The Reaper Pet is one of the most unique and powerful divine pets in Grow a Garden, introduced during the limited-time Ghoul Garden Halloween event. This guide covers everything you need to know: from how to get the Reaper Pet, its stats, and a detailed breakdown of its powerful “Reap What You Sow” ability.
What is the Reaper Pet?
The Reaper Pet is a rare, Halloween-themed divine pet with a distinctive grim reaper appearance, complete with a dark hood and a scythe. It’s not a typical combat or harvesting pet; instead, it functions as a powerful support pet that automatically boosts your other pets, making it a highly sought-after asset for any serious player’s garden.
How to Get the Reaper Pet in Grow a Garden
Acquiring the Reaper Pet is tied exclusively to the Grow a Garden Halloween event. You cannot obtain it outside of this limited-time period.
Step 1: Farm Candy Corn
The Reaper Pet is purchased with Candy Corn, the event’s special currency. Here’s how to get it:
Witch’s Cauldron: Donate fruits from your garden to fill the progress bar. Each time you fill it, you will be rewarded with a random amount of 10 to 100 Candy Corn.
Ancient Jack O’ Lantern: This special object appears on the map every two hours. Feeding it your harvested crops will grant you additional Candy Corn.
Step 2: Visit the Creepy Critters Shop
Once you have enough Candy Corn, head to the Creepy Critters Shop, the special event shop for Halloween pets.
Reaper Pet Price: The pet costs 140 Candy Corn.
Alternative Price: You can also buy it for 519 Robux, skipping the Candy Corn grind.
Spawning Chance: The Reaper Pet has a 4.17% chance to appear in the shop’s rotation, so you may need to check back frequently.
Reaper Pet Stats & Ability Explained
Understanding the Reaper Pet’s mechanics is key to leveraging its power.
Hunger Stat: 67,000
Ability Name: Reap What You Sow
What Does “Reap What You Sow” Do?
This passive ability activates automatically every 12 to 22 minutes. Here’s how it works:
The Cost: The Reaper Pet will “reap” or sacrifice four fruits from your garden.
The Reward: After the sacrifice, it will grant one of two random boosts to a random pet in your garden:
Medium Passive Boost
Medium XP Boost
This makes the Reaper Pet an automated boosting machine. While you lose a few fruits periodically, the consistent passive and XP boosts it provides to your other pets significantly accelerate your overall progress.
Why is the Reaper Pet a Top-Tier Divine Pet?
The Reaper Pet’s value lies in its unique support role:
Hands-Off Progression: It works automatically, providing value even when you’re offline or focused on other tasks.
Team-Wide Buffs: By boosting your other pets, it indirectly increases your entire garden’s efficiency and power level.
Limited-Time Rarity: As an event-exclusive divine pet, it is a prestigious and powerful addition that may not be available again.
