Why There’s a Cooked Owl in the First Place
The Cooked Owl isn’t just a random bird—it’s a meme turned into a reward, and the story behind it is pure internet gold.
Here’s what went down:
- Dev Jandel ran a Twilight event to help players use the last of the Twilight Shop.
- The Twilight Owl’s item selection was terrible—twice.
- As a joke (and revenge), Jandel threatened to “cook” the owl.
- During the Friendship update, he followed through—with a Cooked Owl on a grill cosmetic.
- Players were amused, but wanted a real pet.
- Jandel later posted a TikTok apology, promising to release a real Cooked Owl pet in the next update.
And here we are.
What We Know About the Cooked Owl Pet So Far
While the pet’s exact passive ability hasn’t been revealed, here’s what we know:
- Appearance: Tanned brown body, smoke coming out of its head, and bone feet.
- Source: Leaked images from the official Grow a Garden Discord.
- Classification: Expected to be an Event-Exclusive pet.
It may follow the mutation-boosting pattern of other limited pets like Chicken Zombie and Panda, but we’ll know more post-update.
What If You Miss the Drop?
