Description

This is a piece of work I did on vacations: as I was away and didn't remeber how I drew them and I did it differently... and now I like my dragons best like this... plus this time it is full body!

What do you think of my new regal copper? Magnificent beast, ain't it?

According to Sir Edward Howe, Regal Coppers are descended from the Spanish Cauchador Real mixed with the smaller British breed known as Bright Coppers. It was a successful breeding experiment, as Regal Coppers are both larger than their ancestors and better able to sustain flight over distance. They are not prolific, with only four or five Regal Coppers born in a generation. Mature Regal Coppers weight as much as 50 tons and were as long as 120 feet; the British believe them to be the largest breed of dragon. Their colouring is dramatic, shading from red to yellow, with variety between individual dragons. Female Regal Coppers tend to be slightly larger than males. Mature males develop forehead horns, and both sexes have a spiny column along the back, which made matters difficult for enemy boarding parties. All Regal Coppers are badly farsighted, so they must be rather far away from an object in order to see it clearly. Regal Coppers were among Britain's most valuable dragons at the start of the 19th Century. It is considered dangerous to keep two male Regal Coppers together, or they will fight. Dragons are generally reluctant to fight smaller dragons. Since Regal Coppers were both rare and very large, a male Regal Copper will rarely have the chance to meet another dragon his own size and therefore worth picking a fight with.
