gollark: Rare as determined by breeding ratio or whatever, though?

gollark: As I always say, "hunting is very annoying".

gollark: The creep thing applies to breedings too, but since there's a gap between corporealizing and breeding it's increased a bit.

gollark: Possibly 5, because of time creep or whatever.

gollark: They are definitely on here.
