The Fire-Breathing Lion Head is a mechanism weapon shaped like a lion’s head that breathes fire. It is one of the showpieces of Mirage’s mechanical arts, and evidence of how far Mirage had taken them.
Weapon overview
The Fire-Breathing Lion Head is a weapon driven by mechanism: a snarling lion’s head on the outside, a fire-throwing apparatus inside. It is the product of Mirage’s mechanical arts — enormous power, and complicated to work. The head is usually mounted on a fixed mechanism and operated by an artificer.
