Grow a Garden Termite Pet Guide – Stats, Trait and How to Get It

If you’ve been exploring the latest event in Grow a Garden on Roblox, you’ve likely come across the intriguing (and somewhat mischievous) pet known as the Termite. Below is a full breakdown of everything you need to know: how to get it, what it does, the pros & cons, and when you might want to keep one.

What is the Termite?

The Termite is a Common-tier pet introduced during the “Smithing Event” in Grow a Garden. Its key characteristics:

• Rarity / Tier: Common.
• Date added: 15 November 2025 (with the Smithing Event).
• Obtaining method: Via digging in the Smithing Event, with a hatch or drop chance of around ~7.22% (some sources say ~7.61%).
• Hunger (a game-mechanic for pets): 2,000.
• Appearance: Ant-like, eyeless, with a brown-red head and fangs, pink-pale legs on each side of its brown body.

In short: it’s a fun little pet, but it comes with a twist.

Unique Trait & What It Actually Does

Perhaps the most distinctive thing about the Termite is its passive trait: “Level Eater”.

• This trait occasionally reduces a random pet’s level by 1.
• One source even states: “Every 11:40-5:00 m, eats from and reduces a random pet’s level by 1.”

So rather than boosting your pets, the Termite subtracts from them. That alone makes it a peculiar addition to your lineup.

How to Obtain the Termite

Here’s how you can get your hands on this pet:

Event Context

The Termite was released as part of the Smithing Event (Update 1.32.0) in Grow a Garden.

• The event introduced crafting mechanics, digging mechanics, rewards like coal, new pets, etc.
• One of the digging rewards lists the Termite with ~7.61% drop chance.

Digging Method

• During the Smithing Event you could use the treasure-digging mechanic (10 digs per day/time etc) and one of the possible rewards is the Termite.
• Other sources list it as “hatch chance” 7.22%.

Summary of Steps

1. Participate in Smithing Event → go to the digging platform.
2. Use your digs, hoping for the ~7% chance Termite pet.
3. If you succeed, you get the Termite; if not, keep digging.

Tips for Using (or Avoiding) the Termite

• If you acquire the Termite, avoid placing it actively in your main team unless you have a very specific reason to use its leveling-down trait.
• Use it in a “safe” slot or alternate pet bench so it doesn’t inadvertently reduce the level of a pet you rely on.
• If you are hunting rare pets/events, remember that you have ~7% chance – patience is required.
• Consider trading or holding it if you don’t want to use it – some community members list it for trades.
• Keep an eye on future events: pets with negative or quirky traits sometimes become part of meta strategies later (though not guaranteed).

Final Thoughts

The Termite is a curious addition to the Grow a Garden pet roster. It flips the usual “gain power” paradigm by removing levels from other pets. This makes it more of a quirk or utility niche item rather than a straightforward “upgrade”.

If you’re event-focused and enjoy exploring every mechanic in the game – including the weird ones – then grabbing the Termite is worth a go. But if your goal is simply to power-up your garden and pets as fast as possible, you might deprioritise it and aim for more beneficial pets instead.
