The Blood Owl is a Divine-tier pet that was introduced during the Blood Moon Event update (Update 1.06.0). This pet quickly gained popularity for its striking appearance, powerful XP-boosting abilities, and its role in special event content.
Although it is no longer obtainable, players who managed to purchase it during its release still enjoy one of the most unique pets in the game.
How to Obtain the Blood Owl
Originally, the Blood Owl could be purchased in the Blood Moon Shop for Sheckle 60,000,000. Due to the high cost, only the most dedicated players or those who had been saving resources were able to afford it during the event.
Unfortunately, the Blood Owl is now unobtainable outside of its original event, making it a prized collector’s item. If you see one in action today, it means the player has been around since the May 17, 2025 event date.
Whether you are a longtime player or just starting your journey, collecting rare pets is one of the most exciting parts of the game. While the Blood Owl may no longer be obtainable, there are still many powerful and unique companions waiting for you. If you want to strengthen your team and experience new abilities, don’t miss the chance to buy Grow A Garden pets and build the ultimate collection.
The Blood Owl shares its base model with the standard Owl, but it features a distinctive recolor to match the Blood Moon theme. Its feathers are shaded in varying hues of deep and bright red, making it stand out dramatically compared to other pets.
It is one of four owl-type pets in Grow a Garden:
- Owl – The base version.
- Night Owl – A darker variant.
- Cooked Owl – A humorous, food-themed version.
- Blood Owl – The rarest and most powerful variant.
The combination of its divine tier status and its unique recolor makes the Blood Owl one of the most visually iconic pets in the game.
Traits and Abilities
The Blood Owl’s main feature is its XP-boosting passive ability, which benefits all active pets in the player’s roster. This makes it extremely useful for players looking to level up their pets more efficiently.
- Passive Effect:
All active pets gain (0.08 × Weight + 0.5) XP per second.- The bonus scales with pet weight, meaning heavier pets benefit more.
- Stacking with Items:
- Medium Treat and Small Treat can stack with the Blood Owl’s passive, increasing the XP multiplier up to ~3.6×.
- Medium Toy provides an additional +0.1 XP/sec.
- Small Toy provides an additional +0.05 XP/sec.
- Historical Note:
Before Nihonzaru’s ability was removed, the maximum buff gain from combining it with the Blood Owl was +0.48 XP per second, making for extremely rapid pet growth. - Bugged Ability:
The Blood Owl also came with an unusual ability on an 8-second cooldown. Originally, this ability did nothing except determine whether the owl would fly or walk on the ground. Players treated this as a quirky bug, but the developers eventually corrected it in a later patch.
Like all pets in Grow a Garden, the Blood Owl requires regular feeding. It has a hunger stat of 50,000, which means it can last a long time without food compared to lower-tier pets. This high hunger capacity makes it easier to maintain, especially during extended gameplay sessions.
Trivia
- The Blood Owl was featured in the Admin Abuse mini-game event called Traffic Light.
- This event was based on Red Light, Green Light from popular culture.
- Instead of the usual Squid doll, the Blood Owl acted as the “judge” of movement.

- The Blood Owl’s recolor was inspired by the Blood Moon event theme, designed to embody mystery, danger, and divine rarity.
- It remains one of the few pets with a history of a non-functional ability, making it memorable even beyond its gameplay benefits.
