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.

Auburnion shares the same qualities as Cuprunium due to them being both Copper dragons, but they differ in color and fighting styles. Cuprunium is the one that attacks enemies mercilessly. Auburnion—despite also attacking enemies mercilessly—is the one that draws enemy fire due to the fact that he is more nimble and agile than Cuprunium. During peacetime, when Cuprunium is not busy fighting with Carbonwing, Auburnion often asks Cuprunium to a sparring session and Auburnion often wins because he can evade most of Cuprunium's attacks with ease.
