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.

Named for the infernal substance he was accidentally bathed in as an egg, it is a wonder that he managed to hatch at all. It was a lucky coincidence that the caustic liquid was meant to treat copper, else it is entirely likely he may have perished. Still, he did not escape unscathed: he gained a famously foul temper. His exacerbated temperament extends to his breath, which can on occasion be seen to eat away at metal and blight plants.

He spends much time secluded away in his own caves and tunnels apart from those of his hatcher and the other dragons he was raised with. His brooding is rarely interrupted for something other than food or water. The one thing he always responds to, though, is his master that hatched him, to whom he professes utter loyalty, believing himself to be a like a weapon meant to be brandished against foes.
