Steal An Egg Guide: Your first steps in the Forest
About
OverviewSteal an Egg is a Roblox pet-collecting game where you sneak past guardian beasts, grab eggs from their nests, and carry them back to your base to hatch pets. Every pet you hatch earns income per second, which funds speed upgrades that unlock farther biomes with rarer eggs. This guide covers the full loop — from your first Forest egg to the endgame Angels & Demons biome — and explains mutations, the Dr. Scramble event, and the Secret Shrine.

Steal An Egg
Your first steps in the Forest
Step
Forest is the only biome with no speed requirement, so it is where every run begins. There are eight pets to find here, including Chicken, Dog, Bear, Fox, and Brr Brr Patapim. Steal an egg from a nest, carry it back to your base pen, and hatch it — from that moment on the pet generates income every second.
- Head to the Forest no speed requirement means you can walk straight in from the start.
- Grab an egg from the nest the guardian here is a Chicken.
- Run back to base carrying an egg slows you down, so keep moving.
- Place the egg in your pen hatching it turns the egg into a pet that earns cash every second.
- Spend that cash on the Treadmill training there raises your speed so you can reach the Lake biome next.

Biome unlock order and speed requirements
TableThe numbers below are the entry thresholds. If you are carrying a big egg you will move slower than usual, so having a comfortable buffer above the requirement is essential before attempting a new zone.
| Biome | Speed required to enter | Guardian |
|---|---|---|
| Forest | None | Chicken |
| Lake | 900 | Swan |
| Desert | 10K | Scorpion |
| Jungle | 40K | Tiger |
| Snow | 170K | Yeti |
| Volcano | 700K | Cerberus |
| Abyss Ocean | 2.5M | Moby |
| Prehistoric | 18M | T-Rex |
| Cosmic | 700M | Cosmic Skeleton |
| Cherry Blossom | 2.5B | Oni Tiger |
| Titan Temple | 7B | Gorilla King |
| Angels & Demons | 20B | ArchAngel / World Burner / Aetheron |
Building speed with the Treadmill and Trail
TipsSpeed is the stat that gates every biome. You raise it by training on the Treadmill at your base and by upgrading your Trail. The speed shown for each biome is the bare minimum to enter — you need a noticeable buffer above it to carry large eggs home safely.
- Upgrade your Treadmill regularly; later tiers make the jump to high-speed biomes much less painful.
- The Trail also adds speed, so buy Trail upgrades whenever you have the cash.
- Clearing the entry requirement for a biome does not mean you can safely escape with a big egg — the egg's weight slows you down.
- Plan your route before stealing in a new biome so you know where the guardian is before you grab anything.
How mutations multiply your income
TableEvery pet you hatch rolls two independent traits: a color mutation and a size. Final income is calculated by multiplying the pet's base income by the color multiplier and then by the size multiplier. The examples below show how quickly these stack up.
| No mutation, base size | 1x income |
| Silver (x1.2) | roll weight 6 out of 100 |
| Golden (x2.5) | roll weight 4 out of 100 |
| Rainbow (x3.5) | roll weight 1 out of 100; rarest normal hatch |
| Fractured (x2.75) | not from normal hatching; apply a Mutation Consumable for a 10% chance |
| Scrambled (x2.75) | obtained from Dr. Scramble's Shop and applied at a 10% chance |
The Dr. Scramble event and Laboratory
StepEvery thirty minutes, Dr. Scramble arrives in his Mecha. Defeating him earns Samples and advances two separate reward tracks: the 100-tier Boss Milestone and Boss Mastery. The Laboratory also rotates three banners — Biohazard, Experimental, and Unstable DNA — each drawing pets from different egg pools, and each banner changes every three hours.
- Destroy drones Scrap, Reactor, and Augmented drones all drop Samples on defeat.
- Defeat the Mecha each victory adds one Boss Mastery point and pushes your Boss Milestone progress.
- Spend Samples in the Experiment Shop options include the Scrambled Mutation consumable, special eggs, and temporary boosters.
- Check the active Laboratory banner match it to the right pets before you trade, since each banner draws from a specific set of egg pools.
- Reach Boss Milestone Tier 100 this unlocks an Eternal pet, the top reward on the track.
Boss Mastery reward milestones
TableThese rewards are permanent unlocks tied to your cumulative point total, not to any single session.
| Mastery points needed | Pet unlocked |
|---|---|
| 10 | Eye Bat #021 |
| 25 | Citadel Snail #007 |
| 50 | Uncoiled Armadillo |
| 75 | Mecha Chompa |
| 100 | Pink Dragon Experiment #010 |
Angels & Demons biome and the Secret Shrine
CheckAngels & Demons requires 20 billion speed and is considered an endgame destination. Every night the biome shifts to either its Angel form or its Demon form, each with its own eight pets to steal. There is also a rare chance for a Merged form where both sides appear at once, granting a bonus luck effect while it lasts.
- Find the Secret Shrine hidden inside the waterfall in any version of the biome.
- Combine Pegasus and Skeleton Horse at the Shrine to craft Equinox.
- Combine ArchAngel and World Burner at the Shrine to craft Aetheron.
Bear Trap and Robux speed boosts
SummaryOutside of the Treadmill, two other systems affect how you move and compete: bear traps and purchasable speed multipliers.
- Bear trap limit 3 placed on the map at one time
- Bear trap trigger any egg-carrying player who steps on one is stuck for 7 seconds
- Bear trap restriction cannot be placed inside the safe zone
- Robux speed multipliers range from x2 (3 Robux) up to x4K (1,375 Robux)

Common questions
FAQHow often do eggs respawn in the nests?
Eggs reset every five minutes across all biomes.
Does the color of an egg affect how strong the pet inside is?
No — egg color changes the appearance of the egg and the hatched pet but has no effect on income. Judge an egg's value by its size and rarity, not its color.
What happens when I hit the pity threshold in the Laboratory?
Reaching pity guarantees the top reward from that banner instead of a random pick from the top three.
Can I raise my speed without spending Robux?
Yes. Training on the Treadmill and buying Trail upgrades both increase speed using in-game cash.
How do bear traps work against other players?
You can place up to three bear traps anywhere on the map outside the safe zone. Only a player who is currently holding an egg can trigger one, and triggering it locks them in place for seven seconds.
