The Headless Horseman is a limited Prismatic Pet added to Grow a Garden during the Halloween Event on October 11, 2025. This haunting pet is one of the rarest creatures obtainable in the game, known for its eerie appearance and chaotic abilities.
Appearance
The Headless Horseman has a Jack-O-Lantern for a head and wears a dark coat with wings. It rides atop a black horse, glowing faintly with spectral energy — making it one of the most visually striking pets in the game.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your Halloween adventure, the Headless Horseman is a must-have addition to your pet collection. Keep an eye on the Grow a Garden Shop during special events, as it’s often the best place to find rare items like the Spooky Egg. With a bit of patience and some Candy Corn, you might just summon the Headless Horseman to ride alongside you in Grow a Garden!
Traits and Abilities
Every 20–40 minutes, the Headless Horseman will haunt a random level 25–50 pet that does not already have a mutation. When this happens, the chosen pet is reset to level 1 and receives one of four chaotic mutations.
Mutation Table
| Mutation | Chance | Ability Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dreadbound | Unknown | Gains an additional 6–30 XP per second. |
| Soulflame | Unknown | Provides a 60% XP boost per second. Every 5–15 minutes, a nearby fruit has a 20–30% chance to mutate with Burnt (lower chance for Flaming). |
| Spectral | Unknown | Increases the pet’s passive by 1.08×. |
| Nightmare | 6–12% | Increases the pet’s passive by 1.22× and enlarges its size by 125%. |
