The Corrupted Kitsune is a Prismatic-tier pet in Grow a Garden, pulled from the Kitsune Crate at the Kitsune NPC. It sits in the same rarity bracket as Peryton, Blue Whale, and New Year's Dragon, but its 1% drop rate makes it noticeably easier to obtain than most pets at this tier.
Corrupted Kitsune drop rates from the Kitsune Crate
The Kitsune NPC has a "View Odds" dialogue option that lists every possible reward and its exact pull chance. Two Prismatic items share the bottom slots at 1% each, while the rest of the table is dominated by lower-tier rewards.
| Reward | Drop chance |
|---|---|
| Maneki-neko | 34.5% |
| Dozen | 34.5% |
| Kodama | 14.5% |
| Lucky Bamboo | 14.5% |
| Corrupted Kitsune (Prismatic) | 1% |
| Tranquil Bloom (Prismatic) | 1% |
For context, most Divine pets sit at similar or worse odds, which is why this Prismatic is widely considered one of the most accessible top-tier pets currently in the game.
How to obtain the Corrupted Kitsune
You earn Kitsune Crate attempts by raising your Corruption Level through repeated interactions with the Kitsune NPC. Each time you select the "Take this plant" option, the dialogue confirms with a "Corruption Level increased to [N]" message on screen.
Step 1: Walk up to the glowing red Kitsune structure in your garden area and interact with it to open the dialogue menu.
Step 2: Select "Take this plant" to raise your Corruption Level. Repeat this until you trigger a Kitsune Crate roll.
Step 3: Resolve the crate and check your inventory for the Corrupted Kitsune. If you receive a different reward, return to the NPC and continue raising Corruption Levels for additional rolls.
Because crate rolls come around quickly, players regularly stack multiple Corrupted Kitsunes within a few days of farming.
Where Corrupted Kitsune sits among Prismatic pets
Prismatic is the highest item tier in Grow a Garden, currently containing roughly 70 entries spanning crops, gear, and pets. The Corrupted Kitsune is the second Prismatic obtainable through the Kitsune Crate alongside the Tranquil Bloom plant, and it joins notable pet entries like Peryton, Blue Whale, Birb, Frostwing, Gold Finch, Headless Horseman, Ice Golem, Wispwing, and the New Year's Dragon.
Mutating the Corrupted Kitsune
Once you have a Corrupted Kitsune, you can run it through the Mutation Machine near the Egg Shop after it reaches age 50 or higher. The standard mutation cycle takes one hour and resets the pet's age back to 1, and the process cannot be cancelled once started.
Alternatives to the Mutation Machine include feeding a Golden Acorn, triggering mutations through Headless Horseman, Ice Golem, or Peryton abilities, or applying a specific Pet Mutation Shard. Mutations do not stack, so re-running an already mutated Kitsune overwrites its current mutation rather than layering a new one on top.
If you are aiming for a fruit-mutating build, the Corrupted mutation itself applies the Corrupted crop mutation to nearby fruit every 25:00–16:40 minutes with a 20–30% chance, which pairs naturally with the pet's theme.
Inventory and equip considerations
Pets occupy your standard inventory and equip slots, so plan ahead before farming multiple Corrupted Kitsunes. Players begin with 3 equip slots and can extend up to 8 through Limited Time Shop gamepasses and aged-pet trade-ins.
| Inventory source | Slots added |
|---|---|
| Default capacity | 60 |
| Gamepasses and pet trade-ins | +25 |
| Pet Pouch crafting (max 50 pouches) | +50 |
| Garden Ascension Shop upgrades | +100 |
| Maximum total | 235 |
The Pet Pouch is crafted with a Common Egg, a Corndog, a Small Treat, a Small Toy, and 50M Sheckles. Ascension Shop upgrades cost 40 Garden Coins each and add 10 slots per purchase, capped at ten purchases.
How to verify you got the pet
After a successful Kitsune Crate roll, the Corrupted Kitsune appears directly in your pet inventory with the Prismatic rarity border. If a pull lands on Maneki-neko, Dozen, Kodama, or Lucky Bamboo instead, no Prismatic was awarded, and you will need to grind additional Corruption Levels for another roll. There is no pity system tied to the crate, so each pull is independent at the rates listed above.
