Clockwork Dragon

## Base Stats

It is a special being created by combining the characteristics of machines and dragons. Only when its key is wound, the device inside its body moves and the life energy of the Clockwork Dragon is activated.

If it gets wet in water for a long time or is in a humid environment, its skin will corrode. Remember to oil it at least once or twice a week. The more oil you apply, the better Clockwork Dragon will feel. If you do not lubricate it, its movements may become sluggish and then stop.

## Story

### Time That Doesn't Stop

Clockwork Dragon had to be wound in order to move. If it didn’t wind the key, it couldn’t move and it stopped.

One day, while playing in the forest, Clockwork Dragon accidentally rolled down a hill and suddenly lost its body parts, making it unable to move its body properly. To make matters worse, the rattling noises all over the body began to get worse due to the dust that got stuck between its parts as it rolled. Clockwork Dragon could not move and began to struggle to move its stiff body.

It looked around to see if there was someone who could take care of its wind-up key and parts, but everyone was scared and ran away when they saw the shadow of Clockwork Dragon walking strangely and creaking. When Clockwork Dragon was sad and crying, it met a child.

“Oh my god, you’re Clockwork Dragon, right? You look like you’re in a lot of pain, are you okay?”

The wind-up key was loose and the missing parts were rattling, so Clockwork Dragon slowly opened its mouth and spoke slurredly.

“In order to move… I have to wind the key...”

“It’s starting to stop! Let me help you!!”

The child clumsily brushed off the dust between Clockwork Dragon’s parts and wound up the wind-up key, then took the dragon home to check its condition.

The child’s parents were also worried about the dragon, so they took out the parts that the child had neatly organized, cleaned them up, oiled them, reassembled them tightly, and wound the wind-up key.

The power of a family’s meticulous care and affection was embedded in Clockwork Dragon’s parts, giving Clockwork Dragon the gift of unstoppable time.

No matter how much it moved and ran, the wind-up key kept turning without stopping. Clockwork Dragon is no longer broken.

## Evolution

### Egg

This is an egg that needs to be wound.

A large wind-up key is attached to the elaborately made egg. Only when you return the key will the dragon hatch healthy. The key activates the life energy of the dragon contained within the egg. When enough energy is collected, the egg vibrates and then breaks open. The egg may rust in humid places, so it should be placed in a dry place.

### Hatch

Since hatching, it has been waiting for a hand to wind its key.

Winding its key does not simply stop the dragon from gaining energy. This act is a way to build trust and affection between the Tamer and the dragon, and form a strong bond. The more you consistently wind the windup key every single day, the more grateful the dragon becomes and the more loyal it becomes to its Tamer.

### Hatchling

Unlike hatches, hatchlings likes to be oiled.

Since its iron skin rusts and dries more easily than before, it must be oiled to keep its skin soft and flexible. Like winding its wind-up key, oiling it helps build trust and affection with Clockwork Dragon, but it must be done carefully. As its body grows, its internal machinery became more complex. Therefore, you must inspect it carefully before proceeding with oiling. It is important to purchase and apply machine oil while paying attention to its joints. If you ask with sparkling eyes on where to apply oil, it is better to listen.

### Adult

This dragon requires careful management as it is a machine.

The Tamers will also thoroughly check the dragon's condition, but Clockwork Dragon can also repair itself. It knows better than anyone else that it is a machine, so when its body is damaged or a part breaks, it picks up the parts and tools and repairs it itself. It takes a long time, but it is repaired well enough. It is good if the Tamer has knowledge about machines. If you have a good understanding of how its body works, how the parts are connected, and the signals and sounds coming from the dragon, you will be able to maintain a long-term, close relationship with Clockwork Dragon.
