Nanite Dragon

There's said to be an ancient beast haunting the mountains. A flying monstrosity, smaller than The Roc, but just as deadly. Be careful on them mountains boy, I'd prefer to not have you come back in pieces.

Did you like my creation? Just a little experiment on the limits of these nanites, one of my first experiments actually. A little dragon to guard the Mines. Then I got more ambitious, and made The Roc. But that's a story for another day, my dear 17.

Description

The Nanite Dragon is a hulking monstrosity, standing at 12 feet high, 28 feet long and weighing just over a ton, it is a force to be reckoned with. Its teeth are sharp enough to rip through steel like butter, each tooth being about 6 inches long. The claws are equally sharp, but larger, sitting at a massive 12 inches apiece. It has a fully metallic body, even its wings are clearly metallic, though it is thinner and partially see-through. It has a massive 34ft wingspan, and creates miniature wind storms wherever it flies.

Was minding me own business one day, just buildin' me house, then a shadow covered everyone. A tornado kicked up, as we heard a roar from some flyin' beast. It swooped down, picked up me own daughter and flew off... I picked up weapon makin' in hope that some brave soul would slay the damned thing, and that it would be with a weapon that I crafted.

— Daforth, Weaponmaster

Characteristics

The Nanite Dragon is mostly known for its roar, a metallic howl that rolls over the land like the wind. When it's heard, people run into their homes and hide, for fear of it taking them. It has three main ways of attacking people, it can attack you with its massive claws, dealing large amounts of damage. It can bite you, also dealing large amounts of damage. Or it can use a breath attack made of nanites that is almost guaranteed to transmit Silver to the unfortunate victim.
