🐾 Reindeer Pet in Grow a Garden — Legendary
Reindeer is a Legendary pet from the second part of the Christmas Harvest Event, hatched from the Christmas Egg (30%). Reindeer work as a herd: each one levels faster for every other Reindeer you have, and eight at level 100 become a Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Last verified against the Reindeer page and the ability data on the Grow a Garden wiki.

⚡ What its two abilities do
Sleigh Synergy (always on): each Reindeer gains 6 extra XP per second for every other Reindeer in your garden. With four out, each gets 18 XP/s.
Beast of Snow: every 5 minutes 3 seconds at base weight, there's a 14% chance a nearby fruit gets Snowy (×2).
That self-boosting XP makes Reindeer quick to level, which matters because the Red-Nosed Reindeer needs eight of them at level 100. The wiki says the Salmon and Hyena have similar same-species XP bonuses.
