Every Week 1 Adopt Me Halloween Pet — Full Breakdown
🕷️ Mummy Spider — Free
The Mummy Spider is the best deal in the entire Halloween event. It costs nothing. Zero Robux, zero Candy Corn. To claim it, you need to reach the very bottom floor of The Crypt — the dungeon building to the right of the Spooky Manor. The Crypt has multiple locked floor levels, and you work your way down by spending Crypt Keys on each door.
How to get Crypt Keys: Complete Daily Challenges on the Halloween Task Board (e.g., "Complete 30 pet needs") to earn one key per objective, or defeat the Giant Ghost Octopus boss in the Ghost Gallery mini-game for 1 key per run plus 5,000 Candy Corn.
💡 Pro Tip: Push straight to the deeper Crypt floors (Level 2 and 3) rather than stopping at Level 1 — deeper doors drop Crypt Twigs for the Jacobin Pigeon, making each key worth double duty.

🕊️ Jacobin Pigeon — 8 Crypt Twigs
Crypt Twigs are rare drops from opening tombstone doors inside The Crypt — and they're Untradeable, so you have to farm them yourself. Collect 8 and bring them to the Hotel building, where a "Place Twig" prompt lets you build the Spooky Nest. The Jacobin Pigeon is your reward once the nest is complete.
This is the grindiest pet in Week 1. Crypt Twigs don't drop from every door, so expect to spend a solid session burning through Crypt Keys before you hit 8. The lore dialogue around the Hotel rooms adds personality though — at least the grind comes with entertainment.
👻 Jumpscare Pet — 40,000 Candy Corn
The Jumpscare is the Candy Corn milestone pet of this event, sitting at a hefty 40,000 Candy Corn requirement at the Manor. It's also obtainable through Crystal Eggs (see below), giving you a secondary route if your luck holds. The Ghost Gallery mini-game is your fastest Candy Corn source at 5,000 per boss run — meaning you need roughly 8 clean Ghost Gallery victories to afford it. Playing with a team makes the timer much easier to beat.
🐉 Jester Dragon — 1,000 Robux
The Legendary of the bunch. The Jester Dragon costs 1,000 Robux at the Carnival circus tent near the Nursery and is the only pet in the event that requires real money. With a Pets+ subscription, it drops to 800 Robux per copy — relevant if you're building a Neon (requires 4 copies). Its Neon form glows toxic green and is already commanding premium trades with supply still limited.
What Are Crystal Eggs? (And How to Get the Strawberry Tortle)
Crystal Eggs are the event's hatch mechanic — purchasable with Candy Corn in the Halloween Event Shop and opened for a chance at exclusive 2026 Halloween pets. The prize pool includes the Jumpscare pet and the extremely rare Strawberry Tortle.
The Strawberry Tortle is the sleeper hit of the event. It's not purchasable directly and doesn't show up on the main pet list — it only comes from Crystal Eggs. Supply is naturally low because most players don't even know it exists, which makes early Neon Strawberry Tortles a strong trade play once the event ends.
"I spent my first batch of Candy Corn on Crystal Eggs half-expecting nothing useful. Third egg cracked open a Jumpscare. Kept going. No Strawberry Tortle — but watching Cookie Cutter burn through dozens on stream and still not land one puts the rarity into perspective pretty fast."
⚠️ Important: Mass-hatch Crystal Eggs early in the event while pet demand and trade values are at their peak. Waiting until Week 4 means more players have Jumpscare pets, lowering trade leverage. The Strawberry Tortle is your real target — hatch in volume if you can farm the Candy Corn.
How to Farm Candy Corn Fast in Adopt Me Halloween 2026
Every non-Robux pet in this event runs on Candy Corn. Here's a ranked breakdown of the best earning methods:
- Ghost Gallery mini-game (best rate): 5,000 Candy Corn + 1 Crypt Key per run. Defeat the Giant Ghost Octopus boss before the timer expires. Play in a team — solo runs finish with about 2 seconds to spare, which is too close for comfort. This is your main grind loop.
- Crypt door openings: 1,000 Candy Corn per door. Good secondary income while you farm Crypt Twigs, but nowhere near Ghost Gallery efficiency on its own.
- Candy Pile (Bonus Candy Corn Gamepass): The Bonus Candy Corn Gamepass unlocks the Candy Pile for passive collection and adds a 25% Candy Corn boost to all earnings. It also retroactively grants candy earned before purchase — so buying late still pays off.
