 Each type of Wyrm has two prices, depending on if it is a bred-baby or not. Bred Wyrms cost slightly more due to the extra work of having to chart the genetics of each Wyrm, as well as working with sometimes more complex combinations of Wyrm genes. The following are the current prices for each of the Wyrm Species. Please note that prices are subject to change depending on the cost of materials. Accepted payment types are: Paypal and Money Orders. If you don't have access to either of these payment methods, you should contact HopefulMonsterStudios prior to making a purchase to see if a different payment method can be arranged.

 === Why do some Wyrms have more breedings than others? ===
-<div style="padding-left:40px">
+<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 In general, the number of breedings a Wyrm has is determined by their rarity. The more rare a Wyrm, the less breedings they have. This is done in order to keep certain genetic traits more rare within each Type. Some more unusual hybrid/crossbreeds may not quite follow the numbers below.

The only way to get a Wyrm is to wait, be patient, and pick one up during one of the clutches, or during the next breeding season. Harassing any member of Cruinndrac Farms' staff to try and get 'hints' on when clutches will be, or to try and avoid waiting like everyone else, will only result in you irritating said staff-members. We have nerf-bats, you have been warned.

 No. Once a Wyrm breed's style has changed, any offspring will carry the current appearance for that 'breed standard'. So, for example, if you have an older style Leaf Crawler who still has the flat plating, it will pass the gene for current leaf-style plating to it's offspring. The same goes for Hybrids of changed Wyrm breeds.
-There are a few Wyrms out there with unique 'mutations' which are unrelated to style changes. These can include... Jiao-Di's without plumes, Platinum Points without horns, Angler Eels without Lures, Qui-Lins without eye-dots, etc. These 'mutations' can carry to their offspring, as they are natural variations on the breeds themselves, rather than entire style redesigns.

 However, the simple answer is that there are a number of ways to adopt a Wyrm:
 * '''Go to a convention:''' Visit a convention that Hopeful Monster Studios is attending (you can find a list [http://cruinndracfarms.deviantart.com/ HERE] under the 'Welcome Message') and stop by our booth. Tea-Cup Wyrms are usually sold in a blind-draw - where you select an egg-charm, and you don't know exactly what Breed or Type of Wyrm you will be getting, but you have some idea about the colors. There is a bit of a gamble involved, because you never know exactly what you'll get with a Tea-Cup Wyrm, but we promise that they are all adorable! Larger Species are sitting out and just waiting for new owners.
-* '''Watch us online:''' Watch our [http://cruinndracfarms.deviantart.com/ Deviantart] or [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/hopefulmonsterstudios Furaffinity] groups, and wait for a clutch to be posted for sale. They will usually be cross-posted to both sites. Tea-Cup Eggs are sold on a first-come-first-serve basis when they are posted online. A clutch of eggs will be posted onto one (or both) of our group sites, and to claim an egg, you comment on the image claiming an Egg#. Like with the convention Tea-Cups, you won't know exactly what you're getting. After we confirm that the egg is available, you send your payment, and the Egg and the hatchling that goes with it are yours. Additionally, sometimes larger Species are sold individually, or auctioned through these groups.

They will usually be cross-posted to multiple sites, but the Forums are usually the first place you'll see things. Tea-Cup Eggs are sold on a first-come-first-serve basis when they are posted online. Clutches will most likely be posted to [http://www.etsy.com/shop/HopefulMonsterStudio Etsy] to handle sales, but some may be sold on Deviantart or Furaffinity as well. Like with the convention Tea-Cups, you won't know exactly what you're getting. Additionally, sometimes larger Species are sold individually, or auctioned through these groups.
 * '''Breed a baby:''' During the breeding season, you can as people who already own Wyrms if they will breed their Wyrms together to make a new baby Wyrm for you. For more information on this, please see the [[Breeding_Guide|Breeding Guide]].
 *  '''Commission us:''' Sometimes, '''Hopeful Monster Studios''' will open commission slots, or waiting list slots. Watch our [http://cruinndracfarms.deviantart.com/ Deviantart] or '''Furaffinity''' groups to keep an eye out for slots being opened. These are only for larger Species of Wyrms (sorry, you can't commission a Tea-Cup Wyrm), but it is a great way to get a custom creation from us. Please keep in mind that we are under no obligation to take every commission requested. HopefulMonsterStudios reserves the right to refuse a commission for any reason.
