The Dragon was a Luddite


The dragon was a Luddite.  He despised the factories.  He hated the machines.  He fought, in vain as it turns out, against the industrial revolution.  He was captured by the authorities while sabotaging a mechanic shop in London, and executed for his crimes.  The world is a sadder place without him.
