Many dingbots are created by other dingbots. A few are created by Agatha herself. Those are prime dingbots. Of the ones we are aware of there are:
- Dingbot Prime the ace of Sturmhalten, brought to Castle Heterodyne by Gil.
- Deuce Dingbot who, like Tarvek, rode a tiger-dog.
- Queenie created by Agatha during a Dyne-water rush to fulfill a promise ✣ made to the rival prime dingbots and restore order in the world.
Agatha frequently has problems with her little clanks. They sometimes interpret her instructions in unpredictable ways ✣ with undesirable results ✣ and have even violently challenged her authority ✣ . In this image, we can see one scurrying away with Agatha's journal, carelessly leaving a trail of potentially embarassing letters.
Given that these little clanks are essentially Von Neumann Probes, her part of the universe may well be in serious trouble.
