Mutagen[edit | edit source]
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 level 50 Prestige reboot.
Obtaining Mutagen[edit | edit source]
There are several ways to get Mutagen.
Opening Geodes[edit | edit source]
Each Geode contains a specific level-dependent amount of Mutagen. For details refer to the distinct pages.
Buying Dinosaurs[edit | edit source]
There are several numbers of Dinosaurs bought that provide Mutagen. The following table shows these numbers. (Valid for levels 10 through 25)
Achievements[edit | edit source]
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.
