Ailuropod

Ailuropods are a type of enemy appearing in Plants vs. Zombies: Infinite Generation.

Origins
The Ailuropod armor and keycard is based off of the Scouting Panda Raider from Kamen Rider Zero One. The name for their in-game appearance is derived from the technical name for members of the genus Ailuropoda, which giant pandas belong to.

As with all other Raider types, the base Infinite Robot underneath the Raider gear is a RGM-89B Jegan Type B.

Behavior
Ailuropods are one of the weakest enemy types in terms of health in the entire game, tied with some of the most fragile Gnome sub-types for lowest relative HP. A single precision shot from any weapon that is not a 720-RPM assault rifle will instantly kill an Ailuropod.

Ailuropods will spot the player from the distance, using their Dead Monochrome rifle to snipe the player, though the gun also has an assault mode sometimes used by more aggressive users of the armor. On an infrequent basis, Ailuropods will chamber in a concussive shell, which has a slower muzzle velocity, but can travel along surfaces and burst after a set distance, knocking around players in the blast radius.

As with most other enemies in Infinite Generation, Ailuropods will retaliate with a weak melee attack if approached, flipping the Dead Monochrome and smothering the player in its backblast.
