All Peyote Plants And Their Locations In GTA 5
GTA 5 has 76 peyote plants, of which 52 are on land, and the other 24 are submerged in water. These peyote plants are based on real-life cactus peyotes, which provide you with hallucination effects.
- Consuming these herbs will transform the character into the animal associated with that plant due to the animal sounds heard upon consumption.
- After changing your character, you can commit as many crimes as you want without facing any charges for those crimes.
- However, you can press E on your console to get out of the hallucination effect. Another way to end this effect is to die during the scene.
- You will get 5000 RP after using each herb. In short, using all peyote plants will reward you with 380,000 RP. While it is not the fastest way of making money in GTA 5, the RP is secondary to the sense of achievement and the transformations.
NOTE: The recent arrival of peyote plants in January 2024 indicated that water and unique animals had been excluded from the game (source: Reddit user Earthpuma120).
Transformed Animals
There are various animals into which your character can transform. I have listed these animals below:
| Land Animals | Water Animals | Birds ( Also Land Animals) |
|---|---|---|
| Boar | Dolphin | Chicken |
| Border Collie | Fish | Cormorant |
| Cougar | Hammerhead Shark | Crow |
| Cat | Orca | Hawk |
| Coyote | Stingray | Pigeon |
| Cow | Tiger Shark | Seagull |
| Husky | ||
| Pig | ||
| Poodle | ||
| Pug | ||
| Retriever | ||
| Rottweiler | ||
| Stag | ||
| West Highland White | ||
| Terrier | ||
| Wild Rabbit |
After transforming into an animal, you will acquire its traits and qualities, such as the ability to fly as a bird and attack from the sky. It is important to note that the animals you transform into may vary depending on the game.
In contrast, there is a chance you will turn into a random animal. It is more likely that you will transform into one of the animals on the given list.
