What Are Pet Mutations?
Pet mutations are special upgrades that enhance your pets’ abilities in Roblox. Added in the July 2025 update, these mutations give pets new powers like XP boosts, crop enhancements, or defensive traits. Each pet can have only one mutation at a time and mutating replaces any existing one. Mutations change your pet’s appearance and function, making them more valuable for farming and progression.
