Special hatch is a new form of pet hatching, but you can control everything the resulting pet gets. Including the species, talents, stats, and what it would gain via level up. But this kind of hatch is very costly. To hatch, one must have twice as much gold AND 2500 crowns. On top of that, the hatch may fail, but only the gold is lost. The egg cannot be traded between accounts(ever), cannot be used in another hatch, takes twice as long to hatch, and only gains half the exp from games and feeding(unless the amount gained is one exp). Generally, great idea but with great costs. Feel free to make the costs even greater.
