  1. GOOD

    I got a sentient, featherweight, multi-legged, transport, flamethrower, animal, exposed cockpit. So clearly it is a DRAGON that you RIDE ON. AWESOME.

    Another: middleweight, mag-lev, transport, agricultural equipment, animal, slow. Some kind of floating, slowly moving thing that has a bunch of harvesting equipment. Oh! It’s a jellyfish. Giant metal-jellyfish that blobs along, sucking things up with whirring harvesters. AWESOME.
