What Is the Corrupted Kitsune in Grow A Garden?

The Corrupted Kitsune is a prismatic pet in Roblox Grow A Garden. It was added on July 26, 2025, during the second part of the Zen Event. In general, prismatic pets are meant for late-game players, and the Corrupted Kitsune fits that role very clearly.

Most players recognize it as a stronger, mutation-focused version of the regular Kitsune. While it shares the same base model, it behaves differently in practice and fills a different role in most gardens.

The Corrupted Kitsune is no longer obtainable. If you did not get it during the Zen Event period, there is currently no way to unlock it again.

How Do You Get the Corrupted Kitsune?

The Corrupted Kitsune could only be obtained by hatching specific chests during the event.

Available Chests

Most players obtained it from one of these sources:

• Kitsune Chest (1% hatch chance)

• Exotic Kitsune Chest (1% hatch chance)

• Rainbow Sack (7% hatch chance for the rainbow version)

In general, the 1% chance made this pet noticeably rarer than many other event pets. Even players who opened a large number of chests usually did not see one quickly. This is why many gardens never had more than one Corrupted Kitsune active at a time.

Since the pet is unobtainable now, it mainly appears in older gardens or in player showcases.

What Does the Corrupted Kitsune Look Like?

The Corrupted Kitsune uses the same model as the regular Kitsune, but with inverted and altered colors. Most players notice the differences immediately when they see it in a garden.

Key appearance traits include:

• Nine tails instead of eight

• Black and blue body

• Black paws

• Blue stripes on the legs and tail ends

• Gray nose

• A mask-like facial marking, similar to the Kitsune and Raccoon

The rainbow variant is shown separately in the pet index. This is unusual, and in general, most pets do not have their rainbow versions listed apart from the main entry.

What Does the Corrupted Kitsune Actually Do?

The Corrupted Kitsune’s strength comes entirely from its passive ability, not from direct interaction or fruit stealing.

Nine-Tailed Curse Explained

The passive ability is called Nine-Tailed Curse.

Usually, every 21 minutes to 1 minute (depending on age), the Corrupted Kitsune launches cursed energy at 9 different fruits in your garden. Each targeted fruit has a chance to mutate.

The mutation chances are:

• 20–40% chance to gain Corrupted Chakra

• A very rare chance to gain Corrupted Foxfire Chakra

In practice, this means the pet is best used in gardens that already focus on high-value fruit setups. Most players place it near mature fruit patches rather than early-game crops.

How Strong Are the Mutations?

The Corrupted Kitsune mutations are some of the strongest in the game.

Base Multipliers

• Corrupted Chakra: 15x multiplier

• Corrupted Foxfire Chakra: 90x multiplier

These multipliers apply directly to the fruit’s value, which is why the pet is considered a late-game scaling tool rather than a general utility pet.

As the Corrupted Kitsune ages:

• Mutation chances increase

• Cooldown time decreases

Most players let it age naturally instead of resetting it, since its long-term value improves a lot over time.

How Does It Combine With the Regular Kitsune?

One of the main reasons players used the Corrupted Kitsune was its interaction with the regular Kitsune’s mutations.

When fruits affected by the Kitsune and Corrupted Kitsune overlap, they can mutate further.

Combined Mutations

• Harmonized Chakra: 35x multiplier

• Harmonized Foxfire Chakra: 190x multiplier

• Ascended Chakra (in specific combinations)

In general, these combinations require careful garden placement and patience. Most players did not aim for these mutations casually. Instead, they designed entire garden layouts around maximizing overlap windows.

If you are unfamiliar with mutation stacking, it usually helps to review crop mutation mechanics before trying to optimize this setup.

Does the Corrupted Kitsune Steal Fruit?

No. Unlike the regular Kitsune, the Corrupted Kitsune cannot steal fruit.

This makes it more predictable but also less flexible. In practice, this means:

• You do not need to worry about fruit disappearing

• You must rely entirely on mutation timing

• Placement matters more than interaction

Most players prefer this behavior when running high-value gardens, since stolen fruit can disrupt planned harvest cycles.

Hunger and Maintenance

The Corrupted Kitsune has a hunger value of 49,999, which is extremely high.

In general:

• You must plan feeding carefully

• Leaving it unfed for long periods reduces efficiency

• It is not suitable for early-game food management

Because of this, most players only used it once they had stable food production or excess resources. Some players looked for cheap grow a garden coins to support feeding costs during long mutation sessions, especially when maintaining multiple high-tier pets.

Is the Corrupted Kitsune Worth Using?

For most players, the answer depends on progression level.

It Is Worth Using If:

• You already have a mature garden

• You focus on mutation-based income

• You can support high hunger pets

• You enjoy long-term optimization

It Is Not Ideal If:

• You are early-game

• You rely on fruit stealing mechanics

• You want fast, low-effort income

In general, the Corrupted Kitsune is not a casual pet. It rewards planning and patience more than constant interaction.

Why Is the Corrupted Kitsune Considered Special?

There are several reasons this pet stands out.

• It is the second prismatic pet in the game

• It was the first prismatic pet obtainable from a chest

• It had a flat 1% hatch chance instead of lower decimal chances

• It introduced some of the highest mutation multipliers available

• It expanded mutation stacking strategies in late-game gardens

Most players consider it a milestone pet rather than a general-purpose one.

Known Design Details and Oddities

Over time, players noticed several interesting details.

• The Kitsune model technically has eight tails, but the Corrupted Kitsune displays nine

• According to folklore references, this suggests extreme age

• Both Kitsune variants share a tail clipping issue in the model

• The pet was originally planned for a different egg before being moved to chests

These details do not affect gameplay, but they explain why the pet feels more like a variant evolution rather than a completely separate design.

Final Thoughts on the Corrupted Kitsune

In general, the Corrupted Kitsune is a high-investment, high-reward pet. Most players who used it successfully built their entire garden strategy around mutation timing and overlap.

It is not flashy in daily play, and it does not provide instant results. Instead, it quietly increases fruit value over time, especially when paired with the regular Kitsune.

For players who enjoy planning, optimization, and long-term gains, it remains one of the most interesting pets ever added to Grow A Garden.
