Birthday: Wednesday, November 15, 2017

Element: Neutral 
No one is entirely sure how large an adult copera could grow, if it had an unlimited supply of copper to consume. There's something not quite real about their appearance and when they're still, magi could be forgiven for thinking that they're statues or toys. However, an adult copera can easily use the barb on its tail when threatened; they don't carry poison, but the barb can grow large enough to cause fatal wounds on its own. Magi who travel into underground caves are often known to carry a small bag of gems to offer to any copera they come across, in exchange for safe passage.
Found mostly underground in caves and old tombs, copera are curious creatures in that no one is entirely sure if they're alive or not. They appear to be made entirely of copper, with jade spikes running along their back and on the edges of their hood, and a gleaming sapphire set in the center of their forehead. The barb on their tail is wickedly sharp and they hoard enough fine gems to rival any dragon. Although they look fearsome, especially as they get older and bigger, they generally just want to be left alone to snuggle into their gem pile.
