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:

  • Bat Wings
  • Bird Wings
  • Butterfly Wings
  • Leg Feathers
  • Mane
  • Prehistoric Horns
  • Ram Horns
  • Saber Fangs
  • Unihorn

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:

  • Alien Eyes
  • Antennae
  • Forked Tongue
  • Gills
  • Neckbolts
  • Raptor Claws
  • Rhino Horn
  • Shoulder Eyes
  • Tail Spikes

How Mutations are Inherited

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 speculated that an MU of 100 in BOTH parents increases the likelihood of a pup being born with SHOW instead of CARRY by roughly 50%.

Examples

Here are examples of what both kinds of mutations look like on a markingless white Normal waja. To see what a mutation would look like on another breed/color/etc, please use the wajas.com Custom Demo.
