How to Get Cockatrice in Grow a Garden
The Cockatrice is a Divine-tier pet introduced during the Fairy Event in Grow a Garden. It is one of the most sought-after pets due to its powerful mutation abilities, egg acceleration effects, and pet XP boost mechanics. Obtained from the Enchanted Egg, the Cockatrice not only looks stunning but also provides immense utility for players focused on farming efficiency and rare fruit mutations.
The Cockatrice is a mythical-looking creature combining rooster and dragon elements:
- Body & Feathers: Brown base color with a green underbelly.
- Wings: Large, green, dragon-like wings.
- Head: Rooster-like, with a yellow beak and a red comb on top.
- Neck & Back: A yellow segment around the neck, and a black ridge running down the back.
- Legs: Transition from brown feathers to blue before turning into yellow talons with three claws.
- Tail: A green dragon’s tail with black spikes.
The design draws inspiration from the mythical Cockatrice, a wyvern with the head of a rooster, feared in medieval lore for its petrifying gaze.
