The Zombified Mutation is one of the latest additions to the game. While the name might sound horrifying, it doesn't negatively impact your crops. On the contrary, plants with the Zombified Mutation sell for 25 times their original price, making it an excellent addition to your garden. However, obtaining this mutation is a completely different task.

You must own and use the Chicken Zombie pet in the game for this mutation. Unfortunately, currently, there is no way to get your hands on this pet, apart from trading it with another player. The developer gave this for free to those who were playing when the Blood Moon update dropped. Anyone who joined later missed the chance to obtain it.

If you possess the Chicken Zombie, equip it and click anywhere in your garden to set it loose. Every 29.46 minutes, there is a 20.27% chance that the chicken would 'Zombify' a nearby crop. Moreover, the Chicken Zombie has an additional trait that increases the hatch speed of any egg by 10.13%. This makes it useful to have in your garden.

Now that you know how to get the Zombified Mutation, you might also be interested in knowing how to identify a fruit that has obtained it. A fruit with this mutation has a green aura around it, with greenish liquid dripping from it. This gives the fruit a strangely dangerous look, but the 25x multiplier makes it completely worth it.

You can earn even more currency if the fruit catches more mutations like Frozen or Shocked, as stacking up mutations further raises the fruit's value.
