In the fall of 2025, the long-awaited eighth main instalment of the Grand Theft Auto series — GTA VI — is set to be released. Many players look forward to this title, while still playing their favourite GTA 5 and its multiplayer mode — GTA 5 Online.
Known for its humour, controversy, and crazy scenarios, GTA 5 (and thus its online mode), even 13 years after its release, can still surprise players in 2024! One of the themes that some players might have missed but are worth discovering are… Peyote plants and the effects they cause!
What are Peyote Plants?
In the game as well, Peyote Plants, when consumed, induce strange, hallucinogenic effects on your character. However, in GTA Online, the creators took it a step further — hallucinations take on a physical form, transforming your character into various animals!
Here’s the full list of animals you can turn into by eating Peyote Plants:
- West Highland Terrier
- Rottweiler
- Retriever
- Pug
- Poodle
- Husky
- Coyote
- Border Collie
- Cat
- Mountain Lion
- Boar
- Elk
- Hawk
- Cormorant
- Crow
- Pigeon
- Seagull
- Hen
- Cow
- Pig
- Rabbit
- Killer Whale
- Stingray
- Tiger Shark
- Hammerhead Shark
- Dolphin
- Fish
And bonus…
- Sasquatch
- Chop (Franklin’s Pet Dog)
Interestingly, these effects are semi-randomized, so it’s often difficult to predict which Peyote Plant will turn you into which animal.
Peyote Plant Locations Overview
Does roaming Los Santos as a dog, boar, or mountain lion sound exciting? You’re probably wondering where to find these extraordinary plants now.
Well, they are scattered all over the map. Some can be found right in the city centre, others are located by lakes, on the beach, in open fields, and even at the top of mountains; some rest at the bottom of the bay, several meters off the shoreline.
Many of them can be encountered accidentally while completing various missions or exploring the world, and to find some, it’s worth going for a little hike. Below you’ll find all the Peyote Plants GTA Online locations!
