Flying Cymbal Saucer

* **Main Page**
* Gameplay

Flying Cymbal Saucers are military drones used by the Percussion Kingdom. They can shoot small lasers, spin violently like flying blades, or create loud cymbal sounds as an alarm system. They serve a variety of purposes, most of which are relaying info and scouting territory.

## Appearance

Flying Cymbal Saucers appear to be a cymbal mixed with a flying saucer. They have sleek designs with a small antennae on top, and a mixture of mechanisms and percussionist magic keep them aloft.

## History

Flying Cymbal Saucers were created by the Percussion Kingdom during the First Stanza, when King Timpani V declared war on the String Kingdom, and needed military forces that could be replaced easily. Since then, Flying Cymbal Saucers have been used for many things, some of which are listed below:

### Scouting Drones

Flying Cymbal Saucers are sometimes used by the Percussion Army to scout their enemies. Having the advantage from the skies, Flying Cymbal Saucers are able to spy on other armies and send back info.

### Patrols

Flying Cymbal Saucers are mechanical, and never get tired, making them perfect for helping out patrols. If a Flying Cymbal Saucer senses a threat, it can burst into loud cymbal sounds, alerting other patrol members. In one case, a Flying Cymbal Saucer alerted the rest of its patrol to an incoming Tambourine Cobra attack, allowing them to escape onto high ground and kill it.

### Delivery/Messengers

With proper magical enchantments using percussionist magic, Flying Cymbal Saucers are able to relay messages and even deliver small items. These have been mostly used for better scouting drones, or to help with royal tasks in Bingo Bongo. Some Flying Cymbal Saucers specifically created to carry vast quantities of items at the cost of their weaponry will transport food from the savannas to the rest of the towns in the desert, where food is harder to come by.

### Expendable Mercenary

Like the percussionists that created them, Flying Cymbal Saucers are often sold to people from other kingdoms as mercenaries. Due to their robotic nature, they can be ruthless and merciless, and will even destroy themselves to kill their target. This lack of concern for one's self is unparalleled by non-robots! The only downside is that Flying Cymbal Saucers are severely limited in adaptability, often attacking their target with no plan or stealth.

### Getting a Flying Cymbal Saucer

After defeating Tuba Officer in Bingo Bongo, the High Percussion Council rewards Maestro with a silver Flying Cymbal Saucer, acting as a pet of sorts. If equipped, the Flying Cymbal Saucer aids the player by bringing back common items if sent out to do so. Otherwise, it'll hover around Maestro, occasionally shooting lasers at enemies, dealing small amounts of damage.

Regular Flying Cymbal Saucers can be purchased as well, and the differences between the gold and silver versions are purely cosmetic.

## Trivia

* Flying Cymbal Saucers are one of the few pets that aren't animals.
* There exists a Flying Bell Saucer in the game's files, however this isn't in the actual game. It's theorized that these would've been used by the Bell Kingdom.
