gollark: I would consider them an annoying caveblocker, but people pick them up for some reason.
gollark: Does anybody?
gollark: It happened to me kind of recently (last week or something); I put up a CB Truffle egg and got a CB Xenowyrm. A Golden Wyvern (seemingly not rare, but far rarer than truffles) didn't get any offers whatsoever.
