The Hex Serpent is a Divine-tier pet introduced in the second part of the Halloween Event update on October 18, 2025. It’s one of five pets added in the Ghoul Garden expansion and features powerful magical abilities tied to special ritual mechanics.
Appearance
The Hex Serpent is a black and red recolored version of the Sand Snake, adorned with a yellow crown and glowing yellow eyes. Its design emphasizes a dark ritualistic theme fitting the Halloween event.
How to Get the Hex Serpent
Obtaining the Hex Serpent is not as simple as buying it from the Pet Eggs Stall or Creepy Critters Shop. Instead, it’s a rare treasure that can be obtained through the Grave Digger’s Treasures minigame.
- Every two hours, the Gravedigger NPC appears near the center of the island.
- Interact with the NPC to dig for treasures such as coffins or jack-o-lanterns.
- Among these treasures, the Hex Serpent has only a 2.33% chance of being a reward.
The Hex Serpent remains one of the most mysterious and rewarding pets in Grow a Garden. Whether you’re performing dark rituals in your Hex Circle or exploring the island for hidden treasures, this Divine companion brings both power and prestige to your collection. Keep an eye on future updates and visit the Grow a Garden Store regularly — you never know when new magical items or cosmetics might appear to enhance your ritual garden even further.
