Mutations
hatch colours · applied mutations · stacking · size & weightMutations are the colour auras and applied effects that multiply a pet's income in Steal An Egg. They roll independently of size: a pet's aura and its weight are two separate dice, which is why the same pet can appear as a plain Huge or as a Rainbow Giant.
All multipliers below are community-measured — last cross-checked 2026-10-14. The game does not publish an official income table. See Sources & verification.
What mutations are
two layers, two sourcesHatch colours (auras)
Every hatched pet has a chance to roll a colour aura — Silver, Golden or Rainbow. It is the same dice roll for every pet in every biome: a single roll can land at most one aura, and most hatches land none.
Applied mutations
Applied mutations are not part of the normal hatch roll. Each comes from a specific source — an incubator, a consumable, an event shop or its own dedicated egg — and can be stacked on top of whatever aura the pet already rolled.
Hatch colour multipliers
rolled at hatch · one per pet| Mutation | Income multiplier | Roll odds |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | x1.2 | 6 in 100 |
| Golden | x2.5 | 4 in 100 |
| Rainbow | x3.5 | 1 in 100 |
Applied mutation multipliers
separate sources · stack with the aura| Mutation | Income multiplier | How to get it | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloom | x1.25 | Sakura Incubator (Cherry Blossom event) Event-gated — the Sakura Incubator is not currently active. | Event-gated |
| Spirit Bloom | x2.5 | Sakura Incubator at max charge Some outlets list 3x — sources disagree; we track the 2.5x figure. | Event-gated |
| Fractured | x2.75 | Mutation Consumable (10% chance) | Obtainable |
| Scrambled | x2.75 | Dr. Scramble's Shop (10% chance) | Obtainable |
| Parasite | x3 | Parasite Egg (feeding event) | Obtainable |
How multipliers stack
community sources disagree — both versions listedAdditive
1 + the sum of (each multiplier - 1). The community income calculator implements this additive rule.
Multiplicative
Multipliers applied one after another. The community formulas page shows combination examples this way (Golden + Giant = 2.5 x 3 = 7.5x total).
Unresolved. The two community sources disagree, and the in-game rule has not been officially confirmed — we list both until it is.
Sizes & weight
the second layer of the income formulaSize is independent of colour. Every hatch rolls a weight in kg separately from the aura, which is why the same pet can appear as a plain Huge or as a Golden Giant. Weight has a major effect on final income, and larger rolls keep adding value even past the point where each extra kg is worth less.
Below 125x the pet's base weight
Money/s = Base x (actual weight / base weight)^(37/60) x mutation multiplier(s)
Above 125x the pet's base weight (diminishing returns kick in)
Money/s = Base x mutation multiplier(s) x (actual weight / base weight)^(2/5) x 125^(13/60)
What the numbers mean
- 100x base weight is worth roughly 17x base value
- 200x base weight is worth roughly 23x base value
- 1000x base weight is worth roughly 45x base value
The exponents (37/60, 2/5) and the 125x soft cap are the community's fitted values — the exact in-game formula is not published.
Sources & verification
last cross-checked 2026-10-14Steal An Egg does not publish an official income table — every multiplier below is community-measured and changes with balance patches. Treat these as the community consensus, not official numbers.
Known conflicts we track: Spirit Bloom (2.5x here, some outlets list 3x) and the stacking rule (additive vs multiplicative) — both flagged in the tables above rather than silently resolved.
