Cheetah Pet in Grow A Garden: Value, Buy, How to get

The Cheetah is one of those pets you notice right away—fast, bright, and made for players who enjoy speed-based boosts. Added during the Smithing Event, this Legendary pet brings both style and function, especially if you care about mutation farming. Let's break down what it does, how to get it, and whether it's worth adding to your garden setup.

Appearance

The Cheetah pet has a strong blocky style—bright yellow body, darker spots, white belly, and a smooth striped tail. Its head has a friendly, slightly rounded shape, with big pixel-style eyes and a small black nose. The brown paws and ears give it an extra warm look. Overall, it looks fast even when standing still, which fits perfectly with its ability theme.

It definitely stands out in a lineup, especially compared to calmer or smaller pets.

How to Get the Cheetah Pet

There are two main ways players can obtain the Cheetah:

1. Crafting (Smithing Event)

During the Smithing Event, you can craft the Cheetah using:

• 1× Orange Tabby
• 2× Legendary Coal
• 8,500,000 Sheckle

This makes the Cheetah slightly harder to get than average Legendary pets. The Legendary Coal requirement is the main bottleneck for most players.

2. Buying It Online (U4GM)

If you don't want to grind for materials:

• Price: $1.99

Buy Grow A Garden Cheetah Pet from U4GM. This is one of the cheaper Legendary pets available through online purchase, especially considering its passive ability.

What Does the Cheetah Actually Do?

Passive Skill: Master of Faster

This is the main reason people chase the Cheetah.

• Occasionally transforms you into a cheetah
• During this form, harvested fruit has a chance to trigger the Wildfast mutation
• Great for players who farm rare mutations or want speed-based boosts

Hunger: 1500

The Cheetah has mid-high hunger capacity, so it stays active longer before needing food.

Value & Rarity

• Tier: Legendary
• Market price (U4GM): $1.99
• Crafting difficulty: Medium-high (Legendary Coal is the choke point)
• Event status: Limited-time craft during the Smithing Event

Because it's:

• event-related
• requires a Legendary pet (Orange Tabby)
• tied to a mutation-boosting passive

…its value is solid for a Legendary. It's not “Secret-tier high,” but definitely above average among craftable Legendaries.

For players who care about mutation farming, its value jumps even higher.

Should You Buy the Cheetah?

If you don't like grinding event materials, the $1.99 price is honestly very low for what it gives. Compared to many other Legendaries, it's budget-friendly.

If you enjoy crafting and already have Orange Tabby + Legendary Coal, crafting it is also a good option.

Is the Cheetah Worth Using?

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: 
The Cheetah is especially strong for players who want:

• Faster harvesting moments
• A chance at Wildfast mutations
• A stylish pet that fits speed-focused builds

It's not the most “all-purpose” pet in the game, but for farming rare fruits or mutation hunting, it's excellent. Even casual players get value from the extra movement speed and fun transformation effect.

Summary

The Cheetah is a Legendary pet introduced during the Smithing Event. You can craft it using an Orange Tabby, Legendary Coal ×2, and 8.5M Sheckle, or simply buy it online for $1.99. Its passive, Master of Faster, sometimes transforms you into a cheetah and gives you a chance to get the Wildfast mutation when harvesting. With its fair price, good utility, and clean design, it's a solid pick for players who enjoy speed boosts or want a better shot at mutation farming.
