All creatures you can turn into with the Peyote Plant

If you consume a Peyote Plant in GTA Online, you’ll transform into a land animal or a sea creature. Your character will pass out, and you’ll respawn as a randomly selected animal. The animal transformation depends on where you picked up the Peyote Plant, though, so if you want a higher chance of becoming, say, a dolphin, your best bet is grab one of the underwater Plants.

Listed below are all of the creatures you can turn into:

When you transform into an animal, the police will leave you alone, allowing you to wreak as much havoc as you want.

Special transformations

In addition to that, there are two special creatures you can transform into if you consume the right Peyote Plant:

  • Chop: Consume the Peyote Plant at the Clinton house.
  • Sasquatch: Consume the Mount Chiliad Peyote Plant between 3:30 and 8:30, and during foggy weather.

Peyote Plant respawn times

Once you consume a Peyote Plant, you can end the transformation anytime. It’ll also end if you die, and you’ll respawn at the closest hospital with 5,000 RP awarded to you.

Once consumed, a Peyote Plant in that location will respawn after 24 in-game hours.
