About Toxic
The Toxic mutation multiplies a crop's base sell value by x15. The Cockatrice pet can apply it.
Toxic — In-Depth Analysis
The Cockatrice pet applies Toxic, and it is the only listed way to get it. According to the wiki the same bird also applies Silver at x5, so a single animal can leave either a x5 or a x15 result.
Toxic pays x15, 113th of 192, in a wide tie with CorruptChakra, Clockwork, Gilded, Gnomed, Oil, Dream, Acidic and Chakra, with Sizzled and Mineral at x18 just above.
The reason to want it is Corrosive. The wiki lists Acidic plus Toxic as its recipe, and Corrosive pays x40 against x15 for each ingredient. Acidic is the weather half of the pair, arriving during Acid Rain, so the recipe asks for one pet mutation and one weather mutation on the same crop. The Cockatrice therefore sits behind both Toxic and Silver.
