Income-first rankings for pets, mutations, and what to invest in before Cosmic and beyond.

Tier List Hub

Welcome to the Tier List Hub for Steal An Egg (fan-searched as Steal Animal Egg). Rankings on this wiki optimize for passive dollars per second, because $/s is what unlocks treadmill Speed, safer steals, and the next biome nest. Combat flashiness matters less than whether a pet funds your push from Jungle into Snow, Volcano, and the billion-Speed endgame brackets.

Use the child pages for deep tables. Use this hub to understand ranking criteria, when to reroll versus fuse, and which guides pair with each list.

Tier list pages

  • Best Pets Tier List — S through C income ranks, featuring leaders like Skeletal Sabertooth ($9B/s), Mecha Scrambler ($7.5B/s), and Aetheron (~$6.9B/s).
  • Mutations Tier List — Rainbow (~x3.5), Parasite (~x3), Golden (~x2.5), Silver (~x1.2), plus when a mutate is worth the risk.

Also read the Mutations & Fusion guide for the 3-to-1 fusion machine and the Secret Shrine recipe (ArchAngel + World Burner → Aetheron).

How we rank (October 2026 meta)

PriorityWhy it matters
Raw $/sFunds Speed; Speed funds biomes
Mutation multiplierMultiplies a strong base harder than a weak one
Biome access costA pet that appears only after 700M Speed is an endgame piece
Fusion sinksSome strong units are fuel for Aetheron-class secrets
AvailabilityCommon grind pets can beat ultra-rares you do not own yet

Trading is not live yet, so “value” rankings for trade legacy do not apply. Rank for your roster’s income, not hypothetical market prices.

Early, mid, and late priorities

Early game (Forest → Desert)

Focus on any reliable earner while you climb toward 900 Speed (Lake / Swan) and 10K Speed (Desert / Scorpion). Do not hoard eggs waiting for a mythical hatch if your treadmill is starving. Hatch, equip, upgrade Speed, then steal again. The Getting Started and How to Get Speed guides matter more than perfect tiers here.

Mid game (Jungle → Volcano)

At 40K (Jungle / Tiger), 170K (Snow / Yeti), and 700K (Volcano / Cerberus) you start seeing pets that define mid accounts. Begin targeting mutation luck on your best base units. Silver is a mild bump; Golden and above change upgrade math. Read How to Steal Eggs so deaths stop wiping runs before income scales.

Late game (Abyss → Enchanted Forest)

Breakpoints jump hard: Abyss Ocean 2.5M, Prehistoric 18M, Cosmic 700M, Cherry Blossom 2.5B, Titan Temple 7B, Angels & Demons 20B, Enchanted Forest 50B (Update 7, October 2026). At this altitude, S-tier income pets and high mutations are mandatory. Fusion becomes a deliberate project, not a curiosity — especially if you are assembling ArchAngel and World Burner for Aetheron.

How to use the lists with biomes

  1. Pick your next biome from Biomes & Speed Requirements.
  2. Estimate the $/s needed to buy that Speed without endless AFK.
  3. Check Best Pets for the highest earners you can realistically hatch or fuse.
  4. Apply mutation targets from Mutations.
  5. Only then spend long sessions in dangerous nests.

Common tier mistakes

  • Ranking a pet S-tier because it looks rare, not because it pays.
  • Mutating a weak base — a Rainbow multiplier on a low earner still underperforms a plain high earner.
  • Ignoring Speed entirely while chasing Cosmic eggs.
  • Fusing unique pieces needed for Secret Shrine recipes.
  • Believing scripts will replace roster quality — see Scripts Hub for risks, not miracles.
  • Pets Hub — rarity overview and collection framing
  • Guides Hub — mechanical walkthroughs
  • Updates Hub — when new pets or biomes shift the meta
  • Codes Hub — free gifts only; no redemption codes yet

Revisit this hub after major patches. Enchanted Forest-class updates can introduce new guardians, eggs, and income ceilings that reshuffle mid-tier names even when the top three earners stay stable.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for Steal An Egg players.

What is the strongest pet for income right now?

Community income snapshots place Skeletal Sabertooth near ~$9B/s, with Mecha Scrambler ~$7.5B/s and Aetheron ~$6.9B/s. Check the Best Pets page for full ranks.

Should I prioritize mutations or new pets?

Mutate strong bases first. Rainbow (~x3.5) on a high earner beats a fresh weak hatch. See the Mutations tier list for multiplier order.

Is trading part of the tier list?

No. Trading is not live yet, so lists optimize personal $/s and fusion goals rather than trade value.

Where do fusion recipes fit?

Use the Mutations & Fusion guide for the 3-to-1 machine and Secret Shrine (ArchAngel + World Burner = Aetheron), then slot results into Best Pets.
