I am afraid they weren't wellcome for lots of players for DS because if they don't need food and water to survive then this could break the power balance. My suggestion is to add some handicap. Free sentient constructs aren't allowed in the urban areas, only those who are controlled by the sorcerer-kings. To hide the Athasian living constructs wear something like a living simbiont skin to seem "organic humanoids". This exoskin needs water and food to keep alive. Other living constructs don't need to hide, but they need water and special oils because they suffer something like the "disquiet" from "Prometheus: the Created".* I am thinking about we could add the dragons from Spelljammer to Athas. The key is they couldn't or they shouldn't cast arcane magic and they had to learn to use primal magic instead. The stellar dragons only would want information, and Athas is full of secrets. They could be detected by Borys in the past, but before he could arrive to face them these had escaped toward other plane. Moon dragons would be willing to eat fiends but they would rather to pretend to be infernal lords. The Athasian sun dragons are different because their lairs are underground biomas with flora and fauna from the surface. If they are enoughly powerful they create the biomas in demiplanes where can't be menaced by SKs or defilers. Some theories or rumors tell the Athasian sun dragons were ordinary humanoids who learnt to become sun dragons. The vishaps from al-Qadim could appear in Athas but they wouldn't be true dragon in their origins but failed experiments about how to become a dragon. They are hunted to use their body parts to craft magic items and like this.The sand dragons (3.5 Sandstorm) could be hidden in underground lairs and exiting toward the surface to hunt fiends. Borys could detect their existence but he didn't mind because he thought they were like the elemental drakes. Somebody hunted some sand dragon for biopunk reverse engineering, and now we have got "artificial" sand dragons working for some secret cult or like this.Maybe these intruder dragons could appear after the death of Borys</blockquote>
