Notes From Indy: This living doll was once a Bishel Dragon, although its original Clan and variety are lost to time. It was one of the dollmaker's earlier experiments, and it wasn't particularly successful. Its head is a metal mask, and only the eyes can move. The dragon is unable to make any facial expressions or vocalizations. Its body appears to be some sort of wood, but it is indestructible beyond slight scratches. Originally, the wings and major body joints were covered with silken fabric, but that has proved to be susceptible to damage. The dragon doll's fabric is badly in need of repair, and only shreds are left in some locations. The wings are decorative only; the doll is incapable of flight. It slithers and climbs, and it seems particularly fond of trees. It may have been of the Arboreal type while living.
The transfer was flawed, and although the doll body held, the dragon suffered
extensive memory loss. It doesn't remember what or who it once was. It is still
capable of telepathy and speech, but it rarely pauses to talk. It often projects
telepathic noises, such as hisses and growls, when warding off attackers. Any
magic it may have had while alive has been forgotten, and as a result, its only
defense is to bludgeon enemies with its tail and head or constrict them. It does
this quite often. Early experiences with angry mobs and hunters has caused it to
hate anything sentient. If someone wanders too close, the doll will lash out,
and it has no qualms about killing those who would dare to hunt it. Although its
memory is fractured at best, the dragon doll has a sense of what it has lost. It
knows it can never return to whatever life it once had, and thus, it doesn't
consider its past body or family to be of much consequence. It does, however,
wish to remember what magic is and find its powers again, if only to be able to
defend itself better. With time, this may be possible, since dragons are
powerfully magic creatures, even without their physical forms.
