The biggest long-term earners are the mutation-boost pets: Golden Dragonfly (2× Gold chance) and Unicorn (2× Rainbow chance). For protecting a high-value plot at night, a defense pet like Ice Serpent or Black Dragon is close to essential. Early on, Deer is the best-value pick — 10% faster growth for a low price. Costs are in Sheckles and community-reported.

Yes — unlike many farming games, pets give real passive bonuses, not just cosmetics. A growth or mutation-boost pet pays for itself over time, and a defense pet protects high-value crops from night-time stealing.
