The Haunted Knight in Grow a Garden is a Prismatic pet introduced during the Halloween Event 2026, starting from October 17, 2026. This pet stands out as the rarest one available from the Haunted Egg, boasting a hatch chance of only 0.5%. With its passive ability, Reins of Destruction, it interacts uniquely with Nightmare pets, resetting their age and adding the Haunted mutation, which is perfect for players who are after special mutations.
Here’s what you need to know about the Haunted Knight, from its rarity and abilities to how you can get one for yourself in Grow a Garden.
What does the Haunted Knight do in Grow a Garden?
The Haunted Knight features a passive ability known as Reins of Destruction, which gets triggered approximately every 40 minutes and 44 seconds. When activated, it targets a random Nightmare pet that has reached age 300.
This ability resets the selected Nightmare pet’s age back to 31 and applies the Haunted mutation. There’s also a rare chance of around 2% to apply the Everhaunted mutation instead, making the Haunted Knight an appealing choice for mutation collectors.
The reset of age is significant; while it’s an excellent opportunity for mutations, you’ll lose valuable time on your Nightmare pets, so keep that in mind.
How to get the Haunted Knight in Grow a Garden
You can obtain the Haunted Knight in two main ways: by hatching it from a Haunted Egg or purchasing it from the Frightening Fauna Shop when it’s available.
Haunted Egg
Inside the Haunted Egg, the Haunted Knight comes with an extremely rare 0.5% hatch chance. To acquire this egg, you need to participate in the Halloween Event 2026’s Witches Brew rewards. You’ll contribute Halloween fruits or fruits with Halloween mutations to the event cauldron to earn points. Just a heads-up: higher-tier fruits yield more points, and once the cauldron is filled, there’s a two-minute cooldown before you can contribute again.
As you participate, you’ll get a chance at receiving various rewards from the Witches Brew, including the Haunted Egg, which has a 16.67% chance of being among those rewards.
After acquiring the egg, you must wait four hours for it to hatch. Keep your expectations in check; just because you have the Haunted Egg doesn’t guarantee you’ll hatch the Haunted Knight due to that low drop rate.
Frightening Fauna Shop
The other option is to purchase the Haunted Egg from the Frightening Fauna Shop for 1,500 Candy Corn. Availability varies, so if it’s not in stock, your best bet is to either wait for it to return or try your luck with the Witches Brew rewards again.
Keep in mind that buying the egg doesn’t guarantee the Haunted Knight either. You’ll still need to hatch it and contend with that same 0.5% hatch chance.
