Pets
Browse every Ride A Pet pet group by rarity and speed, from starter commons to secret-tier hatches, and learn which pets are actually worth mounting.
Introduction
Pets are the only thing you collect in Ride A Pet, and every one of them exists to answer a single question: how fast can you move? Each pet you hatch carries a speed readout measured in miles per hour, and that number is what lets you cross the map to eggs you could never reach on foot. Pets arrive in rarity bands, from commons pulled out of the nearest nest to endgame hatches advertised in promotional artwork at odds in the "1 in 50Qa" range. Because mutation multiplies a pet's base speed, the pet you actually ride is a combination of its rarity and whatever multiplier you have rolled onto it. This hub covers how the pool is structured, what each band is realistically worth, and how to choose which pet deserves your mount slot.

Core Mechanics
Every pet in Ride A Pet comes from an egg, and each egg holds its own pool of possible pets across several rarity bands. When you hatch, the game rolls against that pool and drops the result straight into your inventory with its own speed value. You then mount one pet at a time; the mounted pet sets your movement speed, and nothing else does. Rarity controls both how low the odds are and how high the speed ceiling goes, which is why an egg further from spawn is worth the journey even before you know what is inside. Mutations layer on top of the base value rather than replacing it, so the same pet can be re-rolled into something much faster. Storage matters too, since a full backpack forces you to stop and manage inventory mid-route.
Advantages
The pet system is unusually clean for a Roblox collector. There is no combat stat, no element chart and no team composition to learn: one number, speed, decides everything, so a new player can look at two pets and immediately know which is better. Because eggs sit in the world, every pet has a visible origin, and you know roughly where it came from and what it cost in travel time. Rarity bands give the collection a readable ladder to climb, from the first common you hatch to the secret-tier hatches shown in promotional material, and mutation gives even an old pet a reason to stay relevant. Six-player servers also mean the map is never stripped clean by a crowd.
Challenges
Two honest problems shape the pet hunt. First, the developer's official description does not list pet names, individual speed values or exact odds, so anything specific you read, including the names in promotional artwork, is either marketing material or community report rather than confirmed data. We hedge those claims and you should too. Second, the top of the pool is genuinely punishing: odds advertised in the extreme "1 in 50Qa" range mean most accounts will never hatch the headline pets, and grinding one nest for a single roll is a poor use of time. Storage is another limit, since a full backpack interrupts routes, and any update can quietly demote a pet you invested in.

Quick Tips
Judge every pet by one number and ignore everything else. Ride A Pet has no combat, no elements and no team slots, so a pet is exactly as good as the speed it gives you while mounted. Before you get attached to a rare hatch, mount it and check whether it actually beats what you were riding. If it does not, store it and move on, because rarity alone never earns a mount slot.
Keep a second copy of your best pet purely as a mutation target. Mutation multiplies a pet's base speed, so the best possible outcome is a high multiplier landing on your highest-speed pet. Saving a duplicate means you can roll on the spare while staying mounted on your current best, and you only swap after the roll beats it. Never mutate your only copy unless you would happily ride the result.
Reach further eggs by upgrading your mount before you upgrade anything else. The distance between you and a nest is a speed check rather than a level check, so a faster pet is the key that opens every later pool. If a route feels impossible, that is usually a signal to improve your mount rather than to grind the egg you can already reach. Speed first, then everything else.
Claim the Like and group-join rewards as a free early pet fund. Neither expires: they are permanent one-tap buttons that pay out cash you can convert straight into hatches. Claiming them on day one funds several extra rolls at the nearest nest, which is often where your first real speed jump comes from. There is no other source of free currency in this game, so those two buttons are the entire list.
Do not grind one nest for a headline promo pet. Artwork advertises odds in the "1 in 50Qa" range and high-MPH renders, but those numbers describe marketing material rather than a farming plan. Hundreds of rolls at a single egg is the slowest possible way to improve an account. Spend the same time clearing a route across several nests, and you build both a stronger pet pool and a healthier cash balance.
