⚡ What Flickering Shell does
Every 30 minutes at base weight, the Candle Turtle goes to a candle cosmetic in your garden and absorbs it, starting with the lowest-rarity candle. In return, either all your other pets get 2,000 XP, or 2 fruit get the Ash mutation (×4).
It uses up a candle each time, so you need a supply of candle cosmetics. Put out cheap ones, since it eats the lowest rarity first.
