Steal An Egg Pet Mutations: All 8 Multipliers Explained

What are pet mutations in Steal An Egg?

Mutations are rare variants that pets can hatch with — the same pet, but with a glowing visual effect and a multiplier on its income. Eight mutations are documented, ranging from a modest 1.2x Silver to the game-warping 10x Luminous. You cannot mutate a pet after it hatches: the roll happens at hatch time, so mutation hunting means hatching more and better eggs.

All mutations and their multipliers

Why do mutations matter more than rarity?

Because the multiplier applies to the whole income number, mutation math routinely flips the rarity hierarchy:

• A clean Unicorn (Divine) earns $1B/s.
• A Luminous Eternal Lunar Dragon (Eternal, $250M/s base) earns $2.5B/s — more than double the Divine.
• A Rainbow Skeleton Horse (Eternal, $1.3B/s base) hits $4.55B/s — nearly matching the $5B/s Divines.

The endgame meta is therefore not “collect all nine Divines” — it is hatching volume in your highest unlocked egg until the right mutation lands on the right pet. Check the tier list with these multipliers in mind before you fuse or replace anything.

How do I farm mutations efficiently?

Mutation odds are not published, so the practical strategy is volume plus quality:

1. Farm the deepest egg you can — a mutated Secret beats a mutated Common at any multiplier.
2. Exploit the reset cycle — eggs restock roughly every 5 minutes; timed runs maximize hatches per hour. See the egg reset timers.
3. Never feed a mutated pet into fusion blindly — check whether the mutation’s effective income beats what the fusion produces. The fusion guide covers the trade.
4. Save inventory for event eggs — limited eggs carry exclusive mutation pools that do not return between events.
