Carnivorous digible (Dirigible horribilis) is a species of self-aware dirigible.
It is a grazing ruminant airship, neither carnivorous nor horrible.
Commentary
Karl Jones writes:
Most technology, when I give it sentience, I do so with love ... like animism, with machines instead of animals. Mechimism.
It's the injustice of a sentient airship being called "carnivorous" when it is in fact an herbivorous ruminant.
That's the sad-funny part: the sadness of being misunderstood.
