Is the Grow a Garden Dilophosaurus Pet the secret weapon your farm needs? Dropped in the July 2025 Pet Mutation Update, this dino is a game-changer, outshining pets like the Mimic Octopus and Queen Bee with its ability to supercharge your garden. GGGAMER.net dives into why the Dilophosaurus is a must-have, how to snag it, and the best ways to make bank with it. Ready to unleash this beast and stack Sheckles? Let’s get growing!
Why the Dilophosaurus Rules
The Grow a Garden Dilophosaurus Pet is a powerhouse. Every 30 minutes and 23 seconds, it spits venom that hits up to 4.02 random pets, slashing their ability cooldowns by 42.64 seconds or granting 738.77 XP. As it levels up, those numbers climb—think 50-second cooldown cuts and 900 XP at higher levels. This makes it a beast for boosting pets like Chicken Jockey or Disco Bee, doubling their ability triggers for faster crop mutations.
Compared to the Mimic Octopus (20-minute cooldown, copies one pet’s ability) or Queen Bee (23-minute cooldown, refreshes one pet), the Dilophosaurus affects multiple pets at once, making it a profit rocket. It’s like having a mini Capybara, but with more bite.
How to Get Your Dilophosaurus
Snagging the Grow a Garden Dilophosaurus Pet takes some grind but isn’t impossible. You’ve got two main paths:
- Craft Premium Primal Eggs: Combine a Dino Egg (Common Egg + Bone Blossom + 5.5M Sheckles) at the Pet Machine (upgraded to level 4 with 200-300kg of Prehistoric Fruit). Each egg has a 3% chance to hatch a Dilophosaurus.
- DNA Machine: Max out the DNA Machine (400-500kg Prehistoric Fruit) to trade common pets (like Moths) for up to four Primal Eggs every 24 minutes. It’s faster but rng-heavy—sometimes you’ll get eggs, sometimes duds.
Pro tip: Set up a macro to auto-feed common pets to the DNA Machine while you sleep. It’s a grind, but landing even one Dilophosaurus is worth it.
Maximizing Profits with Your Dino
The Grow a Garden Dilophosaurus Pet shines when paired with high-value pets. Run it with two Chicken Jockeys (20% chance every 25 minutes to zombify crops) and six Dilophosaurs. Each Dilophosaurus cuts 42.64 seconds off cooldowns, letting Chicken Jockeys trigger twice as fast—think zombified crops in half the time. This stacks mutations like Wet or Shocked for insane Sheckle gains.
In public servers, place your Dilophosaurus near a Rainbow Dragonfly to spread mutations to stolen crops like Burning Buds. The venom’s multi-pet effect can also stack on the same pet, potentially quadrupling ability speed. It’s a profit machine for AFK farming.
Dilophosaurus vs. Other Pets
Why does the Grow a Garden Dilophosaurus Pet dunk on the competition? Unlike the Mimic Octopus, which mimics one pet every 20 minutes, or the Queen Bee, which refreshes one pet every 23 minutes, the Dilophosaurus boosts up to four pets at once. It’s not as passive-heavy as the Capybara (3.4 XP/s), but its cooldown reduction makes it a killer alternative for active farmers.
Reddit chatter calls it “sneaky OP,” with players reporting 2x faster crop cycles when paired with ability-heavy pets. The only catch? Its 3% hatch rate means you’ll need luck or a fat stack of Primal Eggs. But once you’ve got it, your garden’s a cash cow.
Unleash Your Dino Army
The Grow a Garden Dilophosaurus Pet is a hidden gem nobody’s hyping enough. Its venom-spitting, cooldown-slashing chaos makes it a top-tier pick for serious farmers. Pair it with the right pets, grind those Primal Eggs, and watch your Sheckles soar. Got a Dilophosaurus flex or a pro tip? Drop it below and let’s build the ultimate Grow a Garden empire!
