Grow a Garden has rolled out a major holiday update, and this one is special. For the first time ever, the game introduces Wendigo, the legendary deer inspired by the terrifying creature from 99 Nights in the Forest.
What started as a horror icon in another Roblox experience has now crossed into Grow a Garden as one of the rarest and most powerful pets ever added.
This winter exclusive update has quickly become one of the most talked about events in the Grow a Garden community.
Wendigo is not just a flex pet. It brings some of the strongest passive bonuses in the entire game, making it a must have for serious players.
In this guide, you will learn how to get Wendigo in Grow a Garden, what makes it special, and whether it is worth the grind.
What Is Wendigo in Grow a Garden
Wendigo is a Divine rarity pet added during the Christmas themed winter event. It is directly inspired by the iconic deer creature from 99 Nights in the Forest, which instantly explains why players are so excited about it.
Unlike most event pets that lose relevance after the event ends, Wendigo is designed as a long term support pet. Its passive abilities affect all your other pets, making farming, leveling, and maintenance far more efficient.
How to Get Wendigo in Grow a Garden
Wendigo is a winter exclusive pet, meaning it can only be obtained while the Christmas event is active.
There are two ways to get it, one free and grind heavy, and the other paid but faster.
Method 1 Getting Wendigo from Winter Eggs
The primary way to obtain Wendigo is through Winter Eggs, which are earned via the Christmas Tree event progression.
Step 1 Get the Christmas Tree Seed
After joining Grow a Garden during the event, go to the center area and claim the Christmas Tree seed.
Plant it in your plot.
Step 2 Grow the Christmas Tree
To grow the tree and progress the reward tiers, you need to use the Wonder Watering Can.
The heavier and more developed your tree becomes, the more rewards you unlock, including Winter Eggs.
Step 3 Get Wonder Watering Cans
Wonder Watering Cans are earned by submitting Christmas mutated plants at the event area.
For every 200 event points, you receive:
• 1 Wonder Watering Can
This makes farming Christmas mutations extremely important if you are going the free route.
Step 4 Hatch Winter Eggs
Winter Eggs contain multiple holiday pets, but Wendigo is the rarest of them all.
• Wendigo hatch rate: 0.5%
This means you will need a lot of Winter Eggs to realistically pull one through normal hatching.
Method 2 Buying Premium Winter Eggs
If you want a faster route, you can purchase Premium Winter Eggs from the in game shop using Robux.
Important detail:
• For every 100 Premium Winter Eggs hatched, you get a guaranteed Wendigo
This method removes RNG frustration but comes at a cost.
Grow a Garden Wendigo Abilities and Passive Traits
Wendigo is not valuable just because it is rare. Its passive ability is one of the strongest support effects in the game.
Wendigo Stats and Ability
Pet Name: Wendigo
Rarity: Divine
Hatch Rate: 0.5%
Passive Ability: Gnawing Hunger
• Wendigo loses 0.25% Hunger per second
• At 30%+ Hunger, all other pets gain +30.3 XP per second
• At 60%+ Hunger, all other pets stop losing Hunger
• At 90%+ Hunger, both bonuses activate together
This makes Wendigo a massive quality of life upgrade for long farming sessions.
Why Wendigo Is So Powerful
Most pets only boost themselves. Wendigo boosts everything else you own.
Once it crosses 30 percent Hunger, your pets level faster. At 60 percent, you no longer have to constantly manage Hunger decay for your entire team. At 90 percent, you get both benefits at once, turning Wendigo into a permanent efficiency engine.
This makes it one of the few pets that stays relevant even after the event ends.
Is Wendigo Worth Getting in Grow a Garden
Yes, if you care about long term progress.
Wendigo is not just a cosmetic flex. It actively improves leveling speed, reduces micromanagement, and makes large pet collections far easier to maintain.
The downside is the grind. A 0.5% hatch rate means free players will need patience, planning, and consistent event farming. Premium eggs speed things up, but they cost Robux, and the guaranteed Wendigo only comes after 100 hatches.
For casual players, the grind may feel heavy. But for dedicated players who farm daily, manage multiple pets, and want a support pet that stays useful beyond Christmas, Wendigo fully earns its reputation.
And let’s be honest, owning the 99 Nights in the Forest creature inside Grow a Garden is something people will remember.
