The Stag Beetle is a limited, Legendary pet that was introduced during the Safari Harvest Event. It stands out not only for its distinct appearance but also for its unique passive ability, which lets it battle other players' beetles for special rewards. For players who enjoy collection, trading, or competition, this pet quickly became one of the favorites of Season 2.

The Stag Beetle has a sturdy, blocky build that resembles a real-world stag beetle, but in a simplified, playful Grow A Garden style.
Its body is primarily dark red, while the head, horn-like mandibles, and legs are black, giving it a strong contrast and a tough, armored look.

Some Stag Beetles can mutate into special variants. One confirmed mutation is shown below.
