BEST INCOME PETS IN GAG2
Pets that multiply your mutation earnings. Ranked from the GAG2 Calculator database — real values, honest reasoning.
Income pets multiply the value of your best crops instead of adding a flat bonus, so they only get stronger as your garden improves. Build toward these to compound your Sheckle-per-hour.
Unicorn4M value
Doubles your Rainbow mutation chance — Rainbow being the strongest evergreen multiplier — so it stacks directly into your biggest routine sales. The end-goal income pet.
Golden Dragonfly3M value
Doubles Gold-roll chance and costs far less than a Unicorn; the standard first income investment for a steady uplift on everyday harvests.
Deer50K value
10% faster plant growth (20% as a Big variant) across the whole plot — more harvests per hour is exactly what a developing economy needs.
Monkey1M value
Auto-gathers ripe fruit on large multi-harvest plots, turning wasted walking time into more effective harvesting.

How to use this ranking.
Income pets are ranked by how much of your best sales they touch, because these abilities multiply value rather than adding a flat bonus — they only get stronger as your garden improves. That is the whole logic of the order: the Unicorn doubles your chance at Rainbow, the strongest evergreen mutation at ×30, so it stacks straight into your biggest routine sales; the Golden Dragonfly doubles Gold, the ×10 everyday multiplier; the Deer speeds every plant's growth by 10% (20% as a Big variant); and the Monkey saves harvesting time on a large plot.
Build toward them in cost order. The Deer is the smart opening hatch — realistic at 20% from the Common Egg and a huge 60% from the Epic Egg — and its plot-wide growth boost compounds from day one. The Golden Dragonfly is the standard next step at around 3,000,000 Sheckles, giving a reliable uplift long before you can afford a Unicorn. The Unicorn is the end goal, and the Epic Egg's 30% rate is by far the fastest route to one if you can earn the egg.
The caveat worth stating plainly: a mutation-chance pet only pays if you are actually rolling mutations on high-base, multi-harvest crops. A Unicorn over a plot of starter greens does very little. Pair these pets with the crops from the money list, and use /calculator to see exactly what doubling a mutation chance does to your Sheckle-per-hour before you commit the grind.
