The Triceratops in Grow a Garden speeds up plant growth with its Tri-Horn passive. Here’s everything it does and how to get it.
The Triceratops is a Legendary pet introduced in the July 5, 2025, prehistoric update of Grow a Garden. It’s one of the most useful pets for passive farming, thanks to its unique plant-boosting ability. If you’re wondering what it does or if it’s worth using, here’s everything you need to know.
Triceratops Overview
| Info | Value |
|---|---|
| Tier | Legendary |
| Passive | Tri-Horn |
| Hunger | 40,000 |
| Obtainable? | Yes |
| How to Get | Dinosaur Egg (32.5% chance) or DNA Converter during the Prehistoric Event |
| Date Added | July 5, 2025 |
The Triceratops is obtainable either by hatching a Dinosaur Egg or through the DNA Converter during the limited-time Prehistoric Event. With a 32.5% drop chance from the egg, it’s not too hard to get, and the payoff is huge if you’re into idle or semi-AFK farming.
What Does the Triceratops Do?
Passive: Tri-Horn
The Triceratops has a powerful support ability called Tri-Horn, which makes it one of the best pets for crop progression.
Here’s how it works:
- Every 3 minutes and 33 seconds, it rams into 3 random plants.
- Each affected plant gets a +33 minutes and 33 seconds boost to its growth.
- There’s a 15.18% chance the passive will trigger again immediately, repeating the effect.
- This can chain multiple times, giving a massive advantage if the RNG is on your side.
It’s a great option for players who want faster growth on their long-duration crops without having to click or manage anything constantly.
Why Use the Triceratops?
If you’re managing a large garden or farming high-tier plants that take a long time to grow, the Triceratops is one of the best pets you can assign.
Best Use Cases
- Idle farming
- Offline progress
- Boosting rare or long-growth crops like Trees or Star plants
- Combining with other time-savers like automation or fertilizer
Since its passive can trigger multiple times in a row, you can sometimes get over two hours of progress applied to three plants in a single chain.
Appearance
The Triceratops stands out with its red body and three sharp gray horns, referencing its prehistoric roots. It has a rugged, scale-like texture and a heavy stomp as it moves around the garden. Its tail features pointed spikes, adding to its aggressive yet helpful vibe.
It’s also a visual reference to the classic Triceratops from Dinosaur Simulator, for players who are fans of that Roblox title.
Fun Trivia
- Everything comes in threes: 3 plants, 3:33 cooldown, 33:33 growth bonus.
- One of the few pets with a repeating-trigger passive, making it unpredictable but powerful.
- Its color scheme and design nod to the original Triceratops from Dinosaur Simulator.
- If paired with time-boosting gear or buffs, the Triceratops becomes a key part of any passive farming setup.
The Triceratops is more than just a cool-looking dinosaur. It’s one of the best support pets in Grow a Garden. Its Tri-Horn ability makes it a top-tier pick for boosting crop growth, especially when you’re not actively playing. While it may not be flashy in terms of damage or interaction, it more than makes up for it with utility.
If you’re farming during the Prehistoric Event or get your hands on a Dinosaur Egg, this is one Legendary pet worth keeping.
