Chubby Chipmunk
The Chubby Chipmunk serves as your gateway to the entire event. Every 1.38 minutes, it consumes a random fruit from your garden (ignoring favorited plants) and gains 0.023kg. After eating, an Acorn appears somewhere in your plot, containing random rewards when collected.

Farmer Chipmunk
The Farmer Chipmunk transforms any garden focused on nut-type plants. With its 1.5x growth acceleration for all nut varieties, you'll see dramatically faster harvest cycles and increased productivity.
This makes it particularly valuable for players running nut-heavy setups or those looking to optimize specific plant combinations. The 34.5% drop rate from Nutty Chests makes it one of the more accessible rare pets.
Hyrax
Every 4.56 minutes, the Hyrax performs an incredible transformation - it consumes a random fruit and converts it into a Fissure Berry seed. This unique ability essentially gives you free access to valuable seeds through fruit consumption.
