Garet is the oldest planet known belonging to GJ 229 and one of the oldest in its solar system. It is named after the deity Garet, the creator of fear.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to GJ 229, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 81 days.

The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of ice.

Garet can easily be seen from Mitonle-raq with the naked eye, as can its blueish coloring.
