Dyrobo
I had robot Kreatures in my earlier drafts, which I retconned from later drafts out of the concern they'd undermine the premise; if people can just build robots to fight for them then what's the point of taming Kreatures? I later reappraised the concept and made them cyborgs instead, which I determined wouldn't break the premise any more than augmentation armour would.

Dyrobo is the first mass-produced Cyborg Kreature, developed for exploring inhospitable environments such as the surfaces of other planets. It's not a mindless machine, but a living being like any other Kreature, except its nucleus is hooked up to a life support system inside of a mechanical exoskeleton. It's constructed out of the same graphene reinforced metallized organic polymers as Augmentation Armour, which is designed to channel its nucleo-aura. Dyrobos used to be state of the art but they've since been rendered obsolete by newer, more advanced Cyborg Kreatures. They're now used almost exclusively by hobbyists as Battle Kreatures.
