✨ What Are Mutations?
Mutations are special variants of animals with unique appearances and significantly higher sell values (typically 5-15x base value). They occur randomly when feeding animals during specific weather conditions.
Weather-Based Mutations
Solar
💡 Common weather. Golden mutations are valuable!
Sunset
💡 Rare beautiful weather. Triple value bonus!
Ocean
💡 Ocean weather boosts ocean animals! Triple value!
Jellyfish
💡 Rare ocean event. Creates glowing mutations!
Volcano
💡 RARE! Highest value bonus in the game! 5x multiplier!
Disco
💡 ULTRA RARE! 10x value! The most profitable weather!
How to Trigger Mutations
Step-by-Step Process
- 1Check the current weather in-game (displayed at top of screen)
- 2Choose an animal you want to mutate - higher rarity = better mutation value
- 3Feed the animal during the desired weather condition
- 4Watch for the mutation animation (sparkles and color change)
- 5If successful, your animal will transform into a rare variant!
Important: Each feeding attempt has an independent chance to trigger a mutation. You can try multiple times on the same animal!
Mutation Success Rate Factors
Base Weather Chance
10-20%Different weather types have different base rates
Animal Rarity
+5-15%Rarer animals have slightly better mutation chances
Growth Stage
+10%Fully grown animals mutate more easily
Streak Bonus
+2% per attemptEach failed attempt increases next chance (caps at +10%)
Advanced Mutation Strategies
🎯 The "Mass Mutation" Method
Set up 10-15 animals in separate enclosures. When your desired weather appears, feed them all rapidly. This maximizes your attempts per weather cycle.
⏰ The "Weather Forecast" Strategy
The game shows a 24-hour weather forecast (added in v2.0 update). Plan your feeding sessions around predicted rare weather like Cloudy or Windy.
💎 The "Value Optimization" Approach
Focus mutations on Epic/Legendary animals only. A mutated Legendary can sell for 500K-1M Cash, while a mutated Common might only fetch 20K.

Frequently Asked Questions - How to Get Mutations
How do I get mutations in Raise Animals?
To get mutations, you need to feed your animals during specific weather conditions. Each weather type triggers different mutation types and increases the chance of getting a mutated variant. The process is:
- Wait for the right weather condition (Solar, Volcano, Disco, etc.)
- Feed your animals during that weather
- Randomly, animals may mutate into rare variants
- Mutated animals have significantly higher value (up to 10x!)
What's the best weather for getting mutations?
Disco weather gives the highest mutation chance (1% but worth it!) and +1000% value bonus. Volcano weather is second best with +500% value and better frequency (1-2 times per day). For beginners, Solar weather is easiest with +200% bonus and happens every 2-3 hours.
How to get Jellyfish mutation in Raise Animals?
Jellyfish mutations appear during Jellyfish weather events. This is a rare ocean event that happens once every 6 hours and lasts 8-12 minutes. During this time, feeding ocean animals (like Jellyfish, Sharks, Whales) has a higher chance of triggering bioluminescent or glowing mutations. The value bonus during Jellyfish weather is +200%.
Can I force a mutation to happen?
No, mutations are completely random. However, you can increase your chances by:
- Using higher rarity animals (Legendary animals mutate more often)
- Waiting for the right weather condition (Disco, Volcano, etc.)
- Feeding the same animal multiple times during one weather event
- Focusing on rare animals like Orca, Phoenix, Medusa
Do mutated animals keep their mutations permanently?
Yes! Once an animal mutates, it stays mutated permanently. You can sell it for the higher value, breed it to pass down mutations, or keep it in your collection. Mutated animals retain their special appearance and increased value forever.