- Daily Challenges: Complete pet care objectives on the Task Board for Crypt Keys and bonus event rewards. Not the biggest Candy Corn source but consistent free income each day.

Upcoming Adopt Me Halloween Pets: What's Teased for Weeks 2–4?
Adopt Me left a trail of hints baked into the Halloween map itself. Here's everything the environment is pointing at:
- Count Slothulot: Currently roaming the map as an NPC with dialogue lines like "So close yet so far" and "Late to blood suckers anonymous." He's an obvious candidate for a Week 2 or 3 adoptable pet. Cookie Cutter predicted roughly 99 Robux range based on past event patterns.
- Skeleton Alicorn: Teased by a bone-grinding machine in the Secret Lab area of the map. The visual connection to the caged Alicorn next to Agent Lily makes this a near-certain upcoming pet. NPC Agent Lily herself says "She won't be happy" — pointing to a lore reveal tied to this pet's release.
- Ghost Octopus: The Giant Ghost Octopus boss in the Ghost Gallery is too prominent to stay just a mini-game mechanic. Historically, Adopt Me event bosses become adoptable pets. Predicted for Week 3 or 4.
- Evil Teddy Bear: A teaser poster shows a giant teddy bear chasing Adopt Me staff members. Tied to the Carnival update arriving in roughly 12 days from the event launch. Predicted around 1,500 Robux given its Week 4 positioning — the most expensive of the event.
💡 Pro Tip: If any of these teased pets are Robux-based (especially the Evil Teddy Bear), buying on launch day before trade supply fills up gives you the best leverage window. Neon versions made in the first 48 hours always command a premium.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many new pets are in the Adopt Me Halloween 2026 update?
Week 1 launched 4 confirmed pets: Mummy Spider (free), Jacobin Pigeon (Crypt Twigs), Jumpscare (40,000 Candy Corn), and Jester Dragon (1,000 Robux). Crystal Eggs add the rare Strawberry Tortle. Up to 10 pets are teased across all 4 weeks including Count Slothulot, Skeleton Alicorn, Ghost Octopus, and the Evil Teddy Bear.
How do you get the free Mummy Spider in Adopt Me?
The Mummy Spider is earned by reaching the very bottom floor of The Crypt — no Robux or Candy Corn required. Use Crypt Keys (earned from Daily Challenges or defeating the Ghost Gallery boss) to unlock each door level. Clear all 4 Crypt levels and the Mummy Spider is yours completely free.
What are Crystal Eggs in Adopt Me Halloween 2026?
Crystal Eggs are purchasable event eggs in the Halloween Event Shop, bought with Candy Corn. They contain exclusive 2026 Halloween pets including the Jumpscare pet and the extremely rare Strawberry Tortle. The Strawberry Tortle isn't available any other way, making Crystal Eggs the only path to it.
Which Adopt Me Halloween 2026 pet is worth the most in trades?
The Jester Dragon is currently the highest-value pet at 10 Ride Potions per AdoptMeTradingValues.com (October 5, 2026). The Strawberry Tortle from Crystal Eggs is a strong contender due to its rarity and low supply. Neon versions of both — especially early-fused ones — hold strong leverage while supply stays limited.
When does the Adopt Me Halloween 2026 event end?
The Adopt Me Halloween 2026 event runs from October 3 to October 31, 2026. After that date, all event pets — including the Mummy Spider, Jumpscare, Jacobin Pigeon, and Jester Dragon — become Limited and can only be obtained through player-to-player trades. Values typically rise post-event.
Which Pets Should You Actually Go For?
For free-to-play players: grind Ghost Gallery daily, clear the Crypt for the Mummy Spider and Crypt Twigs, and save Candy Corn for Crystal Eggs rather than spending it all on Jumpscare. The Strawberry Tortle has far better long-term trade value.
For Robux players: the Jester Dragon at 10 Ride Potions is solid value, especially in Neon form. Hold for Weeks 2–4 and watch whether the Evil Teddy Bear or Skeleton Alicorn become the event's highest-demand Legendary — that's where the real trading play will be.
The event runs until October 31. Plenty of time — but the Carnival update bringing new pets is arriving in roughly two weeks, which is when the meta shifts again. Stay ahead of it.
