How to Get or Buy the Scarab Pet in Grow A Garden

The Scarab is a limited, uncommon pet introduced in the third part of the Halloween Event in Grow A Garden. It's one of the event's signature insect-type companions, blending aesthetic appeal with practical in-game bonuses. While not as rare as the Tomb Marmot or Wereplant, the Scarab has become a fan favorite for players who enjoy themed collections or want an effective mid-tier growth booster for Spooky plants.

Appearance

The Scarab resembles a small, stylized beetle adorned with glowing orange markings that pulse softly in the dark. Its exoskeleton is a metallic bronze-black, and the intricate etching across its wings gives it a slightly mystical look—almost like an ancient artifact revived by Halloween magic. When it follows the player, faint sparkles trail behind it, emphasizing its supernatural nature without being overly flashy.

How to Get the Scarab Pet

The Scarab can be obtained through the Spooky Chest, which was added in the third phase of the Halloween Event. There are two versions of this chest: the standard Spooky Chest and the Exotic Spooky Chest. Both have an equal 34.5% drop chance for the Scarab, making it relatively accessible compared to other event pets.

Spooky Chest Drop Rates

Players can earn Spooky Chests by completing event missions, participating in limited-time minigames, or exchanging event tokens. The Exotic variant generally comes from higher-tier event challenges or premium spins, offering the same drop rate for the Scarab but slightly higher odds for ultra-rares like the Wereplant.

If you missed the Halloween Event or prefer a faster way to complete your collection, you can buy the Scarab pet at U4GM for around $3.99. It's a safe and convenient option for players who want to skip the RNG grind and instantly add this limited-time pet to their lineup. Considering its solid passive and event-limited nature, it's a worthwhile purchase for both collectors and growers alike.

Passive Ability: Spooky Scarab

Spooky Scarab (Passive): 
Spooky-type plants within 32–60 studs of the pet receive a 0.32–0.64× increased growth size multiplier.

This means the Scarab enhances yield efficiency and visual size for themed crops during the Halloween event. Its passive range and scaling multiplier make it especially useful in clustered or farm layouts where players cultivate multiple Spooky-type plants together.

Hunger: 2,000 
The Scarab's high hunger value means it remains active for extended sessions before needing feeding, a welcome trait for casual grinders.

Market Value and Analysis

• Tier: Uncommon
• U4GM Price: $3.99
• Event Availability: Limited (Halloween Event Part 3)

In terms of value, the Scarab occupies a balanced middle ground between affordable and functional. Its 34.5% drop chance places it among the more common event pets, but its consistent performance buff and clean Halloween aesthetic increase its desirability. At $3.99 on U4GM, it's priced fairly compared to ultra-rares that often exceed $7–10.

From a collector's standpoint, the Scarab's limited nature means its price could rise once the event ends. Functionally, it's an excellent pet for players specializing in event crops or those seeking a reliable early-to-mid-tier boost without spending premium currency on rarer pets.

Summary

The Scarab is a visually appealing and functionally efficient pet from Grow A Garden's Halloween Event. With a solid passive ability that enhances Spooky plant growth and a generous drop rate, it offers great value both for gameplay and collection purposes. Whether you're grinding event rewards or buying directly from marketplaces like U4GM, the Scarab stands out as a dependable and affordable option among limited pets.
