If you’ve been playing Grow A Garden for a while, you might have heard about the Crocodile, a mythical pet introduced in the Mega Safari Harvest Event. In this guide, I’ll break down everything you need to know about this pet, from its abilities to how to get it, and how it performs in the game.

What is the Crocodile Pet?

The Crocodile is a mythical-tier pet in Grow A Garden. Most players consider mythical pets among the strongest in the game due to their unique traits and high bonuses. The Crocodile stands out because of its passive ability called Croc Roll, which affects both plants and other pets.

In general, the Crocodile has a forest-green body with a tan underbelly, dark green scales along its back, and stubby legs with darker green feet. Its appearance fits the safari and jungle theme, which matches the event it was introduced in.

How Can You Obtain the Crocodile?

The Crocodile is available through the Safari Shop. Players can purchase it using Sheckle or Robux. Specifically:

  • Sheckle price: 800,000,000

  • Robux price: 699 (with the 2019 Logo Black bundle)

Most players choose the Sheckle method if they have saved up enough in-game currency, while those who prefer direct purchase often go with Robux. It was added to the game on November 8th, 2025, during the Mega Safari Harvest Event, and remains obtainable.

If you’re looking for other pet options or related items, the Grow a Garden items store usually has a rotating selection of pets and consumables that players find useful during events.

What Makes the Crocodile Special?

The Crocodile’s main appeal is its Croc Roll passive trait. Here’s how it works in practice:

  • Croc Roll: Every 20 to 10 minutes, the Crocodile will bite a random plant or pet and perform a rolling action.

  • Effect on plants: Plants affected by Croc Roll get a growth boost of 45–90 seconds per second, which is significant for players who focus on farming.

  • Effect on pets: Other pets gain 35–65 XP per second during the Croc Roll.

Most players find this useful in long farming sessions because it boosts both growth and experience automatically without additional actions. In general, if you have multiple pets in your garden, the Crocodile’s passive can help speed up progression noticeably.

How Much Hunger Does the Crocodile Need?

The Crocodile has a hunger value of 88,000, which is relatively high compared to other pets. Players usually need to manage feeding carefully to keep its Croc Roll active. Most players suggest feeding the Crocodile consistently, especially during longer farming sessions, to maximize its passive bonuses.

Practical Tips for Using the Crocodile

  1. Positioning: Since the Croc Roll targets random plants and pets, it’s generally recommended to have it in a central spot in your garden. That way, it can potentially affect as many plants and pets as possible.

  2. Timing: Croc Roll occurs roughly every 10–20 minutes and lasts between 30–50 seconds. If you log in during this period, you can see noticeable growth and XP increases.

  3. Combos: Pairing the Crocodile with other high-growth pets is usually effective. Many players combine it with pets that have plant- or XP-boosting traits to maximize output during its roll.

  4. Event Use: Since it was introduced in the Mega Safari Harvest Event, most players found it particularly strong for event-specific crops and pets. Even outside events, its bonuses remain useful for general progression.

Is the Crocodile Worth Getting?

For most players, yes—especially if you have the Sheckle or Robux available. Its mythical status ensures it provides unique bonuses, and the Croc Roll is both powerful and automatic. However, it is a high-investment pet. If your garden is smaller or you are just starting, you might prioritize other pets first and save for the Crocodile later.

Summary

The Crocodile is a mythical pet that offers substantial growth and XP bonuses through its Croc Roll ability. While it requires a large investment of Sheckle or Robux and a high hunger level, it can significantly improve garden efficiency when managed correctly. Its central placement in the garden and regular feeding make it an effective companion for both plants and pets. Most players consider it a worthwhile addition if they are aiming for faster growth and higher pet XP in Grow A Garden.
