Overview
The Fried Pet Mutation Shard is a special piece of gear introduced during the Cooking Update. It serves as the third Pet Mutation Shard added to the game, following the Tranquil and Corrupted variants.
Appearance
This shard has the familiar hexagonal shape seen in other mutation shards but stands out with its light-red hue and soft glowing particles inside. Its shimmering, heat-like glow reflects its fiery cooking theme.
Usage
- The Fried Pet Mutation Shard is used to apply the Fried Mutation to a chosen pet.
- If the selected pet already possesses another mutation, the system will prompt the player to confirm whether they wish to replace the existing mutation.
- Accepting this confirmation will overwrite the current mutation permanently.
- Once applied, the Fried Mutation grants the pet the ability to occasionally sizzle nearby fruits, transforming them with the Fried Mutation effect approximately every 20 minutes.
How to Obtain
- During the Cooking Event, players could obtain the Fried Pet Mutation Shard by defeating or interacting with Chris P., with a 1% drop rate.
- Since the event ended, this shard is no longer obtainable, making it a limited-time exclusive collectible.
Fried Pet Mutation Shard Trivia
- The Fried Pet Mutation Shard shares the same tooltip text as the Fried Spray Tool, possibly due to a developer oversight.
- It was the first event shard introduced outside of the Zen-themed events.
- Its drop source, Chris P., is a humorous reference to “crispy,” fitting the cooking theme.
