The Arctic Fox is a mythical pet in Roblox Grow A Garden. It was added on December 6, 2025, during the Christmas Harvest Event. Most players recognize it as a Season Pass pet, since it becomes available after reaching level 40 on the pass.

In general, the Arctic Fox is not a beginner pet. It is designed for players who already have a stable garden, a wide variety of crops, and enough resources to handle its passive effect without hurting progress.

How Do You Get the Arctic Fox?

Is the Arctic Fox obtainable?

Yes, the Arctic Fox is obtainable, but only through the Season Pass. You must reach level 40 to unlock it. There is no alternative method like eggs, trading, or shop purchases.

Most players unlock it near the end of a season, so it usually goes to players who log in consistently and complete daily or weekly tasks.

Can it be obtained later?

As of now, the Arctic Fox is marked as obtainable, but only during its Season Pass availability. In general, Season Pass pets may return in future events, but there is no guarantee. Most players assume you should unlock it during the event if you want it.

What Does the Arctic Fox Look Like?

The Arctic Fox uses the same model as the Red Fox. The only difference is its white coloring, which fits the winter theme.

There are two visual variants:

Normal

Rainbow

The appearance is simple and familiar, so most players focus more on its ability than its looks.

What Is the Arctic Fox’s Passive Ability?

What does Arctic Scoundrel do?

The Arctic Fox’s passive ability is called Arctic Scoundrel. Every 24:14 to 11:40 minutes, it:

Steals 24 random unique fruit from your garden

Restocks the seed shop

There are some important limitations:

It ignores favorited fruit

It cannot be mimicked

It cannot be refreshed

This makes it very different from some other shop-related pets.

How Does Arctic Scoundrel Work in Practice?

In practice, the Arctic Fox behaves like a controlled thief. It will remove fruit from your garden automatically, without asking, as long as the fruit is not favorited.

Most players notice that:

It only steals unique fruit, not duplicates of the same type

It does not target seeds, tools, or decorations

The stolen fruit disappears completely

The benefit comes from the seed shop restock. For players who rely heavily on checking the shop for rare seeds, this can save time.

Does the Arctic Fox Steal Valuable Crops?

Usually, yes—unless you prepare your garden correctly.

If you do not favorite your high-value fruit, the Arctic Fox can steal them. This is why most players only use the Arctic Fox after:

Favoriting all rare or event fruit

Keeping extra common fruit available

In general, players who ignore this step lose more value than they gain.

Is the Seed Shop Restock Worth It?

That depends on how you play.

When the restock is useful

Most players find the restock useful when:

Hunting for specific seeds

Playing actively and checking the shop often

Running large farms that need frequent reseeding

When it is not useful

The restock is less helpful if:

You already stockpile seeds

You play casually

You rely more on trading or events

Because the ability cannot be refreshed or mimicked, you cannot force extra restocks.

Can the Arctic Fox Ability Be Boosted?

No. The Arctic Fox was nerfed, and its ability can no longer be:

Mimicked

Refreshed

Triggered manually

This makes it predictable but limited. In general, players treat it as a passive convenience pet, not a strategy-defining one.

How Does the Arctic Fox Compare to Similar Pets?

Compared to Red Panda and Bearded Dragon

These pets also interact with shops, but their effects are usually more controllable. The Arctic Fox trades control for automation.

Most players prefer Red Panda or Bearded Dragon if they want reliability.

Compared to stealing pets like Raccoon or Kitsune

The Arctic Fox steals fruit, but in a more restricted way. It ignores favorites and only takes unique fruit, which makes it safer than older stealing pets.

In general, the Arctic Fox is less aggressive but also less flexible.

How Much Hunger Does the Arctic Fox Have?

The Arctic Fox has a hunger value of 35,000, which is relatively high.

This means:

You need a steady food supply

It is not ideal for early-game players

It fits better into established farms

Most players pair it with food-efficient pets or automated feeding setups.

Is the Arctic Fox Good for Mid-Game or Late-Game Players?

The Arctic Fox is mostly a late-game pet.

Mid-game players often struggle with:

Losing too many useful fruit

Managing hunger costs

Not needing frequent shop restocks

Late-game players, in general, have enough surplus fruit that the stealing becomes a minor inconvenience instead of a loss.

Should You Use the Arctic Fox All the Time?

Usually, no.

Most experienced players:

Equip the Arctic Fox temporarily

Use it during seed-hunting sessions

Unequip it when farming valuable crops

Leaving it active all the time often leads to unnecessary losses.

Common Mistakes Players Make With the Arctic Fox

Forgetting to favorite rare fruit

Using it early in progression

Expecting it to refresh other pets

Assuming it steals duplicates

Ignoring hunger management

In general, these mistakes make the Arctic Fox feel worse than it actually is.

Is the Arctic Fox Worth Unlocking?

If you already plan to complete the Season Pass, then yes, it is worth unlocking. It adds flexibility and convenience for certain playstyles.

However, it is not a must-have pet. Most players can progress normally without it.

Some players even keep it unequipped most of the time and only bring it out when needed.

How Does the Arctic Fox Fit Into the Game Economy?

The Arctic Fox indirectly affects seed availability by refreshing the shop. This can increase access to certain seeds, which matters for players tracking market trends, collecting rare plants, or monitoring grow a garden items for sale across player discussions and trading circles.

It does not directly generate profit, but it influences access.

The Arctic Fox is a niche mythical pet. It rewards preparation and punishes carelessness. Most players who understand its limits find it useful in short bursts, while those who expect constant value are often disappointed.
