Platinum Points

[Aurorous]

From now on will the horns on platinum points always be placed in the "narwhal" position like on Cayenne and Pepper instead of the "unicorn" position like on Calliope? If so, if a platinum point like Calliope with a "unicorn" horn were to breed now would they pass it on in "unicorn" or "narwhal" style?

This applies to all Wyrms who have had a 'style change'.

All offspring going forward /after a change/ will throw the traits of the 'new standard style' for their breed.

That means that a platinium point as you noted, will throw the narwhal-like nose-horn.
Leaf Crawlers will throw leaf-plating.
etc.

My platinum point, Plink, does not have a horn, as she was a 'try out' for a new style that was rejected. (Hey, I still love you, Plink!)
Would her babies have the 'horn' gene?

Plink is one of only a couple of platinum points produced with that particular 'mutation'.
(read as: we were experimenting with the design, and decided to keep the horn, which is why the current version has the narwhal look)

Plink and the one other are considered to be pure-bred Platinum Points, but do not have the horn gene.
(The rest of their appearance is pretty close to the current breed standard)
Possibly, it's a mutation based on their particular environment.

In the case of Plink, this is a 'mutation' that she is missing her horn.
Thus she will not pass horn on to her offspring (though she obviously could get it from the father's side of the breeding).
Style-wise, she would still throw a current-generation Platinium Point's style (face appearance, crystal, marking positions, etc.) to her children, though.

I rather like that Plink and her clutchmate are so different and rare! At first I was sad that she did not have a horn, but once I saw her sweet face, I didn't care!
