Acydiphul Wyrmling Copper Dragon

Acydiphul has a penchant for wordplay and seldom can resist plying any intelligent creature he meets with riddles, limericks, puns, and even the occasional double entendre.

When not practicing the art of verbal offense, he spends his time crawling all over the local rocks hunting for spiders, centipedes, and scorpions to eat. He sticks his nose into every nook and cranny.

Rhindani Very Young Copper Dragon

Rhindani fancies herself a comic lyricist. She hums constantly and loudly sings amusing little ditties as she thinks of them, which is quite often. She lives in a narrow gully where a stream emerges from a hillside, babbling along with the water. A young red dragon, Fylokkipyron, lives uncomfortably close, and the two have a long history of conflict— which invariably ends with Rhindani fleeing for her life, but shouting some humorous song about the encounter as she goes.

Snydil Young Copper Dragon

Snydil has an abiding fascination with magic items, and enjoys using those he finds rather than stockpiling them in his hoard. In fact, he often uses coins and gemstones he acquires to purchase magic items he can carry and use, and he keeps only a few items in his lair. Without a hoard to protect, Snydil roams widely, often staying away from his lair for weeks at a time. He is an accomplished prankster, and purchases magic items that facilitate his trickery. He is considering saving up for a ring of invisibility.

Ladunappindon Juvenile Copper Dragon

A large town of gnomes nestled in a rocky valley has a guardian few such communities can boast. Ladunappindon makes her lair in a large house carved into a cliff side in the midst of the town. She is not by any means an accomplished illusionist, but she entertains young gnomes greatly with comic presentations created with silent image and narrated by the dragon through ventriloquism. She contributes her modest magic and significant combat prowess to the defense of the town from a neighboring tribe of goblins who still occasionally dare to make raids on the gnomes.

Vijaylommaxius Young Adult Copper Dragon

No less a prankster than other copper dragons, Vijaylommaxius at least plays his pranks in service of a greater cause.

His lair lies at the edge of a tyrant’s domain, whose people are heavily burdened with taxes and oppressive regulations.

Vijaylommaxius’s pranks are usually directed toward the tyrant’s soldiers and tax collectors—he takes every opportunity to humiliate them and foil their errands for the king.

Unfortunately, each time the king’s agents are hindered in their duties, the king orders reprisals against the common folk. Spurred by this injustice, Vijaylommaxius is growing increasingly angry, and his pranks are getting much more serious—and deadly.

Kearidilonshar Adult Copper Dragon

Kearidilonshar is fascinated by elementals, particularly earth elementals (as well as xorn and other outsiders from the

Plane of Earth). She lairs in a deep cavern near a permanent

portal to that plane, and seeks out the conversation of its natives above all others. Her knowledge of other planes in general is quite extensive, thanks to her good relationship with a number of renowned dwarf and deep gnome scholars. She tries to mimic the mannerisms of earth creatures, straining to keep her voice slow and low, searching for just the right rumble in her throat, but she quickly loses patience for that affectation in an extended conversation and resumes her normal rapid, higher-pitched voice.

Hypvaliidedarix Mature Adult Copper Dragon

Hypvaliidedarix is most often found in the company of a band of wood elves, and his taste in music and humor is somewhat elevated above the copper dragon norm as a result. His humor relies on elaborate word plays (often in

Elvish) and goes over the heads of most other creatures, and he doesn’t care for what he calls the “gnome pranks” of other copper dragons. He enjoys flying at top speed through the light forests around his canyon home, racing fleet-footed elves who certainly have the edge in maneuverability. Even more, he enjoys their evening feasts, where they share fine food, song, and dance. In his mind, the life of these simple people, the plain beauty of their folk melodies, and their lusty enjoyment of life are the finest things in the world.

Turuntmenkajanki Old Copper Dragon

Sworn to hunt devils for the rest of her days, Turuntmenkajanki is rather more serious and intense than most copper dragons. Though she often regrets what she now recognizes as an oath sworn in haste without due consideration of its repercussions, her own personal sense of honor compels her to obey it, and so she is an old dragon without a home or hoard, with no children, and who is haunted by the taint of evil’s touch in her very soul. When she was a juvenile, Turuntmenkajanki’s parents and a close friend of theirs, a human bard, were all slain by a trio of pit fiends. When Turuntmenkajanki found their bodies, she had to tell the bard’s husband what had happened, and his grief so moved the dragon that she swore an oath on the spot—not just to avenge their deaths, but to make war on

Drumduruhullwix Very Old Copper Dragon

Incorrigible is perhaps the best word to describe Drumduruhullwix, and he would hasten to add, “So don’t encourage me!” Puns are his meat and drink, and he hasn’t given a straight answer to any question in over three hundred years. (And yes, he is keeping track.) Engaging in conversation with him is like fencing with a vastly superior foe: Every sentence, every word means what he wants it to mean, regardless of the speaker’s intent, and he usually wants everything to mean something that embarrasses or demeans the speaker. Most creatures just give up on talking to him after a matter of minutes, which leaves him in fits of laughter at what he considers success.

Keicjannicarayas Ancient Copper Dragon

At the bottom of a vast, yawning chasm in the midst of a wild mountain range, Keicjannicarayas makes her lair. There, where the clear blue sky is just a sliver shining between the towering walls of rock, she passes years lost in conversation with her one companion: a titan named Parakoursos, imprisoned here eons ago for a crime against the deities that he does not reveal. The titan’s knowledge and wisdom are a

match for the dragon’s, and the two never tire of probing each others’ minds and hearts to learn more about the universe and about each other. Keicjannicarayas brings the titan food and water, tells him what she sees in the world above, and cares for him tenderly. Parakoursos, for his part, would do anything for her, but his imprisonment makes him virtually helpless. In the last year or so, however, Keicjannicarayas has come to believe that Parakoursos holds some piece of information that is vital to the survival of the cosmos, one item of knowledge he does not share even with her that is somehow related to his imprisonment. This suspicion is beginning to cast a pall over their conversations, and now they sit together in silence at times, often for days at a time.

Bruntutalephion Wyrm Copper Dragon

Like a plague of vermin, young red dragons seem to keep cropping up in Bruntutalephion’s territory. His current working theory is that an extremely prolific female seeded the highly volcanic region with eggs over a period of decades, and the hatched young are reaching young adulthood, worming their way from their underground nests to the surface, and emerging to spread chaos and destruction through his precious lands. It can take as long as a year for

Bruntutalephion to hunt down and exterminate a single red, and he increasingly finds himself facing packs of canny juveniles and young adults. Three or four young reds at a time is enough to give even a mighty copper such as Bruntutalephion some difficulty, and he is growing tired of the endless war.
