Red Giant Ant is a powerful Mythical pet introduced in Grow a Garden Roblox during the Blood Moon update on May 17, 2025 (Patch 1.06.0).
Unlike most pets that boost EXP or mobility, this one focuses on efficiency—specifically, increasing the amount of crops you collect from every harvest.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to unlock the Red Giant Ant and why it’s one of the best picks for farming-focused players.
What is Red Giant Ant in Grow a Garden?
Red Giant Ant is a red-colored variant of the standard Giant Ant pet, but with significantly upgraded abilities.
As part of the Mythical tier, it’s one of the rarest pets available in the game, and it brings a unique utility to your farm: the ability to duplicate crops passively.
With high hunger capacity and a focus on fruit farming, this pet is tailored for players who want to maximize harvest output.
Red Giant Ant Passive Ability
The Red Giant Ant comes with one of the best farming traits currently available:
- 5% chance to duplicate any crop you harvest
- +5% extra chance for fruits specifically (total 10%)
- Reduced effectiveness for rare crops
This means that while planting normal crops, you’ll often gain bonus yield.
If you’re harvesting fruits like Pineapple or Golden Melon, the additional 10% can quickly turn into massive profits.
How to Get Red Giant Ant
To get the Red Giant Ant, you’ll need to hatch it from a Mythical Egg.
Steps:
- Go to the Pet Egg Stall, located beside the Gear Shop.
- Wait for the shop to stock Mythical Eggs (refresh every 30 minutes).
- Purchase a Mythical Egg for 8,000,000 Sheckles.
- Hatch and hope to roll the Red Giant Ant.
Hatch Chance:
- Red Giant Ant has a drop rate of 8.93%, which is relatively high compared to other Mythical pets like Red Fox (1.79%).
Because of this, many players see Red Giant Ant as a more achievable early Mythical pet goal.
Why Red Giant Ant is Ideal for Farming
Farming in Grow a Garden is all about efficiency—planting the best crops, using strong gear, and harvesting at the right time.
Red Giant Ant fits perfectly into this formula by:
- Increasing total harvest yield without extra planting
- Making fruit farming more rewarding with extra 10% duplication rate
- Providing passive growth that works in the background while you play
If you’re looking to generate more profits or stockpile valuable crops, this pet is a smart investment.
How It Compares to Other Mythical Pets
Unlike Red Fox, which focuses on PvP-oriented stealing, Red Giant Ant boosts your own garden directly.
It doesn’t rely on enemy activity and works consistently with every harvest.
If you’re not interested in seed stealing or burst crits, Red Giant Ant offers a reliable alternative with steady farming value.
Tips for Using Red Giant Ant Effectively
- Focus on planting fruits to make the most of the 10% boost.
- Use alongside coin or crop multipliers to amplify returns.
- Activate crop booster tools before harvesting for compounding effects.
- Combine with farming gear that enhances harvest speed.
Conclusion
Red Giant Ant is a highly effective farming pet in Grow a Garden Roblox.
With its above-average drop rate and powerful passive for crop duplication—especially for fruits—it becomes a practical choice for players looking to boost their income without constantly grinding.
If you want a Mythical pet that brings long-term value to your gameplay, this ant deserves a place in your farm.
