The Iguana is a Legendary-rarity Pet in Grow a Garden, obtainable only from the Jungle Egg.
Its ability revolves around Mutation control, making it one of the most strategic Pets for players who love optimizing high-value Fruits and stacking advanced Mutation chains.
Even though it doesn’t boost profit directly like some Safari or Event Pets, the Iguana plays a huge behind-the-scenes role in shaping how your Fruits evolve over time.
This guide explains exactly what the Iguana does, how its ability works, how to get it, and why it matters.
Breaking Down the Iguana in Grow a Garden
Ability
The Iguana’s special ability activates once every minute, and when it does, it automatically transforms any Frozen Mutation on your Fruits into either:
- Wet Mutation
- Chilled Mutation
This happens passively and does not target or affect your favorited plants, so your protected species remain untouched.
Why this ability matters
At first glance, replacing Frozen with Wet or Chilled may not sound impressive. But in Grow a Garden’s Mutation system, this single change opens up an entire chain of powerful Mutation outcomes.
Frozen Mutation often blocks or slows down certain Mutation paths. The Iguana removes this bottleneck automatically, allowing you to:
Unlock better Mutation combinations
Wet Mutation is used in the creation of Clay, Ceramic, Bloodlit, and other high-value Mutation trees.
Avoid unwanted Frozen Mutations
If you’re building a mutation-stacked Fruit, Frozen can ruin the chain. Iguana prevents that.
Improve consistency in Mutation farming
Its timed ability ensures that every minute, your Mutation ecosystem gets pushed in the right direction.
If your gameplay style revolves around gradual optimization, Mutation stacking, or experimenting with advanced Fruit builds, the Iguana becomes incredibly valuable.
