You walk through the sweltering, humid heat of the scarred wasteland. Sweat sets upon your brow, and you feel yourself beginning to fall victim to the environment like many have before you. A lingering, imposing ‘mountain’ rises in the distance, and as your eyes close and you prepare for the worst, you begin to witness a massive swarm erupt from the top of the structure.Suddenly, you awake.
It’s cool, though still dank and damp in this dark place. Outside of wherever you are, you hear the bustling and hushed half-whispers of underground deals and secretive goods. You attempt to listen in, only to find a throbbing headache has made its way into your skull. Clutching your forehead, you see, out of the corner of your eye, a team of four dragons escorting a fifth. They stop right before you, readying to attack before the fifth raises an eyebrow and a claw. They gingerly reach forward and draw the tarp off of you.
“… What in the-?! That is NOT a Broodling! Are your eyes broke? They don’t seem broke! That’s a dragon! That’s a whole person! With thoughts! A soul!” One of the bodyguards stepped in. “Uh, sir… maybe we can still sell them-“ a slap rung out through the chamber. “NO, idiot! We DON’T sell dragons! The closest we’re allowed to get to that is selling abandoned eggs, and that’s NOT our business! This may be a shady market full of illegal trade of dangerous weapons and defunct children’s toys filled with arcane chalcedony, but we’re above that!” A guard raised a finger before being shouted at again. “NO the Broodlings do NOT count! They’re… they’re uh…” the fifth motioned with their claws for a few moments before piping up again. “They’re their own thing, not a single thought behind their eyes, and look at this ones eyes! Do you SEE how many thoughts are behind the eyes of that poor potential customer?!”
The fifth sighed before redirecting their attention to you. “We’re so sorry about the situation you’re in, but…!” They clapped their hands together. “I know how to make it up to you!” They harshly tug on your arm, dragging you along with them through the rest of their den, leading you through a series of tunnels until they hit a cavern filled with cages. Bringing you over to one, they nod to it.
You reach forward to inspect the cage. A beastly screech rang out and much clattering. “… Yep! That’s what we sell here! Just, uh… don’t get too close. I don’t like losing customers and getting lawsuits. For whatever purpose you need em for, we’ll sell em! They’re like guard dogs, or pets or something! Just… phylogenically related to you and… might bite your face off. Anyways!” They postured themselves to ask their final question before your final decision…
WELCOME TO THE HIVES, A BROODLING HATCHERY!
Here at the hives, our number one business is bugs, and not just bugs! Bugs shaped oddly like dragons! Or, maybe, dragons evolved oddly similarly to bugs! But nevermind that! Don’t think about it too hard! In this forum post, we’ll take you through all the info, and the process it takes to get these things readied for selling! After that, we’ll list the prices, and you can head over to the lair to pick out your very own Broodling! Oh, and, yes, there is some very fine print at the bottom. Don’t worry about that.

HOW IT’S MADE: BROODLING SELLING
Broodling selling is a business that’s only recently opened up to the public with the recent surge of Broodling activity after the events of the Bounty of the Elements. Now, how exactly are Broodlings taken in for the hatchery?
Are they bred, like in other hatcheries?
Well yes, and no!
Like all living things, Broodlings have to come from somewhere. They come from BroodLords and BroodQueens. However, they aren’t immediately born into our hatchery! As we cannot breed them ourselves, we have to wait for wild Lords and Queens to breed them for us. Once that happens, we tranquilize any stray Broodling specimens and ready them for selling!
How is a Broodling readied for selling?
First, the pheremone glands are blocked with tissue paper.
Then, they are put in a wooden crate as a funny reference to the Madagascar movie franchise!
They are then taken to the hatchery to be kept in secure enclosures, with the last Broodling related incident in our workplace being
After a while, someone may then want a Broodling. Once this happens, we do the whole tranq-n-trap process all over again, except instead of a secur enclosure, we just dump them right in the middle of the clan of the buyer, and hope that they find a good place to keep it
BROODLING PRICES
Prices for Broodlings start at 10000 treasure, or the gem equivalent!
HOWEVER…
We do have discounts!
Discounts include:
Prices lowered to 7000 treasure for plague lairs!
Prices lowered by 1000 treasure per each gem thrown into the deal!

So, with each Broodling purchase, you’ll get the added bonus of a feeling of warmth in your heart from knowing you saved all those poor dragons fighting for the Plaguebringer from having to deal with a ravenous dragon-eating bugbeast in their ranks!
TERMS OF SERVICE WHEN BUYING FROM THE HATCHERY
The Hives hatchery is not responsible for mailings, missing dragons, destroyed clans, emptied food supplies, shed dragon sized molts everywhere, annoying cricket noises in the middle of the night, annoying screeching, broken bones, missing limbs, death, funny looks form strangers, or any unfortunate event occurring after the purchase of a Broodling.
Now have fun buying yourself a Broodling!
