* '''Clutchmates''' - In each breeding, both the Stud and Brood Wyrm owners can get a hatchling from the same pair. This only uses up one breeding for both parent Wyrms.  The genetics of each hatchling will be determined separately. These will not be twins, but clutchmates and may have different colors and features. The owners may choose to have these Wyrms for themselves, or may choose to let someone else receive the clutchmate. Each person receiving a hatchling must pay a separate fee, however.

* '''Breeding "Up"''' - Normally, most Wyrms are bred to other Wyrms of their own Species (size). However, a Wyrm can be bred "up" one size. This means that one parent must be a larger Species of Wyrm and that the hatchling will also be the larger Species of Wyrm (with the higher cost). It is easier for us to produce larger, more detailed Wyrms than it is to transfer the details of a larger Wyrm to a smaller Species. Example: A Tea-cup Wyrm could bred up to a Standard. A Standard can be bred up to a Great Wyrm. (etc. etc.) Under some very special circumstances (Size Tokens, etc.) a Wyrm may be able to breed "up" more than one size, but this is quite rare.

In the case of the 'Mutt' Mini Variety, the genetics will be somewhat random when they are bred (based on appearance), and the result of any breeding with a 'Mutt' Wyrm will be another another of the 'Mutt' variety in one of the current Species (Tea-cup or Standard).<br><br>

'''Tokens'''

Tokens are special items that are sold at conventions or in our Etsy store at various times. These can be used to give special effects during a breeding.
+
* +1 Breeding Token - Allows you to add an extra breeding to non-sterile Wyrm.
+
* 2x (Size) Token - Allows you to create an offspring up to 2x the size of a parent.
+
* Color Token - Allows you to choose one of the valid (possible) colors for your offspring.
+
* Glow Token - Guarantees that an offspring will show the glow-gene, so long as at least one of the parents is a carrier of the gene.
+
* Trait Token - Allows you to choose 'xx' 'xX' or 'XX for any single trait on the offspring. 
+
* Double Horn Token - Allows a baby to have multiple types of horns, as long as they do not take up the same place on the wyrm. (combination horns have to be approved by CruinndracFarms staff).

Wyrmhandler's Guide

This guide is meant to offer lots of information about Wyrms for prospective and current Wyrmhandlers. Wyrms are adorably cute, fuzzy creatures that come in a variety of species (sizes) as well as breeds. The best thing about them, though, is that these are not just online virtual pets. When you adopt, you get an actual Wyrm sent to you with their data-card and egg. Smaller Wyrms can be pinned onto your backpack or clothes and taken with you on your travels, while larger ones prefer to curl around your neck or guard your most treasured possessions. They come in a fantastic array of colors with lots of variations between them. In addition, at certain times of the year, your Wyrms can be bred with those of others to create brand new Wyrms!
