The Golden Rat was introduced to *Adopt Me* during the Lunar New Year event in early 2020. The event celebrated *Chinese New Year* and was themed around symbols and customs representing luck and prosperity. Among the event's special offerings, the Golden Rat stood out as the grand prize, appealing to players with its shimmering gold coat and exclusive status. Available only for a limited time during the event, the Golden Rat could be hatched from special Lunar New Year rat boxes, which were purchasable in-game for 345 bucks each. The introduction of this pet created high levels of anticipation and excitement within the game's community as players scrambled to obtain it during the event window. Over time, the Golden Rat has only grown in mystical appeal as newer players chase after it in trades, increasing its value further as a relic of past events.

The Golden Rat could be obtained during the Lunar New Year event in 2020 by opening special `.rat boxes`, which had a small chance to contain the Golden Rat. The boxes were available for 345 bucks each, and players could buy these during the event to try their luck. The event was time-limited, ending sometime in early February. Since the conclusion of the event, the Golden Rat can no longer be directly obtained; the only way to acquire it now is through `trading` with other players. Players often offer high-value items or Robux for a *Fly Ride (FR)* Golden Rat, given its rarity and limited availability nowadays.

The Golden Rat is considered a rare pet in Adopt Me, not just because of its limited-time availability but also due to the low probability of obtaining it from rat boxes. Only a small percentage of Lunar New Year boxes contained the Golden Rat, making it an exclusive and highly desirable pet. When you add its *Fly Ride* features, the rarity scales even higher. Compared to other pets introduced during seasonal events, the Golden Rat ranks exceptionally high in trades and can demand a premium in both items and currencies. Its attractiveness lies in its combination of exclusivity, striking aesthetics, and fly/ride utility, making it one of the top-tier pets in the game's economy.

Since the Golden Rat was only available during the Lunar New Year event in 2020, players can no longer directly purchase or hatch it from rat boxes. Its availability now depends entirely on the trading market, where players exchange their existing Golden Rats for other rare or high-value items. Some players may hold onto their Golden Rats for long-term value, which reduces the supply in the market, causing the price for trades involving them to increase. However, during Lunar New Year celebrations in future years, some players wonder if the Golden Rat will make a comeback, but as of yet, it remains exclusive to the 2020 event.

The Golden Rat has a sleek, shiny gold coat, symbolizing wealth, good fortune, and prosperity in numerous cultures. Its fur has a glowing golden color that catches attention from afar, setting it apart from more common pets in the game. The pet has elongated ears and an inquisitive face with eyes that sparkle in the light. Its body is long and slender, making it a unique presence when players use its `fly` or `ride` features. When flying, the Golden Rat maintains a sleek, streamlined posture as it zooms through the map, supported by an elegant winged animation. When ridden, its nimble movements and golden shimmer make players feel like they’re riding something truly magical.
