The mechanical dragonlings engineers craft in Azeroth are bigger than that, but they're built for combat.

[Innnnnteresting. He loves himself some impractical-but-flashy weapons.] How large are they?

[lifeafterhope]

[Have some return diagrams, though they're not especially detailed, more like sketches, and some parts of them are a little fudged. It's about the size of a medium-large dog.] Something like that, though I've never tried to build one. ...They do flap, though.

[He looks them over.] Given the size, the frame must be extremely lightweight. Is it hollow? Or... is something like 'magic' involved?

...what good news? [SO CAUTIOUS.]

[WHY SO CAUTIOUS, BRO?]

Ana came back. [If you don't know his sister's name, HE WILL CUT YOU.]

[Good news that is actually good news! And not...good news for one person and bad news for another...which was what he expected. And so he's mostly happy.]

Really?

Where is she? I haven't seen anything.

Laying low. She's staying off the grid for a while.

Perhaps it could be slain by toy soldiers.

[stopthat_destro]

It would certainly present them with a challenge.

[iam_aghost]

Only as much of a challenge as a man against an actual dragon.

[stopthat_destro]

Then the next order of business is to build a few mechanical toy soldiers.

[strangehstorian]

It would be a wonderful toy. They are quite possible where I'm from, though if I were to give you plans they would need to be de-weaponized.

[stopthat_destro]

Of course. If I was going to engineer a weapon, it certainly wouldn't be in the form of a toy dragon.

[strangehstorian]

They're entirely within the realm of possibility for working here, though! And really, it's no different from weaponizing a humanoid robot.

[stopthat_destro]

Certainly. I just prefer my weapons to have a certain... aesthetic.

[stopthat_destro]

Kidnapper?

If I was going to create a device to hurt people with, it wouldn't be something so whimsical.

[stopthat_destro]

Muppet... goblin?

It's appreciated, if nothing else.
