Egg
This egg gleams with a reddish shine.

Hatchling
''Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It spends a lot of time stalking and pouncing playfully on the tails of adult dragons nearby.''

Mature hatchling
''Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It spends a lot of time stalking and pouncing playfully on the tails of adult dragons nearby.''

''And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.''

Adult
''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.''

Breeding behavior
The color of a Copper egg depends on these factors:
 * Cave-born Copper: Egg matches habitat.
 * Liver of Sulfur: Desert, Volcano
 * Rainbow: Alpine, Forest
 * Verdigris: Coast, Jungle
 * Bred Copper from Copper mother: Egg color matches Copper mother's color.
 * Bred Copper from Copper father and non-Copper mother:
 * If non-Copper mother is cave-born from a habitat: Egg color matches mother's habitat.
 * If non-Copper mother has no habitat ("Cave", "Market", or bred): Egg color matches Copper father's color
