  • Rare barters (²⁄₁₀₉ or about 1.83%) are 2–4 glowstone dust, 1–3 magma cream, or 2–4 ender pearls.
  • Very rare barters (¹⁄₁₀₉ or about 0.92%) are 1 warped nylium, 1–4 nether quartz, or 1 obsidian.
• Attack adult hoglins sometimes.
  • Baby piglins do not attack and adult piglins do not attack baby hoglins.
