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.

A high-pitched cry of "KITTENS!" is usually the first sign that Katzil is on the hunt. A diligent stalker of barns and backyards, any unguarded cat (especially the fluffy ones) is subject to capture and ensuing adoration by the feline-loving copper. Stealing her catches away to her home, a cozy old castle ruin in the middle of nowhere, she bribes them to join her cause with milk, catnip, and fresh fish, soon making most of them forget all about their old owners. When a cat does miss their past life, however (or when those owners who truly love their cats come and demand them back), Katzil reluctantly returns the catnapped creature, mumbling all the while about how life would have been better if they'd stayed with her. Some suspect her addiction to the creatures is a result of her not having any young yet, and hope she'll calm down and stop kidnapping their pets once she finds a nice male to settle with.
