Grow a Garden recently introduced the Ice Golem, a new prismatic pet that’s been generating a lot of buzz in the community. As someone who’s spent hours experimenting with various mutations, I decided to put this pet to the test and see whether it really offers any meaningful advantage—or if it’s just overhyped.
How the Ice Golem Works
The Ice Golem is a no-cooldown pet, which allows you to copy its abilities using Ruby Squids and mutate other pets multiple times through the mutation machine. On paper, it sounds like a game-changer, but my tests revealed some major limitations.
I experimented with a rainbow hatched elephant that already had a Nightmare mutation, which normally gives a 4.1 kg boost and can reach 60 kg with toys. Despite repeated attempts using the Ice Golem, the pet’s mutations barely surpassed 20% boost in practice. This demonstrates that sometimes the hype around new pets doesn’t match reality.
For players looking to expand their collection, it’s still possible to buy grow a garden pets through trusted channels, which can help you test new strategies without relying entirely on random hatches. Just make sure you’re buying from reputable sources to avoid wasting tokens.
Rainbow vs. Regular Pets: Mutation Results
The biggest issue with the Ice Golem is that it fails to properly affect rainbow hatched and giant hatched pets. Even with a 60% chance for mutations, none of my rainbow pets received significant boosts—they were effectively ignored by the Ice Golem’s mechanics.
Regular pets fared slightly better. I managed to get mutations like Christmas Rally and Jolly Decorator, but these only offered minor passive boosts. Compared to the consistent power of the Nightmare mutation, the Ice Golem just doesn’t measure up for serious progression.
If you want to stay on top of your pet values or discover fair trades, tools like U4GM are extremely useful. By entering a pet’s name, age, and kg, you can quickly see its current market value and identify trading opportunities. For dedicated players, this kind of information is invaluable in making smarter decisions.
Boosting Your Pets with Items
Another way to improve your pets is by using toys, eggs, or other in-game items. There are multiple websites to buy grow a garden items, which can help you acquire rare resources that speed up pet growth or enhance passive boosts. Combining these items with well-chosen mutations is often more effective than relying solely on a new pet like the Ice Golem.
For Roblox players, this approach is especially useful because it allows you to maximize your garden’s potential without relying on luck. Planning your strategy carefully can save you a lot of tokens and frustration in the long run.
Key Takeaways
Based on my testing, here’s what I recommend:

1. Avoid investing heavily in the Ice Golem for rainbow hatched pets. Its limited compatibility makes it a risky choice.
2. Stick with Nightmare mutations for reliable boosts. They remain the strongest option in Grow a Garden.
3. Use tracking and trading tools like U4GM to evaluate pet values and find fair trades.
4. Enhance your pets strategically using toys, eggs, or items from trusted sources rather than relying on a single new pet.
5. Test new pets carefully before committing large amounts of tokens. Even visually impressive pets may underperform.

The Ice Golem might look exciting at first glance, but after thorough testing, it’s clear that it doesn’t live up to expectations. Rainbow hatched pets are largely ignored, and the passive boosts for regular pets are modest at best. Players are better off focusing on proven mutations, strategic item use, and reliable tools like U4GM for tracking and trading. In the end, smart planning always beats hype.
