With 6 wings, 6 legs and 1 tail, this little rust bucket is comprised of impure gold, silver, iron, wiring and scrap metal. The 3 heads can expel Lightning, Fire and Light blasts respectively. The 'peacock' gene you see is actually a series of sensors that allow the android to better absorb elemental magic. 3MP3R0R can't talk, but the AI has developed its own language with clicks, grinds and chirps. It also knows Morse code!

[b]'1R0N'[/b] is the left head. It controls the right half of the body and is responsible for logic-based computations. It's mostly made out of iron. It writes the most.
[b]'60LD'[/b] is the central head. It's the main decision maker, recognises dragons and nicknames the most and is the most vocal. It controls the wings and tail. It's mostly made out of gold (which normally doesn't rust) containing a lot of impurities, causing the rust.
[b]'51LV3R'[/b] is the right head. It controls the left half of the body and is responsible for simulating creativity. It's mostly made of silver (also doesn’t rust) but the material has a lot more impurities than 60LD’s head does. It likes to lick people.

The pink Pearlcatcher slowly circles 3MP3R0R, a curious expression on the non-mechanical parts of his face. He leans closer, and you can hear the creaking of joints (metal or flesh?) under his coat.
"This is surely an accomplishment," he murmurs in a surprisingly deep, but soft, voice. "But what will become of the child when your experiment ends? I know that living dragons are often surprised by the longevity of their machines, and experiments are seldom content to be studied forever."

Someday, the whole sky is going to light up, and it's gonna say, "TILT."
And that's gonna be the end of the world.

Bianca grimaces at the Emperor. "So, is it an actual Emperor? Don't those have to be alive first? You-you didn't kill them right?" The Guardian's tail whips back and forth in agitation as she tries to puzzle over the morality of it. Sure, they aren't real hatchlings but they sort of look like them and that alone was disturbing. If a person's willing to hurt something that looks and acts like a kid, who knows what that means about how they'll treat a real one.
