Copper Dragons are masters of stealth, slipping silently and swiftly through the forests and jungles where they live. Often hunting in groups, their prey rarely know they are being stalked until the dragon’s at their throat. In the air they are agile and skilled. Copper Dragons prize family groups, spending large amounts of time teaching their young skills. So great is their love of life and family that they will sometimes adopt orphaned dragons of other breeds to raise.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

One day, a rare egg was given to Lurhstaap by a kind and generous fellow dragonkeeper. It was a precious gift. Nowadays, Epic is no longer the only wild-bred verdigris at the Breedery, but she will always be one of the greatest prizes of the collection. Unlike some other sentient Breedery dragons, Epic has no complaints about her lot in life. She would rather be a star breeder in a large dragonry—that is, important, a 'somebody'—than just another wild dragon scrounging for food and a hoard. She is a little self-centered but basically kind and can be fun if you overlook her egocentric moments. Epic Surf was named at hatching for her coastal origins, but as she grew, she proved to be a genuine beach-lover, too. Her best friend is a Falconiform Wyvern named Pomona Lisa. The two wyverns often fly to the shoreline to play in the waves together. She has even learned Lisa's log-riding game.
