Bird Wings is one of the most popular mutations.

Mutations are alterations to a waja's body, such as wings, horns, gills, and much more. There are 18 different mutations on Wajas divided into two different categories - Potion mutations and Custom mutations.

Custom Mutations

Custom mutations are mutations which are only available when you create a custom Waja with a Token. The only other way to achieve custom mutations is through a Mutation Pear, which adds a random mutation to your Waja. This is risky, however, as it can add ANY of the 9 custom mutations.

Custom mutations are as follows:

In order to see examples of what custom mutations look like on various breeds and in various colors, you can use the wajas.com Custom Demo.

Potion Mutations

Potion mutations are mutations which can be applied at any time to any waja you own using the appropriate potion created by the Mad Scientist. Once added, the mutation is permanent, cannot be removed, and is inherited the same way that Custom Mutations are.

Potion mutations are as follows:

How Mutations are Inherited

Strange Pears are used to increase a Waja's MU.

Mutations are inherited according to this chart (does not factor in MU):

SHOW x SHOW: 100% of pups SHOW the mutation

SHOW x CARRY: 50% of pups SHOW, 50% CARRY

SHOW x NO: 100% of pups CARRY

CARRY x CARRY: 50% CARRY, 25% SHOW, 25% NO

CARRY x NO: 50% CARRY, 50% NO


Mutation Gene, or MU percentage also affects how mutations are inherited. The exact formula isn't well understood, though higher MU results in higher chances of a mutation in the parent showing or carrying. It is also widely believed that you must raise the MU of both parents (even if the other parent doesn't show or carry any mutations) in order to get the best chance of getting pups to show the mutation.

Mutation Pears and Monsters

The Mutation Pear item gives a Waja a random mutation when fed. All mutations obtained via mutation pear are the same color as the base color of the Waja that was peared. Since there is no limit on the number of mutation pears that can be used on a Waja, some players choose to use mutation pears on a Waja until it has all the mutations. These Wajas are often called "monsters."
