The videos with impossible numbers
Search Steal an Egg on YouTube and you'll quickly find videos with numbers that make no sense next to your own pen: a colossal rainbow Kitsune at 9 trillion per second, a 100x Aetherion at 17 trillion, an Octophant egg "bigger than the map", a 768-trillion-per-second base. They're fun to watch. They're also easy to misread.
Most of these come from a creator panel, an admin tool the developers give to some content creators. It can spawn any pet, at any size, with any mutation, and skip egg timers. As one creator explained on camera: "No matter what any YouTuber does in this server, the moment we log out and join back in, everything we did in the admin server is completely erased." Another: "I don't keep these. I got them taken away as soon as I leave the server."
So the pets aren't real progress, and neither are the numbers. But the tests still contain real information, if you know where to look.
Fantasy: absolute income values
Any number from an admin-sized egg is unreachable in a normal server. A 100x-multiplier Aetherion making $17T tells you nothing about the Aetherion you'll steal. A normal large one makes about $200B unmutated. That's why our pet database labels these readings "admin-size" and never uses them as a pet's headline value.
Even the number one player's pets, the biggest legitimate ones we've seen, top out at around 5 trillion for a heavily mutated divine. If a video shows something far above that, it's almost certainly the panel.
Useful: ratios between mutations
Here's the gem. The panel lets a creator take one egg and switch its mutation: no mutation, Silver, Golden, Scrambled, Rainbow. Because the egg size stays the same, the ratio between those readings is the true multiplier, with no size noise. That's how we measured:
- Silver ≈ 1.2x
- Golden ≈ 2.5x
- Scrambled ≈ 2.75x
- Rainbow ≈ 3.5x
The same ratios show up whether the base is $3.5M (King Snake) or $147B (World Burner), so we're confident they're the real multipliers in the current version, and higher than the Golden 2x / Rainbow 2.5x numbers that older guides repeat. The evidence table is on the mutations page.
Useful: fair comparisons between pets
The panel also lets creators spawn several divines at the same size. In normal play a small World Burner can lose to a big Archangel, so you can never compare pets cleanly. With the panel, one test spawned the Unicorn, Kitsune, Night Flame, Archangel and World Burner at matching sizes:
- Unicorn: 3.9T
- Kitsune: 7T
- Night Flame: 11.7T
- Archangel and World Burner: 19.6T each
- Aetherion: 29.1T
The absolute numbers are fantasy, but the ordering is real: later biomes have stronger divines, Archangel and World Burner are equal, and the Aetherion beats both. That ordering is the backbone of our tier list.
Useful: confirming odds and rewards
Panel videos often show menus and descriptions you rarely see in normal play:
- The Extinction egg odds: 1% for a skeletal reroll, then 0.5% for the Skeletal Sabertooth.
- Boss Mastery: 15 wins for a legendary, 100 for the Pink Dragon Experiment.
- The Unstable DNA pity at 100 mutations (about 300 eggs) for the Octophant.
- The Mecha drone divine being so rare it isn't even spawnable from the panel.
- Retired pets like the Archdemon Dragon (Demonic Egg Collection, September 4 update) and Balrog, which you can't get any more.
Misleading: the Fuse Machine "test"
One panel test fused three giant 67s, which cost $40 trillion, and got back a much smaller "19" pet. The creator concluded the machine is "busted". The real takeaway is milder: the Fuse Machine rerolls size randomly, so putting in very large pets has nowhere to go but down. With normal-sized duplicates it's a cheap gamble. See the fusion guide.
Misleading: "this pet is bad"
Panel testers sometimes dismiss pets after one spawn: "67 is dead". At admin sizes everything looks either godly or disappointing. In a real pen, what matters is whether a pet beats the weakest one you own, and that depends on your stage, not on a 92-billion admin 67.
How to watch these videos
- Ignore absolute numbers unless the creator says it's a normal server.
- Look for same-size comparisons and mutation swaps. Those ratios are gold.
- Read the menus. Odds, mastery rewards and retired pets are often shown nowhere else.
- Remember it resets. Nobody keeps panel pets.
Used this way, creator-panel videos are one of the best sources of Steal an Egg data. Used naively, they'll make you feel bad about a perfectly good pen.
