Pets are one of the most important progression systems in Forge Master, offering passive damage and health that scale your survivability and overall dungeon performance. Understanding how eggs work, how to hatch them efficiently, and which pets provide the best stat value at each rarity tier will help you push deeper into the campaign and clear Invasion Dungeons more reliably.
This guide breaks down every egg type, the full pet list with stats, and the best practices for hatching and upgrading.
How to Obtain Pet Eggs
Pet eggs are exclusively earned from the Invasion Dungeon.
Each Invasion key grants two eggs by default, regardless of your stage.
You can increase the number of eggs you gain per key by upgrading the Extra Egg Chance tech tree node. This upgrade gives you a chance to receive an additional egg per dungeon key, effectively boosting long-term egg income if you run Invasions frequently.
Egg Hatching Slots
You begin with two hatching slots, which means only two eggs can be incubated at the same time.
Additional slots can be purchased:
- 3rd Slot: 200 Gems
- 4th Slot: 400 Gems
Unlocking extra slots massively speeds up your long-term progression because egg timers are fairly long, especially for high-rarity eggs.
You can also reduce hatch time by leveling up relevant tech tree nodes. This becomes especially valuable once you start earning Epic, Legendary, and Mythic eggs.
Egg Types and Pet List
Each egg type begins dropping from a specific campaign chapter, and higher-rarity eggs take longer to hatch but reward significantly stronger pets.
Common Egg
Hatch Time: 30 minutes
Drops Starting At: Stage 1-1
Common pets have modest stats but fill early-game gaps well. Their health-focused pets help stabilize the beginning chapters.

Their high early health helps you absorb hits during early campaign pushes.
Rare Egg
Hatch Time: 2 hours
Drops Starting At: Stage 1-1
Rare pets introduce more specialization. Some offer high damage, some high health, and some fill hybrid roles.

Their damage output outclasses everything else in the Rare tier, making them excellent choices for clearing fast.
Epic Egg
Hatch Time: 4 hours
Drops Starting At: Stage 1-4
Epic pets serve as the first major power spike. Their stats are dramatically higher, and many players rely on them well into mid-game.
Pets from Epic Eggs:
- Panda – 1.25k Damage | 30k Health
- Unicorn – 2.5k Damage | 20k Health
- Saber Tooth – 3.75k Damage | 10k Health
- Tiger – 3.75k Damage | 10k Health

Ideal for players who need survivability during boss-heavy chapters.
Legendary Egg
Hatch Time: 8 hours
Drops Starting At: Stage 3-1
Legendary pets bring a massive jump in stats and allow you to tackle higher-end content more comfortably.
Pets from Legendary Eggs:
- Cerberus – 12.5k Damage | 100k Health
- Kitsune – 18.75k Damage | 50k Health
- Serpent – 18.75k Damage | 50k Health
Best Legendary Pet: Kitsune or Serpent
Both deal exceptionally strong damage and pair well with players focused on aggressive builds.
Strongest Tank: Cerberus
If your dungeon runs end because you die too early, Cerberus stabilizes your survivability immediately.
Ultimate Egg
Hatch Time: 12 hours
Drops Starting At: Stage 5-1
Ultimate pets are extremely powerful and serve as a major late-game bridge into endgame progression.
Pets from Ultimate Eggs:
- Treant – 31.2k Damage | 750k Health
- Enchanted Elk – 62.5k Damage | 500k Health
- Electry – 93.5k Damage | 250k Health
Best Ultimate Pet: Electry
It has the highest damage in the entire game besides Mythic pets.
Best Tank: Treant
Its massive health pool makes it unmatched for surviving deep Invasion pushes.
Mythic Egg
Hatch Time: 32 hours
Drops Starting At: Stage 7-1
Mythic eggs are the rarest and longest to hatch. They contain the ultimate endgame pets. Their stats are currently unknown for some pets, but historically Mythic pets outperform all lower tiers by a wide margin.
Pets from Mythic Eggs (Stats Not Yet Revealed):
- Genie – Stats unknown
- Spectral Tiger – Stats unknown
- Baby Dragon – Stats unknown
Once details are released or datamined, they will be updated here. Expect them to exceed Ultimate-tier pets significantly.
Which Pets Should You Prioritize?
Here’s a progression-friendly priority list:
Early Game (Chapters 1–2)
Snail or Turtle for tanking
Spider or Scorpion for killing early waves quickly
Mid Game (Chapters 3–5)
Saber Tooth or Tiger as your primary damage
Griffin or Panda as your frontline
Late Game (Chapters 5–7)
Kitsune or Serpent for high damage
Cerberus for durability
Electry for unmatched DPS
Treant for maximum tanking
Endgame (Chapter 7+)
Mythic pets will overshadow everything once their stats are known. Expect them to become the optimal choice for all content.
Hatching Strategy
To make the most out of eggs:
- Always keep all slots active. Empty slots slow long-term progress.
- Prioritize hatching high-rarity eggs overnight.
- Use Common and Rare eggs for quick fills during active play sessions.
- Upgrade your hatch time reduction tech tree early if you aim for rapid progression.
- Buy the third and fourth hatch slots once you consistently earn higher-tier eggs.
Pets form the backbone of your long-term strength in Forge Master. Whether you need raw damage, tanking, or balanced stat distribution, every egg tier introduces something valuable to your lineup. Focus on expanding your hatch slots, upgrading your tech tree, and prioritizing the strongest pets in each rarity tier. As you push deeper into Invasion Dungeon content and unlock Mythic eggs, your pet roster will become one of the most important components of your overall power.
