Traits in Catch And Tame are pet modifiers rolled through the Trait Machine. The machine costs $1,000,000, uses one primary pet, and destroys 3 to 10 sacrifice pets for each roll.
Each trait changes how a pet helps your pen, breeding loop, egg output, or map movement. Higher-rarity sacrifices improve luck, and rerolling replaces existing traits, so it is usually better to roll on pets you plan to keep instead of throwaway animals.

The Trait Machine matters most after you already have pets worth improving. A low-value pet with a good roll can still be worse than a strong breeder or high-BPS pet with a practical bonus, so choose the primary pet before spending rare sacrifices.
Sacrifice rarity affects the roll quality. The listed luck boost per slot is 1500% for Mythic, 800% for Legendary, 400% for Epic, 100% for Rare, and 10% for Common. Filling more sacrifice slots with better pets gives the roll its best chance, but those pets are permanently destroyed.
A pet can hold up to 3 traits. Rerolling clears the current set, which makes early planning important for expensive pets, breeders, and any pet you use for travel.
