Kaelos

Deep within the Astraea-IV mining colony—hundreds of kilometers beneath the planet's frozen crust—drilling robots and geological probes often get lost amidst pockets of cooled magma and heavy crystals. Kaelos was not born of biology, but through the accidental fusion of a buried exploration probe's AI core and the mineral pressure of the cave's bismuth deposits. Lacking command orders from the surface, the probe's intelligence learned to reconstruct its "body" using the most abundant local mineral, shaping a form that mimicked the old holograms of Earth fauna stored in its corrupted archives: a dragon. The Bond with the Companion: He was discovered by a young miner exploring decommissioned tunnels. Far from being hostile, the dragon approached, drawn by her body heat and the static energy from her helmet's lantern. Kaelos serves as a source of light, warmth, and navigation in the absolute darkness of the depths.
