Description: They are old mechanical toys, around palm size. They look like metalic fox figurines with functional joints. Due to their unique build and flaw in desing, they burned themself to function, which caused them to rust in abnormal speed. Originaly they were created as half-sentient toys, clocks and little, minature guardians for kids.
Unfortunately they broke down to quickly to function properly, and because of the damages, quickly turned hostile to the kids they were meant to protect. They were not very successful, due to the fact that their main role in protecting the kids was to scare off attackers and produce noises load enough to alert others, which in turn caused them to have zero casualities under their belt. To this day only around ten of those toys survived, and are still functional. But now they are used only as decorations, a sad echo of what they could be.

Personal notes: "I shows just how much faulty our current technology level is. Maybe its creator didn't care enough about it, didn't have the materials to improve the final product, or maybe didn't know how to do it. I wish it could live up to the original purpose and not rust away into oblivion. Maybe in the future more people will have drive and means to create more unique automatons, or even normal tools that will advance our society. For now only people borned with silver spoon can hope to achieve more that average. I will work towards that goal to hopefully see the world where anyone can invent new and exciting things."
