Mech Toys were first released with the Dhu Gillywack and had 9 toys in the set. They were updated in 2024 by GM Xynwen and released at the 2024 Premium Festival.
The verb traps are TURN, TWIST, PUSH, and LICK. LICK has different messaging if you are a burghal gnome or a dwarf. The messaging of PUSH varies based on the type of toy. DROP will damage and eventually break the toy, but TINKER can be used by burghal gnomes to repair broken toys.
Analyze
You analyze the starveil-geared teadragon and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."
The creator has also provided the following information:
~*~ Mechanical Toys from the Dhu Gillywack ~*~
Originally created by GM Cyr for the 2001 Dhu Gillywack and given additional love by GM Scrimge later, these mechanical toys have been updated as of 2024 by GM Xynwen to allow for additional options. Please read carefully and treat your delicate toys with love!
Verb Traps: turn, twist, push, and lick (some may have different reactions for dwarves/burghal gnomes)
Alteration Guidelines:
* Any willing merchant may work on these. All normal alteration rules apply. You cannot change the toy type
* These are burghal gnome-crafted, so nothing can contradict that
* Base 15/15/15 - must reference toy and be gear-based/mechanical/clockwork. Noun must remain the same.
* You can add a LONG and/or a SHOW, provided you do not contradict the hard-coded SHOW that references gears, glass, metal plates, and its overall fragility.
** For damaged/broken items, the hard-coded SHOWs will override any custom SHOW
* You may also customize your broken status (15/15/15 only), must be some sort of mechanical mess! It cannot contradict the hard-coded show for broken items
Special Notes: If you DROP this toy, you damage it. Drop it too often and it may break. Fortunately, if you know a good burghal gnome tinkerer, they can TINKER with them and maybe repair it.
Status: Your starveil-geared teadragon is currently in pristine condition. You should feel good about yourself!

You get no sense of whether or not the teadragon may be further lightened.

Additional Information
Show Descriptions
Toy descriptions are automatically modified based on if they are damaged.
Undamaged (Pre-pended to any custom SHOWs):
The toy puppy appears fragile and is made of small metal plates, bits of glass, and many tiny gears. A small turnkey is set within its back.
Damaged (Replaces any custom SHOWs):
The starveil-geared teadragon is made of small metal plates, bits of glass which appear broken, and tiny gears which are missing teeth. A bent turnkey is set within its dented back.
Broken (Replaces any custom SHOWs):
The lump of misshapen metal appears to have once been a mechanical contraption of some sort, but it is now damaged to the point that it is barely recognizable. There are many empty spindles where gears apparently once sat and what seems to be a broken-off turnkey in the midst of the jumble.
