All Abyss Mutations & Multipliers (February 2026) Ultimate Guide

If you’ve been playing Roblox Abyss and wondering why some fish glow, look golden, or appear nearly invisible that’s mutations at work. Mutations are random visual modifiers that spawn on fish and directly multiply their sell value. Knowing which mutations to hunt and where to find them is one of the fastest ways to earn money in Abyss.

Event Mutations (March 2026)

These mutations are only available during limited-time events:

Best Mutations to Hunt

Abyssal (8.5x) is the crown jewel, a fish worth $100 sells for $850 with this mutation. It gives fish a deep blue body with glowing parts, making them easy to spot despite their rarity. Angelic (7.77x) gives fish a bright yellow glow and is required for Mr Black’s “The Final Depth” quest. Shadow (6.66x) is the most practical ultra-rare to farm it’s more common than Abyssal and Angelic, making it the go-to target for efficient money runs.

For mid-tier farming, Rooted (4.2x) and Ultraviolet (3.6x) offer strong returns. Rooted only spawns at Spirit Roots, so focus your time there if you want a consistent high-value grind.

Avoid Poop (0.33x) — it actually cuts your fish’s sell value by 67%.

How to Identify Mutations?

Each mutation has a distinct visual cue:

• Golden: Gold body with dollar signs floating around it
• Neon: Full glowing effect, very easy to spot
• Shadow: Transparent black with red eyes
• Invisible: Nearly see-through with just a faint outline hardest to spot
• Angelic: Bright yellow coloring
• Abyssal: Deep blue with glowing sections

Use the radar at Richard’s bestiary stall in Forgotten Deep to detect mutations from farther away essential for tracking invisible or camouflaged mutations.

Tips for Farming Rare Mutations

Use a Drop Luck Potion (+30% Fish Drop Luck for 15 minutes) before any serious mutation farming session it meaningfully improves your odds of encountering mutated fish. The Crimson Shard artifact also boosts Drop Luck by 50%, though it reduces Strength by 15%.

Server hop frequently. Since mutations are pure RNG, jumping to a new server resets the fish pool and gives you fresh spawn chances. Focus on high fish density zones more fish spawning means more mutation rolls per minute.

For location-specific mutations like Rooted, Fairy, and Spirit, anchor yourself at Spirit Roots. For Sand, Cactus, and Fossil, stay at Ancient Sands.

FAQ

What is the rarest mutation in Abyss?

Sand, Cactus, and Fossil spawn only at Ancient Sands. Spirit, Fairy, and Rooted spawn only at Spirit Roots. All other mutations can appear anywhere in Abyss.
