−	My initial take was that Cueball thought "Holy crap, a bird that ~~actaully~~ sings with words! That would be crazy valuable! I gotta go get it!

 :Someone did delete it all.

	So, I'm not going to outright delete it since it is rather interesting, but those are some pretty serious Undertale spoilers in the explanation. Could we give that part of the description (especially the part about the ending of the Genocide Run) some kind of spoiler tag, if we don't want to just remove it?
