Get to know the two mutation groups described in community coverage.
The developer confirms that mutations can improve speed. The names and categories below come from Pro Game Guides’ 19 September guide, not our own gameplay testing. Exact odds, multipliers and stacking rules are not asserted here.

How the two groups differ
Hatch mutations are reported to appear on a pet the moment it hatches. Weather mutations are reported to arrive during weather events while you play. Both groups come from community coverage rather than official documentation, so treat this grouping as a map drawn by other players — useful, but not a rulebook from the developer.
How to check a mutation yourself
Open your pet’s information in your own session and look for the mutation label shown with its name. If you want to know what a mutation actually changes for you, run the same route twice — once with the mutated pet, once without — and compare the times in the ride planner. That comparison only reflects your device, your route and your session, which is exactly what makes it trustworthy.
What is still unknown
The odds of rolling each mutation, the size of each speed bonus and whether mutations stack are not published by the developer and have not been tested here. Exact-looking numbers you see elsewhere are usually player estimates. If a precise value matters for a decision, verify it in your own game before relying on it.
