Caylus is a Limited Brainrot that players canβt obtain through normal farming because it only appears during Admin Abuse developer events as a spawned boss. To unlock it, you must participate when it spawns and defeat it, then you can place Caylus on your base platform to generate money like other Brainrots. This guide explains the exact unlock method, what to bring to the fight, and why Caylus is considered a top-tier earnerβespecially if you get a mutated version.

How To Get Caylus in Plants Vs Brainrots
What is Caylus?
Caylus is a Limited-rarity character introduced during the Plants Vs Brainrots New Year Event and is based on YouTuber Caylus. Itβs described as only the second in-game unit inspired by a content creator (after Laserbean). In your base, Brainrots act as passive income unitsβonce owned, you place them on platforms to generate money over time.β
How to get Caylus (step-by-step)
Caylus is βAdmin Abuse-exclusive,β meaning developers spawn it during Admin Abuse events around updates, and players must fight it to earn it. Use the steps below to reliably convert the spawn into an unlock:β
- Step 1: Watch for an Admin Abuse event (typically triggered by developers before/after updates), because Caylus only becomes obtainable when it spawns during these events.β
- Step 2: When Caylus appears, group up with nearby players and focus fire, since its HP can be extremely high depending on its tier (Sportskeeda notes Tier III can have over a million health).β
- Step 3: Bring your best damage optionsβSportskeeda recommends using Secret and Limited plants for the damage needed to win the fight.β
- Step 4: Equip strong damage-boosting cards; the guide specifically calls out Agile Bloom and Doom Bloom to enhance damage output during the fight.β
- Step 5: After Caylus is defeated, itβs added to your inventory, and you can place it on a platform in your base to start generating income.β
Caylus stats, income, and mutations
Caylus has a base income rate of $20,000 per second at 90 kg (base form), and it earns much more with higher weight and certain mutations. Sportskeeda also notes youβre βmost likelyβ to obtain mutated versions because Caylus is only obtained during Admin Abuse events where developers trigger multiple event modifiers.β
Here are the income rates listed for Caylus mutations:
- Pumpkin Caylus: $170,000 per second.β
- Headless Caylus: $180,000 per second.β
- Frozen Caylus: $60,000 per second.β
- UpsideDown Caylus: $120,000 per second.β
- Underworld Caylus: $130,000 per second.β
- Rainbow Caylus: $120,000 per second.β
- Snowy Caylus: $80,000 per second.β
Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)
Many players waste time looking for Caylus like a normal roaming spawn, but itβs explicitly Admin Abuse-exclusive and must be spawned by developers. Another common issue is showing up underpowered; since Caylus HP scales by tier and can exceed a million HP, bring high-damage Secret/Limited plants and damage-enhancing cards to avoid timing out or losing the fight. Finally, remember the unlock condition is the kill: Caylus gets added to your inventory only after itβs defeated, and then it must be placed on a base platform to generate money.β
