Currently, the only way to get your hands on a Mimic Octopus naturally is by hatching the Paradise Egg. You can purchase this egg from the Pet Egg Store at the other end of the map. Note that you must spend a whopping 50 million Sheckles to get this egg and then wait 6 hours and 40 minutes for it to hatch.

Once done, you only have a mere 1% chance of hatching the Mimic Octopus from the Paradise Egg, making it an extremely rare pet to obtain. However, being a Divine rarity pet and one with an incredible passive, it is worth spending the money and time on.

Mimic Octopus' passive ability

Mimic Octopus has one of the best pet abilities in the game. Every 19.56 minutes, the pet mimics and copies the shape and abilities of a random pet and performs its abilities. This means the octopus can give you the benefits of multiple pets without you having to own them or set them free in your garden.

This is also a great opportunity since you can only have three active pets in your garden at a time. However, with the Mimic Octopus, you can bypass this limitation in a way. Combined with pets that reduce the cooldown of other pets' passive abilities, you can trigger Mimic Octopus' abilities often to reap great rewards.
