Schweincopter

Found by Agatha in the Clank Hangers beneath The Refuge of Storms. These appear to be a cross between a mechanism and living swine. They were, apparently, used by House Valois to egress the Clank Hangers which are so deep beneath the mountains that it is quite difficult to reach the surface. Their name is a bit of a puzzle as well. The Professors Foglio had Agatha refer to them as "Schweincopters," which would have been spelled in German as "Schweinkopters." They could also be referred to as Fleigendshwein, which is German for Flying Pig.
