You're welcome @Shyads! You hatched a rare one too, Congatulations!

So is it a specific day spawn tho?

@Shyads For me it was around 9:30 monday morning so it just probably has a timer until you encounter it again. On the other hand I think there was a message on Discord that something was amiss in the original Crocus configuration? I may be wrong, I was barely awake when I have read it.

As KingSpinosaurus said, this encounter was previously misconfigured as Glitched Shluppbun. Komodo has fixed it now.

Edit: So far the encounter seems to have a cooldown that's less than 24 hours. Yesterday I got one around noon, and today I encountered another one around 9 am.

@Shyads

I believe the cooldown is per pet like you said, as Dreamcrystal has been able to encounter glitched crocus multiple times in quick succession by using different pets. In my previous post, I should've clarified that I was using the same pet as yesterday -- sorry about that. But yeah, 12 hours sounds about right. I think I'll start checking the encounter periodically after 6 hours to confirm.

Edit: Ok, yeah, I'm now confident that it's a 12-hour cooldown per pet. Been checking for the encounter every hour and I got it again at 12 hours.
