As mentioned, you can get a Pterodactyl by hatching a Dinosaur egg in Grow a Garden. It has a low chance of 3% of appearing from an egg. Naturally, you can hatch multiple eggs to increase your chance of obtaining the Pet. There are two ways to get the Dinosaur egg: Completing Dino Quests and Exchanging Pets. Here is a step-by-step guide for both:

Completing Dino Quests

• Interact with the Blaire NPC. You can find her at the Prehistoric Quests stall.
• You will see three action prompts while interacting with her.
• Click the “Show me Quest” prompt to open the Dino Quest menu.
• Pick and complete any Quest that rewards a Dinosaur egg.

Exchanging Pets

• Interact with Graham NPC. You can find him behind the Blaire NPC at the Prehistoric Egg stall.
• You will see three action prompts while interacting with him.
• Equip a non-Dinosaur Pet
• Click the “Take this Pet” prompt.
• Graham will take your Pet, put it in the DNA Machine, and grant an egg after one hour.

There is a small chance you will get a Dinosaur Pet while submitting a higher-rarity Pet.
