Wasn't there one mentioned in Augmentation? What's its name....
The feathered serpent with the black aura as described in the Aztlan sourcebook. Are they the same? - J. |

Chances are.
Dragons can get cyberware, so it could be augmented, but it could also be corrupted. Vestrivian? Or was he a bog standard Western? |

Eliohann got a newer set which fit him better. They take double essence loss and it hurts, I think, when they use magic.

Well the new trode technology was largely stimulated by dragons (i.e. Celedyr). Now that trodes no longer suck, it is fair to ask how far then has cyber progressed for dragons then too?

Got, it. He is in the ancient files.
"Emerging Futures was working on hooking paranormal animals up to the Matrix under the heading of Project Cerebus. Eliohann, the young western dragon used in the final experiments, received a set of datajacks and ultimately ended up purchasing the company, which went into partnership with Ares for a time. Recently, Eliohann has sold Emerging Futures to Transys Neuronet" All to do with big D's will. but it would seem that there are some cybered dragons around which are ok after |

That wasd the one from the advernture "Dragon Hunt" before they got him 'tuned' he lost his memory and went bug nuts. Some of the BIG dragons, like D were on shadowland but it is thought they were turtles.

I have a vague memory of one of the novels having Jane-in-the-Box mentioning that Dunkelzahn occasionally 'riding' her when she was in the Matrix. In one of the Dragonheart books, of giant brown nipples fame, I'm fairly sure. Now granted the novels aren't canon for anything other than general plot but it makes sense. |

The Dragonheart books (yay brown nipples!) aren't considered canon? IIRC, it's been referenced here by the devs as having the true reason why Dunk died...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif) Reference is 144-145 in Aug in the fluff regarding cyberzombies. both of these dragons have been mentioned repeatedly on the boards here as well. I was just wondering if anyone knew which was which. |

Google tells me that Chicoaze is Aztec for six, and Inti Jiwana is Quechua (Inca?) for “Death of the Sun" (solar eclipse).
