Mechanical Koi

They dwell in peaceful ponds and streams, and when it is very still and tranquil you can just barely hear the soft shirring of their metal gears as they flit through the water. Legends tell that the fish were created for a wealthy emperor, others will tell you that they have just always been. On a sunny day you might catch a glimpse of their metal scales flashing in the water, if you are patient and know where to look.
