Catch And Tame tier list — best animals ranked

The top of the income table and an event gate. If you own one, protect it — it cannot be farmed year-round.

Highest-income non-Secret pet and the hub of the endgame breeding tree.

The classic first Mythical. Catchable in theory, bred in practice, and a parent for the Galaxy line.

Best-earning Legendary and a Mythical shortcut. Worth building your whole dawn routine around.

Strong income plus double breeding duty. The single most useful Legendary to stockpile.

The Mythical to target first. Low difficulty, high income, and two Galaxy recipes depend on it.

The most accessible Legendary because it has no weather lock. First Legendary for most pens.

Easiest Legendary to catch if you play at night, and the gateway parent into the Kitsune line.

Highest-earning Epic and a Leopard breeding parent. The backbone of a mid-game pen.

The most schedule-friendly Epic. No weather window needed, so it is ideal filler between event cycles.

A night-locked Epic that is easier to breed than to catch. Good income, awkward schedule.

The best risk-adjusted Epic. Catch koalas while you are still losing lions and tigers.

Best Rare income and a breeding parent. The natural pen upgrade once the Forest is safe for you.

Mid-Rare income, and the cheapest proof that your breeding pen works — Wolf + Bear produces it at 32%.

The desert's reliable Rare. Equal to Zebra in income but easier to farm with a Sandstorm active.

Your first real income jump and a breeding parent. Two wolves roughly equal four goats.

The correct Common to farm. Five dollars a second each adds up while you save for the Storm Wrangler.

Slightly better than a Chicken and just as safe. A fine second or third pen slot, replaced by Rare tier quickly.

The first animal almost every player pens. Its value is not income, it is unlocking your first pen slots and cash flow.
