The Lobster Thermidor is a Divine-tier pet in Grow a Garden, introduced on August 9, 2025 during the second half of the Cooking Event. Known for its high-value mutation abilities, this pet is one of the most desirable for experienced players. With a combination of Molten and Meteoric passive skills, Lobster Thermidor can significantly boost the value of nearby crops — making it a powerhouse for mutation farming.
Grow a Garden Lobster Thermidor Abilities
Lobster Thermidor comes with two powerful passive abilities that focus on producing rare, high-value crop mutations:
Molten Boiling Point – Every 300–900 seconds, has at least a 20% chance to mutate the nearest fruit into a Molten variant. Molten fruits sell for a much higher price than their base versions, making this ability a consistent income booster.
Meteoric Boiling Point – Every 500–1800 seconds, has at least a 10% chance to mutate the nearest fruit into a Meteoric variant. Meteoric fruits are even rarer and more valuable, making them perfect for both selling and high-tier cooking recipes.
With a hunger value of 50.505, Lobster Thermidor requires steady feeding to maintain peak efficiency.
Visual Design
True to its name, Lobster Thermidor resembles the famous seafood dish. It features a bright red-orange cooked lobster body, topped with a golden butter glaze, and a fan-shaped tail that blends into soft pinkish-red hues. This distinctive design makes it not only functional but also visually appealing for collectors.
How to Get Lobster Thermidor in Grow a Garden
Lobster Thermidor could be obtained from several sources during its availability period:
Culinarian Chest – 1% drop rate
Exotic Culinarian Chest – 1% drop rate
Rainbow Sack – 7% drop rate
Rat Connoisseur – As a possible cooking reward during the Kitchen Storm update
However, as of now, Lobster Thermidor is unobtainable, meaning only players who earned it during the event can own it.
Drop Rate and Rarity
Given its low drop rates (1% from chests) and event-limited availability, Lobster Thermidor ranks among the rarest pets in Grow a Garden. Its current unobtainable status only increases its value among the player base, especially for traders and mutation-focused farmers.
Why Lobster Thermidor is Worth Having
The combination of Molten and Meteoric mutations means this pet can produce multiple types of high-value crops over time. These mutations not only sell for large amounts of in-game currency but can also be used in premium cooking recipes to achieve higher-tier dishes and event rewards. If you own a Lobster Thermidor, feeding and protecting it should be a top priority.
