The Amethyst Penguin is the headline pet of the Star Rewards Revamp Update in Adopt Me, and it is not something you can buy off a shop shelf and be done with. It hatches from the Gemstone Egg, and the Gemstone Egg sits at the very end of a brand-new 30-day login streak that replaces the old Star Rewards track entirely.
Quick answer: Log in to Adopt Me and claim your Star Rewards on 30 separate days after the revamp goes live on September 11th, 2026. Day 30 pays out the Gemstone Egg, which hatches the legendary Amethyst Penguin.
Amethyst Penguin release date and rarity
The Amethyst Penguin is a legendary pet releasing on September 11th, 2026 as part of the Star Rewards Revamp Update. Its only listed price is Star Rewards, via the Gemstone Egg, which is a meaningful detail — there is no cash-shop bundle or event currency attached to it at launch.
The teaser shows the pet arriving as a meteor that lands and cracks open into the penguin, and the model itself is heavy on gemstone detailing, with accessories and a crown finishing the look. It is purple, it is shiny, and it is clearly built to be the new flex pet for people who log in every single day.
What’s leaving Adopt Me in the Star Rewards revamp
The current Star Rewards menu is being scrapped, not adjusted. The Diamond Unicorn, the Golden Egg, and the Diamond Egg are all being pulled out of the game permanently when the update lands. If you are close to claiming any of those, the window closes on Friday.
The rest of the old Star Rewards pets are not disappearing. Everything outside of the Golden Egg and Diamond Egg pools is moving over to the new system and the Gemstone Egg, so the egg you earn at day 30 pulls from a wider pet list than the Amethyst Penguin alone.
| Item | Status after the revamp |
|---|---|
| Diamond Unicorn | Removed from the game permanently |
| Golden Egg | Removed from the Star Rewards track |
| Diamond Egg | Removed from the Star Rewards track |
| Other Star Rewards pets | Moved into the new system and the Gemstone Egg |
| Gemstone Egg | New day 30 reward, hatches the Amethyst Penguin |
How to get the Gemstone Egg with a 30-day login streak
Note: This is a streak, not a running total. The menu tracks a current streak separately from your longest streak, so skipping a day sets your current count back rather than pausing it.
Daily login rewards on the new Star Rewards track
The 29 days before the egg are not empty. Each claim pays out Bucks, and the amount scales up as the streak builds, starting small and climbing quickly through the first week.
| Day | Reward |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | $25 Bucks |
| Day 2 | $50 Bucks |
| Day 3 | $100 Bucks |
| Day 4 | $200 Bucks |
| Day 5 | $300 Bucks |
| Day 30 | Gemstone Egg |
Buying the Gemstone Egg with Robux
There is a SHOP button sitting on the new Star Rewards interface next to the Gemstone Egg, which points to a paid shortcut for players who do not want to wait out the full month. Pricing has not been shown, so treat the Robux route as a possibility rather than a plan until the update is live and the shop entry is open.
Amethyst Penguin tricks, neon, and trading
The pet learns six tricks as it ages, following the standard Adopt Me growth stages. Two of them are still unnamed placeholders at the top end.
| Age | Trick |
|---|---|
| Newborn | Sit |
| Junior | Joyful |
| Pre-Teen | Beg |
| Teen | Jump |
| Post-Teen | Trick 1 |
| Full Grown | Trick 2 |
No Neon or Mega Neon version of the Amethyst Penguin has been created yet, so anyone planning to burn four copies in the Neon Cave should hold off. Trading is the other legitimate way to end up with one if you miss the streak or lose it partway through.
The practical takeaway is simple. Friday resets the clock for everyone, and the earliest anybody can hold an Amethyst Penguin through the free route is 30 days of unbroken logins after that. Start the streak on day one and it becomes a 30-second daily habit; start it late and you are waiting out the same month anyway.
