The Anubis Event added several new pets to Roblox Grow a Garden, and one clearly stands above the rest. The Hiero Scorpion is a Prismatic pet that levels up your weakest pet and can hand out a risky new mutation. We will walk you through its ability, stats, price, and best setup.
What Is the Hiero Scorpion?
The Hiero Scorpion is a Prismatic pet released in the first part of the Anubis Event. It looks like a black scorpion wrapped in thick golden armor carved with hieroglyphs. A bright teal stripe runs down its back. It also has the highest hunger value of any Anubis Event pet: 300,000.
You cannot hatch it from the Anubis Egg. You have to buy it from the event shop, which makes it a deliberate purchase rather than a lucky drop.
How to Get the Hiero Scorpion
The Hiero Scorpion sits at the top of the Anubis Coin Shop. It costs 13,500 Anubis Coins, 1,699 Robux, or 1,699 Trade Tokens. The catch is stock. It has only a 2% chance to appear at each hourly restock, and only one copy shows up.
Before you can buy it, you need to complete 15 excavations on the Ancient Archaeology platform. Plan for this early, because the coins take time to earn.
- Price: 13,500 Anubis Coins, 1,699 Robux, or 1,699 Trade Tokens
- Stock chance: 2% per hourly restock, one copy at a time
- Requirement: 15 completed excavations
- Manual restock: 1,000,000,000 Sheckles, and each restock triples the price
We earn Anubis Coins by selling Hieroglyphic fruit. The Uraeus pet and the Anubis Bramble seed both help here. Start stacking coins now so you can buy the moment it appears.
How the Hiero Sting Ability Works
The ability is called Hiero Sting. The Scorpion stings the lowest-level pet in your garden and grants it bonus XP. Each sting also carries a small chance to give that pet the new Hiero Venom mutation.
This targeting is the real strength. Your freshly hatched pets always sit at the bottom, so the Scorpion feeds exactly the pet that needs levels most. It cannot sting itself unless it is your lowest-level pet.
Weight changes everything here. At base weight, the cooldown is 23 minutes and 20 seconds, and each sting gives 40% XP. As the pet grows, the cooldown drops and the rewards climb.
Hiero Scorpion Stats by Weight
Here is how the numbers scale as your pet gains kilograms.
- 10 kg: 21-minute cooldown, 44% XP, 4.4% Hiero Venom chance
- 25 kg: 17 minutes 30 seconds, 50% XP, 5% chance
- 50 kg: 11 minutes 40 seconds, 60% XP, 6% chance
- 100 kg: 11 minutes 40 seconds, 80% XP, 8% chance
The cooldown bottoms out at 50 kg. After that, only the XP and mutation chance keep rising. So we should not rush to level the Scorpion itself past 50 kg if we only want speed. Past that point, we chase bigger rewards per sting, not faster stings.
Compared with the French Fry Ferret, the Scorpion is a slightly weaker option. The Ferret gives 100% XP per sting. The Scorpion tops out at 80%, but it brings a mutation the Ferret cannot offer.
Hiero Venom vs Normal Venom
Many players mix these two up, so let us clear it up. Normal Venom gives a 30% passive boost. It drains 2% XP per second, but only from the pet that carries it. It is safe for almost every method.
Hiero Venom is stronger and much more dangerous. It gives a 32% passive boost and a sell multiplier of 100. However, it drains XP from every other pet in your garden. The drain starts at 5% per second and can reach 10%.
That drain makes Hiero Venom a poor fit for KG boosting. If you run a full team with several Hiero Venom pets, your XP disappears fast. We suggest keeping a Hiero Venom pet alone, or with pets whose XP you do not mind losing. One reassuring detail: the Venom mutation never lowers a pet’s level. It only pushes XP down to zero.
Best Setup for Fast Leveling
The strongest known setup is simple. Use one Hiero Scorpion with six Mimic Octopuses on a 15-second cooldown. Make sure every pet is at max level first. Each cycle gives about five levels, and free-to-play players can reach level 500 in roughly 33 minutes.
This setup also gives you steady chances at the Hiero Venom mutation along the way. For levels 1 to 49, Pariton still works better. The Scorpion shines in the late game, where its percentage-based XP gives more value.
Is the Hiero Scorpion Worth It?
Yes, for most serious players. The other Anubis pets all come with limits. The Apshait helps with mutations but does little for methods. The Uraeus only works during Dune Storm weather in this event. The Bennu relies on specific mutations and only gives random rewards. The Ancient Sphinx trades pet age for XP in a poor deal.
The Hiero Scorpion beats them all because it works in every future update. Its leveling power does not depend on the event. We expect it to stay useful long after Anubis ends.
Our advice is clear. Save your coins, finish your excavations, and check the shop every hour. If the Scorpion shows up, grab it fast, because that 2% chance does not come often.
