and losing their slowing ability.
In PvZ2 he has lost his ability to give fire peas splash damage, but has higher health and also deals close range fire damage to zombies near him similar to Endurian. He also explodes and does lane-wide fire damage when eaten, similar to Hot Date.
Giga Torchwood is a boss plant exclusive to Graveyard Ops and the Backyard Battleground in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. Giga Torchwood is based on Torchwood's design in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He has both long range and short range attacks, making him similar to the Giga Gargantuar. He is similar to the Torchwood character class.
