Ride A Pet Mutations: All 8 & Multipliers

Mutations are Ride A Pet's income multiplier system: eight mutations, granted through weather events, that multiply what a pet earns on your plot. They run from Shocked at 2x to Eternal at 100x — a range wide enough that a single high mutation changes your entire economy. This page is the full table and the strategy around it.

The mutation table

Eight mutations exist as of the Mutations update. Six are named across confirmable sources; two remain partially documented:

Mutation	Multiplier	Confidence
Shocked	2x	Confirmed (multiple guides)
Gold	2x	Confirmed (multiple guides)
Volted	3x	Confirmed (multiple guides)
Rage	Unconfirmed multiplier	Named in source pools
Void	Unconfirmed multiplier	Named in source pools
Eternal	100x	Confirmed (top of the range)
7th and 8th mutations	Names unconfirmed	Pools reference "8 total"

The range endpoints are the load-bearing numbers: the floor is Shocked and Gold at 2x, the ceiling is Eternal at 100x. Everything between scales accordingly.

Where mutations come from

Mutations have exactly one source: weather events. When a weather event starts, it lasts five minutes, and pets caught in the window can pick up that event's mutation. The confirmed event names map to their mutations — Shocked, Volted, Rage, Void, Eternal-style storms.

What mutations multiply

A mutation multiplies a pet's earnings and value. Two consequences:

• Nest income scales violently. A Phoenix already earns about 100,000 cash per second; a high-tier mutation turns that into a sixth or seven-figure sum. This is why endgame money guides start with "get your best earner mutated."
• Trading value scales with it. The community Discord runs trading channels where mutation tier is the primary price factor.

The step-by-step process — positioning pets before the event, rerolling at the Mutation Machine, budgeting rerolls — is in the how to mutate pets guide.

The mutation economy

Mutation multipliers stack with the rest of your economy, not instead of it:

• Plot income = pet base income × mutation multiplier.
• Rebirth multipliers then multiply your cash gains again (up to +7x per second after Rebirth 7 by community counts).
• Version boosts like the Update 2 x2 Cash event apply on top while active.

This is why the late game is a multiplier-hunting loop: rebirth for permanent money multipliers, weather events for pet mutations, and rare eggs for pets worth mutating. The rebirth guide and the money guide cover the other two layers.

Which pets to mutate

One rule: mutate your best nest earner first. The multiplier applies to the pet's income, so the biggest base gain wins — usually your Phoenix-class pet, eventually your Dragon. Mount pets can wait; they earn nothing while riding.

Rerolling at the Mutation Machine

The Mutation Machine rerolls a pet's mutation for a cost. Community guidance:

• Reroll toward the top of the table — even Volted at 3x over a 2x is meaningful, and Eternal at 100x is a jackpot.
• Set a reroll budget per session. Costs accumulate, and the exact reroll pricing is unconfirmed in the sources we track, so treat early rerolls as exploratory.
• Do not reroll mount pets. Their value is speed, and the machine only moves their income multiplier.

Weather event discipline

Five-minute windows reward preparation:

• Know which pets you want mutated before the event starts.
• Keep them out of long egg hauls during event windows.
• If the event is a low-tier storm, skip the reroll budget and wait for the next one.

Why mutations matter more than almost anything late

Every economy in Ride A Pet eventually hits the same wall: pet base income grows slowly, and rebirth multipliers arrive on a schedule. Mutations are the multiplier you control week to week. A 100x Eternal on your best earner does not incrementally improve your income — it redefines it, which is why endgame money guides treat weather events as appointments rather than ambience.

The five-minute window, respectably used

Weather events last five minutes. That is enough time to mutate a prepared pet and nothing more. The prepared player has already decided which pet is getting the roll, has it standing on the plot, and has a reroll budget set. The unprepared player is mid-haul on the far side of the map. The mutation system rewards the same skill as rare egg racing — reading the server's clock — through a completely different mechanism.

Mutation tier priorities

Not all rolls deserve the same reaction:

Roll	Correct response
2x (Shocked, Gold)	Fine from a weak storm; reroll candidate from a strong one
3x (Volted)	Keep in most storms; the breakpoint where income visibly jumps
Rage / Void	Multipliers unconfirmed — treat as mid-tier until verified
Eternal (100x)	Jackpot. Protect the pet; it is now your economy's center of gravity

Interactions with every other system

• Nests. The multiplier applies to the pet's plot income, so it compounds with every income upgrade you will ever make.
• Rebirths. Permanent cash multipliers stack on top of mutated income — the rebirth guide covers the ladder.
• Trading. The Discord's trading channels price mutations directly; high tiers are portable wealth.
• Eggs. No interaction — mutations never roll at hatch, and any guide saying otherwise has confused two systems.

Frequently asked questions

How many mutations are there? Eight as of the Mutations update, per multiple guides; six are commonly named, and the last two are inconsistently documented (unconfirmed).

Can I remove a mutation I dislike? The Mutation Machine rerolls rather than removes — expect a result, not a blank slate.

Do wild spawns carry mutations? No confirmed source describes mutated hatches from eggs; mutations attach through weather events.

What is the best mutation in the game? Eternal at 100x, confirmed as the top of the range. Full context in the mutation table above.
