The Tanuki is a Legendary pet added in the Zen Update, obtainable by hatching a Zen Egg with a 20.82% chance. Known for its playful personality, the Tanuki brings both charm and mischief to the garden with random beneficial effects triggered every few minutes.
Appearance
The Tanuki closely resembles its real-life counterpart — a raccoon-like animal with soft brown fur and lighter patches around the face and belly. It has an innocent smile and rounded features, resembling the Raccoon pet model but with warmer, earthy tones.
Traits

Granting itself experience points. Advancing another pet’s cooldown timer by 60 seconds. Rewarding the player with 300–1,000 coins. This unique ability makes the Tanuki both unpredictable and rewarding, fitting its folklore origins.
How to Obtain
- The Tanuki could be hatched from the Zen Egg with a 20.82% chance during the Zen Event. It is currently unobtainable.
