U4GM Grow A Garden Pets

The Red Giant Ant is a Mythical pet introduced in the Blood Moon Event Update. It is one of the rarest pets in the game, making it highly sought after by collectors and players focused on maximizing harvest efficiency.

It can be obtained by hatching the Mythical Egg, which has an 8.93% chance to produce a Red Giant Ant. The pet has 15,000 hunger, so it requires regular feeding to stay active and provide its benefits.

The Red Giant Ant is visually similar to the standard Giant Ant but features a vivid red exoskeleton. Its bright color makes it easily distinguishable from other ants and adds a striking visual element to your garden.

Abilities and Traits

The Red Giant Ant has a passive trait that significantly boosts harvesting efficiency:

  • 5% chance to duplicate harvested crops
  • Lower chance for rarer crops
  • Additional 5% chance for fruit-type crops

This makes the Red Giant Ant particularly useful when harvesting valuable or high-yield crops. For example, if you are growing rare fruits, the Red Giant Ant increases your chances of obtaining extra harvests without additional effort.
