Just how much leeway do you suppose each dragon type has to making these servants, in terms of appearance? How difficult are they to make? I imagine there's more artistic leeway for the constructs, but that the breath elementals are easier to make if you know the right spell or feat or ritual. But is there a limit to how many of either a dragon can have?
Can a Metallic Peacekeeper have a more humanoid-like appearance than is depicted in the book? That looks like it must be a silver dragon's peacekeeper, since it's silvery metal and there aren't any metallic dragons of a similar tone other than silver. Could it be made to have a more discernable face? I believe they can actually talk, unlike the Warblers. Could it look like a suit of armor, rather than an obvious inhuman design? How much time and money does it take for a dragon to make one, and how much help do they need?
Can the Metallic Warblers be anything but songbirds? Say, dragonflies, or small swarms of bees? Or a single bee? Or a flying squirrel? They're said to be used for clandestine observation, but they look pretty obvious in the artwork; can they be made to look more "natural?"
Is there a limit to how many elemental breaths a chromatic dragon can exhale? Can they be sculpted to look more like genies of the right element, or must they be vaguely humanoid obvious elementals? How easy are they to tell from the regular MM-entry elementals at a glance?
How rare is it for a dragon of any sort to know how to make one of the appropriate servitors that use their breath weapon as a power source?
