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.

Fewds are large, sheep-like reptiles that are considered a delicacy amidst inhabitants of the Gon Desert, a remote desert in the southeast. These animals have large, glistening sand-colored scales that are intended to blind and confuse predators, as they act like near-perfect mirrors in the intense desert sunlight.

Yilioa'en is among the creatures who pride Fewd as a delicious meal. Her favorite prey, she hunts these animals with a ferocious intensity and a clever hunting strategy that has even been mimicked by some humans.

In order to mitigate the effects of the Fewd's reflective scales, she always hunts with her wings tilted away from the sun. Yilioa'en then closes her eyes, aims, and swiftly sinks down in a sharp, angled glide, crashing her onto the sand where she then feasts on whatever poor Fewd she startled. Closing her eyes prevents glare, and the quick crash she performs is to compensate for not being able to see where the Fewd herd is headed.
