What Is the Mummy Pet in Grow A Garden?
The Mummy is a Divine-tier pet in Roblox Grow A Garden. It was added during Part 3 of the Halloween Event on October 25th, 2025. Unlike many pets that focus on crop effects or timed abilities, the Mummy is mainly about improving pets you get from chests, not plants directly.
Most players consider the Mummy a long-term support pet. It does not change how your garden looks or works moment to moment. Instead, it quietly improves pet value behind the scenes, as long as certain conditions are met.
How Do You Obtain the Mummy?
The Mummy is no longer obtainable in the game.
When it was available, players could only get it from special Halloween chests:
Spooky Chest – 1% chance
Exotic Spooky Chest – 1% chance
Special Exotic Spooky Chest – 7% chance
In general, most players who own a Mummy got it during the event itself. Because of the low drop rates, even active event players often opened many chests before seeing one.
Since the event ended, there is currently no official way to obtain the Mummy again.
What Does the Mummy Look Like?
The Mummy has a clear Egyptian theme.
Wrapped in cloth like a traditional mummy
Glowing orange eyes
Gold shoulder pads
A gold belt
In general, it is easy to recognize compared to most other pets. The glowing eyes and gold details make it stand out, especially at night or in darker garden layouts.
What Is the Mummy’s Passive Ability?
The Mummy has a single passive ability called King’s Sarcophagus.
This ability does not work automatically. It only activates if a specific cosmetic is placed in your garden.
King’s Sarcophagus (How It Works)
As long as you have a Sarcophagus cosmetic placed in your garden:
Pets you get from chests have a chance to receive extra base weight
The bonus weight ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 KG
The total bonus is capped at 3.5 KG
This applies only to new pets obtained from chests, not pets you already own.
Most players use the Mummy when they are opening many chests over time, especially higher-tier chests.
Do You Need More Than One Sarcophagus?
No.
Unlike some other pets with similar mechanics, the Mummy only requires one Sarcophagus cosmetic to activate the ability. Once it is placed:
All active Mummies benefit
You do not need multiple Sarcophagi
You do not need to replace or refresh it
This makes the setup fairly simple once you have the cosmetic.
Where Do You Get the Sarcophagus Cosmetic?
The Sarcophagus cosmetic is obtained from the Rare Cosmetics Merchant.
Most players check this merchant regularly, since the stock rotates. The cosmetic is not guaranteed to appear, so some waiting is usually involved.
If the Sarcophagus is not placed in your garden, the Mummy’s ability does nothing at all.
How Useful Is Extra Base Weight on Pets?
Extra base weight matters mostly for pet value and progression, not visuals.
In practice:
Heavier pets usually scale better
Some systems favor higher base stats
Long-term players often care about small stat increases
For newer players, the effect may not feel noticeable at first. For experienced players opening hundreds of chests, the weight bonus adds up over time.
In general, the Mummy is more useful for players who already understand chest farming and pet optimization.
How Does the Mummy Compare to Similar Pets?
The Mummy is often compared to pets like Nihonzaru and Gorilla Chef, since they also interact with garden setups and bonuses.
Key differences:
The Mummy only needs one cosmetic
Other pets often require multiple placements
The Mummy affects pet acquisition, not crops
Most players see it as simpler but more narrow in purpose.
Was the Mummy Changed Before Release?
Yes.
Originally, the Mummy had a second ability that never made it into the final release.
That removed ability would:
Trigger every 21 minutes and 50 seconds
Move to the Sarcophagus cosmetic
Apply Gold to a nearby plant
Affect plants within 35.80 studs
Last 32.20 seconds
Not exceed 300 seconds of Gold duration per plant
This ability was fully removed before players could use it. As a result, the Mummy only has its chest-related passive today.
How Do Most Players Use the Mummy?
Most players use the Mummy in a passive setup:
Place the Sarcophagus once
Keep the Mummy active
Open chests normally during gameplay
There is no timing, clicking, or micromanagement involved.
Some players pair the Mummy with chest-opening sessions where they are also tracking resources, including coins. You may see discussions mentioning things like cheap grow a garden coins in community conversations, but the Mummy itself has no interaction with coins directly.
Is the Mummy Worth Using?
If you already own one, usually yes.
The Mummy is:
Low effort to maintain
Passive and consistent
Focused on long-term gains
However, it is not essential. Players without a Mummy can still progress normally. It does not unlock content or block progression.
In general, the Mummy is best seen as a quiet optimization pet, not a core gameplay feature.
