Species: Draco mechanis aurem

The “Golden Mechanoid Dragon”

Common name: The Clanking Gold Sniffer

Notes: The mechanis genus of dragons is a unique breed, as they are entirely man made. The Gold Sniffer is among the first mechanoid dragons created, with the intent of locating gold with ease. They were also among the first mechanoids to gain sentience, a phenomenon still being studied today. Thanks to new laws, a mechanoid that gains sentience is to be freed into the wild. Wild Gold Sniffers live in caves and build their dens from the gold they are compelled to search for.
