Steal an Egg Pets Tier List: Best Pets Ranked by Cash & Speed (2026)

Welcome to the Steal an Egg pets tier list. Every pet in Steal an Egg generates passive cash per second and may carry a movement speed bonus that helps you carry heavier eggs. This tier list ranks all hatchable pets by their effective value — a combination of cash generation, speed multiplier, and rarity accessibility.

Pets are sorted into four tiers: S (Mythic & Divine), A (Legendary), B (Epic), and C (Rare & Common). Within each tier, pets are ordered by overall value to your progression.

Tier List Summary

S Tier — Mythic & Divine Pets

S Tier pets are the endgame income engines. They drop from the deepest biomes (Volcano through Cosmic) and generate massive cash per second. Most also carry top-tier speed bonuses that make multi-egg Cosmic runs viable. If you hatch an S Tier pet, place it in your pen immediately.

• Dragon — the crown of the Cosmic biome. Highest cash per second in the game and a substantial speed bonus. Drops only from Divine and Secret eggs in the Cosmic biome (700M minimum speed).
• Phoenix — a Mythic-tier fire pet from the Volcano biome. Strong cash generation with a moderate speed bonus. More accessible than the Dragon but still endgame.
• Golden Hydra — a Mythic multi-headed beast with excellent cash output. Often sought after for its high income-to-slot ratio.

Pro Tip: S Tier pets are the primary reason to invest in the Lucky Hatch Gamepass and any active luck boost codes. Stack every luck source you have during Cosmic and Prehistoric egg hatching to maximize your S Tier pull rate. See our Codes page for the latest confirmed codes.

A Tier — Legendary Pets

A Tier pets are the workhorses of mid-to-late game progression. They drop from the Jungle, Snow, and Volcano biomes and generate excellent cash per second — enough to fund treadmill upgrades toward the Abyss Ocean and Prehistoric thresholds. Most A Tier pets also carry useful speed bonuses.

• Bear — a durable Legendary from the Snow biome. Strong cash generation with a small speed bonus.
• Tiger — the signature Legendary of the Jungle biome. Balanced cash and speed stats.
• Shadow Wolf — a fast Legendary with a notable speed bonus. Popular for players pushing into the Volcano biome.

A Tier pets are the realistic target for players in the mid-game. Fuse duplicates aggressively to push them toward Mythic tiers.

B Tier — Epic Pets

B Tier pets are solid early-to-mid game income generators. They drop from the Desert and Jungle biomes and provide enough cash to fund treadmill leveling toward the Snow and Volcano thresholds. B Tier pets are also the primary fuse fuel for pushing into A Tier.

• Eagle — an Epic pet from the Desert biome. Moderate cash generation with a small speed bonus.
• Crocodile — an Epic pet with strong cash output for its tier.
• Gorilla — an Epic pet with balanced stats, useful in the mid-game pen.

B Tier pets are the workhorses of the Desert-to-Jungle phase. Don't hoard them — fuse three duplicates into an A Tier pet as soon as you can.

C Tier — Rare & Common Pets

C Tier pets are starter income generators. They drop from the Forest and Lake biomes and produce enough cash to fund your first treadmill unlock and early garden expansions. C Tier pets are also essential for Pet Index milestones — discovering each new species grants free traps and cash bonuses.

• Dog — the most common starter pet. Low cash output but reliable early income.
• Cat — a Common pet with slightly different stat distribution than the Dog.
• Bunny — a Common pet from the Forest biome.
• Chicken — a Common pet that also doubles as the Forest biome guardian. Hatching one is almost guaranteed in your first few Forest eggs.

C Tier pets are not long-term pen residents. Fuse three duplicates into a B Tier pet as soon as you have enough to clear the Desert biome minimum speed.

How to Use This Tier List

• Early game (Forest to Lake): Fill your pen with C Tier pets. Claim every Pet Index milestone. Fuse toward B Tier.
• Mid game (Desert to Snow): Replace C Tier pets with B and A Tier pets from deeper biomes. Fuse toward A Tier.
• Late game (Volcano to Prehistoric): Pen should be mostly A and S Tier. Fuse toward S Tier.
• Endgame (Cosmic): Pen should be entirely S Tier. Stack luck boosts during Cosmic egg hatching.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best pet in Steal an Egg?

The Dragon, dropping only from Divine and Secret eggs in the Cosmic biome, is widely considered the best pet due to its top-tier cash generation and speed bonus. However, it requires 700M minimum speed to access the Cosmic biome.

How do I get S Tier pets?

Steal eggs from the Volcano, Abyss Ocean, Prehistoric, and Cosmic biomes. Stack luck boosts (Lucky Hatch Gamepass + any active luck boost codes) during hatching to maximize S Tier pull rates.

Should I fuse or keep duplicates?

Fuse aggressively. Three duplicate pets in three pen slots are almost always worse than one upgraded pet in one slot. The freed slots can house additional income pets.

Do mutations change a pet's tier?

Mutations (Golden, Rainbow, Giant) multiply a pet's base stats but don't change its species tier. A Golden Dog is still a C Tier pet, just with 2x income. See our Pet Mutations Guide for the full multiplier list.

Where can I find rare pets?
