Zinc was probably first discovered in China. Together with copper it forms the alloy brass, of which many vintage appliances are made (very popular in the steam punk genre). Nowadays it is found for example in batteries. It is also a nutritional element.

Zinco the monster is a kind of dragon, whom Cuperina likes to ride on through the royal garden.
