Pet mutations add another layer to companion progression in Grow a Garden. Instead of only asking which pet you want, the game also gives you reasons to care about how that pet is rolled or upgraded. Some pet mutations improve XP gain, some change passive value, and some directly affect how strong or valuable the mutated pet becomes compared with its normal version.
This page keeps those mutation traits readable by separating type, chance, amount, sell multiplier, and passive text. It is meant to help you tell which pet mutations are simple collection upgrades and which ones actually matter for levelling, value, or long-term optimization.

FAQ
Does chance mean hatch chance?
No. On this page, chance refers to the tracked odds for the pet mutation itself rather than the odds of obtaining the base pet from an egg or merchant.
What does pet sell multiplier represent?
It shows the value multiplier tied to the mutated pet when that multiplier is exposed by the source data. It is useful for telling apart purely utility-focused mutations from ones that also carry extra sell value.
