Mechan-o'-wyrms are identical to Metal dragons with the exception of coloring, with mechan-o'-wyrms having gold bodies and red eyes. Generally speaking, mechan-o'-wyrms are superior to metal dragons in nearly all aspects and are among the most dangerous enemies encountered in the final stages of an adventure.

Etymology

The mechan-o'-wyrm's name possibly serves two meanings: a cliché naming convention towards devices stating what the monster is while trying to sound technical, and a pun on the phrase "can of worms". A wyrm is a type of dragon, with the name telling of its mechanical nature, while a can of worms refers to something that can cause problems, something that a mechan-o'-wyrm is more than capable of doing.
