Cunnus

"I'm getting exhausted. I can't give up...I must. I must. ....I can't do it."

- Cunnus as he tries to ascend into the cosmos with Kalos desperating holding on to his back

"Cunnus is a merciful fruit and would only kill plants when necessary. However, this plant has a massive hatred for zombies. This destructive Dragonfruit will devour, burn zombies until they are nothing but ash and prevent Zomboss's trickery and deceit"

- Cunnus' official description.

Cunnus is a main character in Plants vs Zombies: Sunken Pyramid. He is a Warlock character who deals massive amounts of damage, summons minions and strengthens allies, supporting his allies through strong will at the cost of his life essence. He is played by Tcglouis.

Pre-Sunken Pyramid
Cunnus Flamefruit had always been a kind, loving plant that tried to see from different perspectives. He never got into contact with his parents or relatives as they were hunted down. He only felt safe with his brother, Cyranus and his best friend, Zyra, an orphan as well. They lived in a mysterious planet for years.

After re-emerging from the depths of the universe, the Dark Matter Dragonfruits reunited on their home planet. However, the throne was empty and cold, having been unclaimed for over 200 years. There were two Dragons that had the best claims to the throne, Cunnus Flamefruit and his brother Cyranus Flamefruit. Cyranus Flamefruit was a cunning and manipulative plant and did anything to get his way.

Tensions rose before the newly formed Kingdom were embroiled in civil war. After months of fighting, the brothers decided to meet and discuss a stalemate. However, Cyranus betrayed Cunnus and captured him.

On the cold morning of his supposed execution, Cunnus escaped with the help of his lover, Zyra. They flew into the sky and attempted to flee to a neighbouring planet. However, Cyranus shot them both in flight. Cunnus escaped his brother's grasp and crashed into Earth, seeking vengeance believing that the only one that ever truly loved him had perished.

Post-Sunken Pyramid
After escaping supposed execution, Cunnus crashed into the airship of the Sunked Pyramid adventurers as they encountered Commodore Shallowgraves. The Dragonfruit was wounded severely and required medical assistance. For the healing the adventurers gave him, Cunnus repaid them as he aided in Shallowgrave's downfall.

Initially, Cunnus refused to spoke to the plant adventurers unless necessary and would threaten plants that came too close. He has supported the plant adventurers as he occasionally empowered them with Dark Matter energy. Kalos has learned bits and pieces of his past as Cunnus conversed with him. He has attempted to devour Kalos once and tried to return into space but could not.

Later on, the Vengeful Dragonfruit decided to use his real powers and even a forbidden ability condemned by the other Dark Matter Dragonfruits for its sick nature.

Personality
Cunnus is extremely cynical of others and asocial due to his past betrayals. He shows no mercy against zombies and would kill plants if necessary. However, he would protect, strengthen and battle alongisde his allies. He is a seasoned war commander as he led his army in the 2nd Dark Matter Dragonfruit Civil War winning all his battles. He could get arrogant and stubborn at times.

Overall, this Dragonfruit is a loving plant with a massive heart and caring personality once the wall of cynicality has been broken.

Relations
Kalos

In their first encounter, Kalos jumped on Cunnus' head as a means of annoyance and the Dragonfruit has attempted to devour him as a result. Believing that Cunnus was hyponitised, Kalos attempts to mind control him and Cunnus fools him instead.

Kalos flew on Cunnus' back as they explored the area nearing Windegoo's Cave and was anxious the entire time. He also learns a bit of the Dragonfruit's backstory

Yappat

Yappat has borrowed Cunnus' abilities before and had cooperated in strengthening each other.
