This guide covers its unique passive, appearance, and history.
The “Welcome to Fry Town” Passive Ability 📈
The French Fry Ferret’s main appeal is its unique passive ability, “Welcome to Fry Town.”
- Effect: Approximately every 57-60 minutes, this pet will automatically grant one level to another random pet you have equipped. When the ability activates, it also plays a distinct “Tada!” sound.
This makes it an amazing pet for passively training your other companions without any extra effort.
Cooldown and Restrictions
The ability has some special rules:
- It cannot be mimicked by other pets (like a Ditto-style pet).
- Its cooldown cannot be refreshed by other pets’ abilities.
- The cooldown can be reduced by using toys:
- Small Toy: Reduces cooldown by 6 minutes and 3 seconds.
- Medium Toy: Reduces cooldown by 12 minutes and 6 seconds.
- It has the longest minimum cooldown cap in the game at 20 minutes.
How It Was Obtained 🍟
The French Fry Ferret was only available during the Cooking Event. Players had a 1% chance to hatch it from a Gourmet Egg. Since the event has ended, it can no longer be obtained through this method.
Appearance 🐾
The French Fry Ferret is a white ferret with brown markings on its legs, tail, shoulders, and around its eyes. It has a bright pink nose and inner ears. Its most iconic feature is the red packet of yellow french fries it wears on its head, which is marked with a yellow “G” (likely for “Gourmet,” or as a fun nod to a famous fast-food logo).
Fun Facts & History
- Rarity Change: The French Fry Ferret was originally a “Prismatic” tier pet but was upgraded to “Divine” during the Kitchen Storm Update.
- Bug Fix: A bug that allowed the ferret to use its ability on max-level pets was also fixed in the same update.
- Similar to an Item: Its ability is very similar to the effect of the Level Up Lollipop item, but it activates automatically on a timer.
