Other Legendary pets
Axolotl guide
At $2.8K/s, the Axolotl is the Legendary of Lake and the second-best pet in that biome, behind only the Cosmic Leviathan. It ranks 18th of 21 among Legendaries and 165th of 198 overall.
The Axolotl Egg
The egg follows the same 5-minute timer as the Forest's Brr Brr Patapim and pays +4k Speed and $280k. For that identical wait, the Axolotl earns about 55% more than Patapim and gives four times the Speed.
A 5-minute egg lines up with the 5-minute nest reset the wiki describes, so one Axolotl roughly costs one full cycle of a pen slot. Two Axolotl eggs plus one Catfish bring you to 10,500 Speed, past the 10K that Desert requires.
How long it stays relevant
The Axolotl has a short shelf life once you reach the Desert. The Snake, the Desert's Legendary, earns $3.6K/s from an egg that takes only 2 minutes 30 seconds, half the Axolotl's wait for 30% more income. Above the Axolotl inside Lake there is a huge gap: the Leviathan earns $220K/s, nearly 80 times as much, but its egg needs 25 minutes.
Mutation and weight estimates
With a light 28 kg base, the Axolotl's size rolls go a long way. From the wiki's formula:
- Golden: about $7K/s
- Rainbow: about $9.8K/s
- 10 times base weight: about $11.6K/s
- 100 times base weight: about $47.9K/s
- 200 times base weight: about $66.4K/s
- Rainbow at 100 times base weight: about $168K/s
A Golden Axolotl beats a plain Snake by almost double, so mutated copies are worth keeping well into the Desert and Jungle.
