The Pet Mutation mechanic has been confirmed as the focus of the upcoming Grow a Garden update, as the name may have given away. Per the developers’ messages on the official Discord server, it is said to improve the affected Pet’s stats and increase the number of possible Pet variants. Furthermore, Pet Mutations may also introduce new abilities for a select few critters.

Jandel, the creator of the game, posted a video on TikTok briefly showcasing the Pet Mutation station. Players will be able to access this station next to the Pet Eggs Shop. A relevant change here is that it will have a dedicated menu instead of the contents being visible in the overworld.

The exact details of these Mutations and which Pets are eligible for them are currently unknown. That said, players will only be able to mutate Level 100 Pets, which can make the mechanic somewhat restrictive.
