Mutations in Catch And Tame are special pet variants that change income value and sometimes tie into weather or event systems. The biggest boosts come from wild-spawn mutations such as Shiny, Neon, Glass, and Rainbow, while weather mutations depend on events like Bloodmoon, Cosmic Shower, Blizzard, Thunderstorm, and Volcanic Eruption.
A mutation matters most when it lands on a pet with strong base BPS. A 4x Shiny low-value animal can still be weaker than a smaller multiplier on a rare pet, so the real decision is the pet's base value plus the mutation route.
section
Wild spawn mutations
Wild-spawn upgrades are the easiest to judge after capture: keep them when the pet's base BPS is already worth pen space, and replace low-value animals even if the visual roll looks rare.

section
Event and machine mutations
Event and machine routes are narrower collection targets. Treat them as planned event progress first and raw income upgrades second unless the multiplier is landing on a pet you already use.
Lovestruck
Event-linked income multiplier.
- Category
- Event
- multiplier
- 2.25x
- trigger
- Valentine's Weather
- acquisition
- Collect Chocolate Hearts during Valentine's Weather and feed them to pets.
- best use
- Use on pets you expect to keep, because the event source is narrower than normal wild spawns.
Cupid
Event-linked income multiplier.

- Event
- multiplier
- 1.2x
- trigger
- Valentine's Weather
- acquisition
- Combine 5 of the same pet during Valentine's Weather to receive one Cupid version.
- best use
- Useful for event collection progress, but lower income value than Lovestruck.
Skeletal
Event machine income multiplier.
- Category
- Event machine
- multiplier
- 1.1x
- trigger
- Gravebound Weather
- acquisition
- Place any pet into the Mutation Machine during Gravebound Weather.
- best use
- Use for Skeleton-event collection routes rather than raw income, since the multiplier is small.
Wild mutations are the cleanest income chase because the animal can appear already mutated on the map. Shiny is the strongest listed boost at 4x, followed by Neon at 3.5x and Glass at 3x. Rainbow, Gold, and Albino are still useful, but they become easier to replace once stronger variants appear.
Weather mutations are more situational. Bloodbound needs Bloodmoon Weather and Bloodmoon Grapes, while Cosmic, Frozen, Fractured, Charged, Seabound, and Volcanic depend on specific weather states. These mutations are strongest when the pen already has pets worth upgrading before the weather window ends.
Event and machine mutations have narrower routes. Lovestruck and Cupid belong to Valentine's Weather, while Skeletal is tied to Gravebound Weather and the Mutation Machine. These are good collection targets, but the lower multipliers make them less important than Shiny, Neon, Glass, Rainbow, or Bloodbound for raw income.
FAQ
What is the best Catch And Tame mutation?
Shiny has the highest listed multiplier at 4x, followed by Neon at 3.5x and Glass at 3x.
Do Catch And Tame mutations only come from wild animals?
No. Some mutations appear on wild animals, but others come from weather, event items, Admin Cloud, or event-machine routes.
Which mutation is best on a high-BPS pet?
Shiny is the best listed option at 4x. Neon, Glass, Rainbow, and Bloodbound are also strong enough to save for pets that already earn well.
Why do some mutations have low multipliers?
Some weather or event mutations are more about collection progress or event timing than raw income. A 1.1x or 1.2x mutation can still help, but it is not as important as the 2.5x-plus rows.
