Complete Mutation Guide

Mutations are special effects that can dramatically boost your pet's income. Here's everything you need to know.

Available Mutations#

Shiny (2x Multiplier)#

The most common and reliable mutation. Available for almost all pets.

Golden (2x Multiplier)#

Similar to Shiny but with a golden appearance. Also available for all pets.

Rainbow (3x Multiplier)#

Extremely rare! Only available for Kitsune and Unicorn.

Inverted (1.5x Multiplier)#

Available for Dragon and Shadow Cat. Stacks additively with size.

Ascended (5x Multiplier)#

The ultimate mutation. Quintuples income for any pet.

Stacking Rules#

Important: Multiplier mutations generally do NOT stack with each other. Only use one at a time!

Size multipliers stack additively with mutation multipliers.

Best Strategies#

Early Game#

Focus on Shiny or Golden mutations (2x boost)

Mid Game#

Late Game#

Go for Ascended mutations for maximum income

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this topic, answered concisely.

What is the best mutation in Steal An Egg?

Ascended (5x) is the strongest income mutation in Steal An Egg, but it is extremely rare. For practical play, Rainbow (3x) is the best mid-game target because it rolls on Kitsune and Unicorn — two of the highest base-income pets. Early-game players should aim for Shiny or Golden (2x) which work on every pet.

Do mutations stack in Steal An Egg?

No — only one multiplier mutation (Shiny, Golden, Rainbow, Inverted, or Ascended) can be active per pet at a time. Size multipliers from the pet's variant, however, do stack additively with the mutation multiplier, which is why a 5x Ascended on a large pet can out-earn a 1x on a small pet by 5-6x.

Which pets get the best mutations?

Rainbow is exclusive to Kitsune and Unicorn. Inverted (1.5x) only rolls on Dragon and Shadow Cat. Shiny, Golden, and Ascended can land on any pet, with the drop rate weighted by the rarity of the source pet. Kitsune has the highest ceiling because it can roll any multiplier on the highest base income.
