One of two surviving attempts at a new Golem Workshop droid. The idea was to trick "real" dragons into thinking they were allies before dispatching the intruders. It was a resounding failure, exemplified by two that survived. They managed to convince themselves that they were dragons, but not anyone else. Eric and Deb were taken to the facility to be studied, but have ended up becoming well-liked members of the clan.

Unbeknownst to everyone, they have also been followed surreptitiously by their creator, who wants to retrieve them, fix their imperfections, and release them upon Sornieth again.

Eric is dramatic and fatalistic, but quick to form bonds with other dragons. This usually drags him out of his programmed schtick of being largely unhelpful to other dragons and makes him a dependable ally.
