Sapphire Iron Dragon monster 1090

newmonster         "Sapphire Iron Dragon"
descr              "The most advanced of the constructs are the dragons.  In contrast to the other constructs, they are quite nicely done and the Iron Dragons are the most expensive and fanciful part of the Hoburg army.  Originally thought of as an extravagant mount for the Burgmeister, the mere weight of them makes it impossible to fly more than short stretches during a fight.  The plans were abandoned altogether when the Burgmeister of that time realized that the dragon would not avoid branches or other things that were in the way, and its responses to his steering commands were far too slow.^ The constructs are all powered by a large mainspring and a jewel imbued with a certain element. Before battle all constructs have to be wound up and the jewels have to placed in the right place, which is why it is preferable to attack the Hoburg forces by surprise. As everyone knows, the sapphire is connected with the Plane of Water and when used in a construct it will shoot fort a jet of ice cold water that paralyses the victim."
