Adopt Me Halloween Pets Guide (March 2026)
Week 1 Pets: The Foundation Collection
The first week of the Halloween event introduced some incredible pets that set the stage for the entire event. These pets are still available and essential for any serious collector.
Kitty Bat: The Free Legendary Pet
The Kitty Bat stands out as one of the most sought-after pets from Week 1, primarily because it’s completely free if you’re willing to put in the effort! Here’s how to obtain this legendary pet:
How to Get Kitty Bat:
- Visit the Playground at the 17th and 47th minutes of every hour
- Kitty Bats spawn and fly in a circle for exactly 3 minutes
- Use Yarn Apples to tame them (you can get Yarn Apples from Headless Horseman’s Grab Bag)
- Time your throws perfectly on the meter to gain 5-10% taming progress
- You’ll need 10-20 Yarn Apples minimum to complete the taming
Pro Tip: Save your Yarn Apples and practice your timing! The difference between perfect and good throws can save you hundreds of candy in the long run.
Phantom Dragon: The Organ Guardian
This majestic creature appears after completing the Scale the Organ! activity, making it one of the more interactive pets to obtain.
How to Get Phantom Dragon:
- Wait for your pet to get the “Scale the Organ!” ailment
- Visit the organ keys next to the Hospital
- Complete the climbing minigame
- The Phantom Dragon will appear and offer to join you for 1,000 Candy
Pro Strategy: Keep multiple pets ready with this ailment to farm Phantom Dragons more efficiently. Each completion also rewards 20 Bucks and 100 Candy!
Week 2 Pets: The Spider Invasion
Week 2 brought us an amazing collection of spider-themed pets that have become incredibly popular among traders.
The Spider Box: Four Pets in One
The Spider Box is perhaps the best value in the entire Halloween event, giving you access to four different pets with varying rarities.
Spider Box Contents:
- Jumping Spider (Uncommon) – The most common, but still cute
- Tarantula (Rare) – A step up in rarity and value
- Chilling Spider (Ultra-Rare) – Getting more valuable
- Black Widow (Legendary) – The crown jewel of the spider collection
How to Obtain:
- Purchase the Spider Box for 18,000 Candy from the Halloween Shop
- Open it to receive one random spider pet
- The drop rates favor rarer pets, but you could get any of the four
Trading Tip: Black Widows are trading for significantly more than the box cost, so if you get lucky, you could turn a profit!
The Black Dog: A Rare Addition
The Black Dog brings a classic Halloween vibe to your pet collection with its mysterious appearance.
How to Get Black Dog:
- Available directly from the Halloween Shop
- Costs 43,000 Candy
- Rare rarity makes it a solid mid-tier trading pet
Pro Tip: Combine with other Week 2 pets for better trading leverage, as complete week collections often trade at a premium.
Week 3 Pets: The Main Event
Week 3 introduced the three most talked-about pets of this Halloween event: Aye Aye, Slimingo, and the incredible Cryptid.
Aye Aye: The Common Gem
Don’t let the “Common” rarity fool you – the Aye Aye is one of the most visually striking pets this Halloween!
Aye Aye Details:
- Rarity: Common
- Price: 3,900 Candy (or 3,500 Candy according to some sources)
- Appearance: Bird-like creature with orange eyes, big ears, and black/white body
- Special Feature: Glows beautifully in neon form with yellow hue
How to Obtain:
- Find the Aye Aye hiding inside a tree trunk near the lily pads and bridge
- Purchase directly from the Halloween Shop for 3,900 Candy
Why It’s Special: Despite being common rarity, the Aye Aye’s unique design and beautiful neon transformation make it highly sought after by collectors who appreciate aesthetics over rarity.
Slimingo: The Legendary Flamingo
Slimingo has quickly become a fan favorite and is arguably one of the best-designed pets in the entire event.
Slimingo Details:
- Rarity: Legendary
- Price: 165,000 Candy
- Appearance: Spooky flamingo with black patches and white feathers
- Special Feature: Turns red and semi-invisible when neon, creating a ghostly effect
How to Obtain:
- This is where it gets interesting! Slimingo spawns in the swamp near the jumpy lily pads
- It appears every 15 minutes but only stays for 2-5 minutes (sources vary)
- You must be quick to purchase it when it spawns
- Alternatively, you might find it in the Halloween Shop for 165,000 Candy
Farming Strategy: Set a timer for every 15 minutes and camp near the swamp lily pads. The limited spawn window makes this pet challenging to obtain, but the effort is worth it for such a unique legendary pet.
Cryptid: The Ultimate Halloween Pet
The Cryptid is without a doubt the star of this year’s Halloween event. As the most expensive pet ever released in Adopt Me history, it’s a status symbol that serious collectors absolutely must have.
Cryptid Details:
- Rarity: Legendary
- Price: 1,500 Robux (approximately $15-20 USD)
- Special Feature: FOUR transformation forms that can be switched anytime
- Location: Found in a broken box between two trees, or in the Halloween Shop
The Four Transformations:
- Base Form: Adorable puppy with orange and white body, red tongue, and black nose/eyes
- Goat Form: Spooky goat with black horns, white beard, and glowing green eyes
- Wolf Form: Fierce wolf with glowing green eyes, large ears, and fluffy tail
- Dragon Form: Majestic dragon with green horns, dark green head, and glowing green eyes
Why It’s Worth Every Penny:
- Four pets in one with the ability to switch forms
- The most expensive pet ever released, making it an excellent investment
- Each form has its own unique neon glow effect
- Extremely high trading value due to its cost and uniqueness
Pro Tip: If you’re serious about trading, the Cryptid is your best bet. Its multiple forms make it incredibly versatile, and its high cost ensures it will maintain value long after the event ends.
How to Earn Candy Fast?
With pets costing up to 165,000 Candy, you’ll need efficient farming methods. Here are the best ways to earn Candy during the Halloween event:
Sleep or Treat Minigame
This is the most efficient Candy farming method introduced in Week 3:
How Sleep or Treat Works:
- Knock on doors three times to collect Candy
- Avoid DJ Snooze, who will try to put you to sleep
- Deposit collected Candy into the central pumpkin base
- Each round can reward over 2,000 Candy
Pro Strategies:
- Look for Headsets to become immune to DJ Snooze’s music
- Grab Candy Boosts to increase your movement speed
- Focus on houses that are close together to maximize efficiency
- The minigame runs on a 15-20 minute timer, so plan your sessions accordingly
The Hauntlet Minigame
Available from Week 1, The Hauntlet offers substantial Candy rewards for skilled players:
How to Maximize Hauntlet Rewards:
- Progress through 100 doors, choosing carefully at each step
- Use items strategically: Cell Phones reveal enemy doors, Rainbow Wands show safe doors
- Aim for Room 50+ for better rewards and a Yarn Apple
- The maximum reward is 21,000 Candy and 2,000 Bucks
Door Strategy:
- Gray Locked Doors: Lowest risk, lowest reward
- Plain Brown Doors: Slightly higher risk and reward
- Boarded Brown Doors: Higher risk, better rewards
- Boarded Doors with Glowing Eyes: Highest risk, best rewards
- Spiked Electric Doors: Costs 1 heart but good rewards

Neon Pet Transformations
Creating neon versions of your Halloween pets takes them to another level. Here’s what you need to know about each pet’s neon transformation:
Neon Aye Aye

How to Create Neon Pets:

Pro Tip: Focus on one pet type at a time to complete your neon collection faster. The Cryptid’s multiple forms make it the most impressive neon pet to show off.
