Rainbow Pets
One of the biggest eye-catchers in the update is the appearance of Rainbow Pets. These pets change colors in real-time and might be tied to mutations or ultra-rare drops. The exact function isn’t confirmed, but if you see one, hold on to it—it’s likely a collector’s item or high-value trade.
Mysterious Crates
These crates are lootboxes with random surprises. One crate preview revealed a Chocolate Sprinkler, which might:
Water nearby plants
Boost candy blossom yield
Be purely decorative
Expect Candy Blossoms, decorations, or even rare items to appear here.
Meteor Showers & Starfall Events
During the Blood Moon event, new sky effects like meteor showers and starfalls can occur. These seem to be linked with:
Star Caller item
Bonus drops
Cosmic mutations (like the glowing mutation shown in the video)
If your plant gets a mutation during this event, it could massively boost sell value.
Garden Decorations – New Additions
Grow a Garden now lets you decorate your garden even more with:
- Frog Statues
- Keep Outside Signs
- Garden Lights
This opens up two playstyles:
- Aesthetic gardens – Beautiful, custom-decorated layouts.
- Profit-maximizing gardens – Stacked with Candy Blossoms to farm money fast.
How to Get the Free Chicken Zombie Pet
This pet is FREE but tied to a community milestone:
- When the game reaches 2.5–3 million concurrent players, everyone online will get the Chicken Zombie Pet.
- Unknown Passive: Likely not overpowered since it’s free for all, but still a great reward to collect.
To get it:
- Be online during update launch or the milestone announcement.
