Don’t wait until the last minute to join the game.
Expected Abilities
While the exact stats aren’t confirmed yet, we can make guesses based on other owl pets in the game. The regular Owl, Night Owl, and Blood Owl all share the same core ability – they boost XP gain for other pets in your garden.
Here’s how the owl family typically works:
- Basic Owl: Small XP boost for other pets
- Night Owl: Medium XP boost
- Blood Owl: Large XP boost
The Cooked Owl will likely follow this pattern!
What Happens If You Miss It?
Unfortunately, if you miss the Cooked Owl giveaway, there’s no other way to get it. Unlike regular pets that you can find in eggs or buy from shops, limited-time event pets never return. The developers have been consistent about this – once these special events end, the pets become permanently unavailable. This exclusivity is part of what makes these pets so valuable.
Is the Cooked Owl Worth Getting?
Absolutely. Even if you’re not sure about its abilities yet, this pet is definitely worth claiming. For collectors, this pet will never be available again, and limited-time pets in Grow a Garden become incredibly valuable over time. Just look at how many players are willing to trade for the Chicken Zombie now. From a gameplay perspective, if it follows the owl pattern, it’ll likely be one of the strongest XP boosters in the game, which makes it useful for leveling up your entire collection faster.
The best part? It costs you nothing but a few minutes of your time. There’s literally no downside to claiming it, but there’s a huge downside to missing out!
