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.

Although he's generally agreed to be "an all-around decent copper", Good Boy has unknown motives. He is friends with everyone, but almost everyone seems to think he has no friends. The others find it difficult to tell whose side he's on, if he has one aside from his own, or what kind of dragon he is underneath the guileful behavior. When he's speaking about important or personal matters, he seems to like using carefully worded lies and unfamiliar idioms, and he smirks a lot. Or maybe he's not really thinking about phrasing that much, and the smirk is just an innocent idiosyncrasy. Good Boy has an adopted hatchling under his care, and many dragons are watching carefully to see what he teaches the child.
