Mutagen

Mutagen is a currency in the Mesozoic Valley. Mutagen is used to upgrade Traits and carried over from rank to rank - it is not reset after triggering an Asteroid, and even persists through the Prestiges.

Obtaining

Opening Geodes

Each Geode contains a specific level-dependent amount of Mutagen. For details refer to the distinct pages.

Buying Dinosaurs

There are several numbers of Dinosaurs bought that provide Mutagen. The following table shows these numbers. (Valid for levels 10 through 25)

No. of Dinosaurs	Mutagen gained
10	Mutagen 2
25	Mutagen 4
50	Mutagen 6
100	Mutagen 10
150	Mutagen 20
250	Mutagen 40
500	Mutagen 60
600	Mutagen 80

Achievements

You can earn achievements for creating 75 or 200 of a specific dinosaur species. These achievements each give a one-off payment of fossil points and mutagen. Note that you can choose when to collect the reward, so if you reach an achievement at the end of a level, it's possible to delay the payout until the next level when it will be more useful.
