Very low hatching probability: With a 1% hatching probability, it is one of the extremely rare pets.

Rarity and value

• Ability stacking: If you have a rare pet (such as a pet that speeds up harvesting), Mimic Octopus can copy its ability to double the benefits.
• Skill restrictions: If the copied pet has two abilities, Mimic Octopus will only execute the first one; the skill cooldown of the copied pet will not be affected.
• Strategic usage: You can achieve efficient stacking of specific abilities by carrying only Mimic Octopus and another target pet, such as quickly brushing golden plants.

Special Features - Bucket Collection

Bucket Collection: Players can use buckets to collect Mimic Octopus and obtain a Bucket of Mimic Octopus.

Trivia

• Although Mimic Octopus is an octopus, it only has six tentacles.

• It is currently one of the most diverse and strategic pets, suitable for a variety of gameplay and combinations.

Setting Up for the Mimic Octopus Hatch

Want to boost the chance of cracking a Mimic Octopus from a Paradise Egg? Use Kiwi pets, with the Blood Kiwi at the top of the list. These feathered friends serve a few key purposes: they speed up hatch speed and chop off hatch time. By stocking up on Kiwi pets and playing to their strengths, you can shave minutes off the timer and raise the odds of pulling these one-of-a-kind pets.

Why the Mimic Octopus Is a Game-Changer

The Mimic Octopus steals the show for one simple reason: it can copy any ability from pets already hanging out in your garden.

That means it can hard-carry any task you set it to. Picture this:

• If a raccoon is rummaging around, the Mimic Octopus can suddenly become a miniature raccoon, swiping plants with a flick of a tentacle.
• If you're hoarding gold plants and the dragonfly is zipping around, the Mimic Octopus can borrow the dragonfly's gold-plant farming moves and start farming coins of its own.

How to Use It Wisely

For the Mimic Octopus to be at its best:

• Pair it with just one other pet. This locks in the ability you want it to copy, making sure it doesn't munch its way through any other tricks in your garden.
• Use the Mimic Octopus wisely for small, focused tasks. If you're farming gold plants, for instance, team it up with a dragonfly pet. This combo is the best way to bulk up your harvest.
• Remember, the Mimic Octopus has a limit. It can copy the mimic feature of a pet but can't copy another Octopus. Stacking Octopuses won't stack the mimic effect, so don't waste space.
