Copper Dragons

Known for their quick wit, love of practical jokes, and charismatic charm, Copper Dragons delight in deception and jest as long as they are not the victim. Because of this, they do not like stupid or unintelligent monsters because such monsters cannot appreciate their wit; instead they like to spend their time with humans or, more especially, fae creatures such as centaurs and satyrs, who more appreciate the dragons' cleverness. They are the most covetous of the Metallic Dragons and the most taken by their draconic need to hoard treasure.
Despite its love for jokes and jests, a Copper Dragon will get offended if the jokes are targeted towards it or if a creature does not enjoy its jokes. To stay on a Copper Dragon's good side, one must learn to appreciate its humor.
Terrain and Habitat
Copper Dragons love temperate hills and rocky climbs. They are exceptionally nimble and love terrain that allows them to exploit this. Coppers are also the dragons most likely to live near humanoid settlements in the ruins of fortresses or towers, or even occasionally underneath the city if they can convince the city's leaders.
Lairs
Copper dragons prefer humanoid-made structures if they can find one, such as an outlying fortress or a deep dungeon. They may hire humanoids to build a lair for them, or they may overtake one that they desire. Often their lairs will emulate their deceptive or jesting behavior, including mazes of twisting tunnels or enchantments that make visitors forget where they are.
Favored Treasure
Copper Dragons value fine art, especially finely worked metal jewelry, but they prefer treasures of the earth including metal and gemstones. Their favorite treasure, however, is that of companionship with a creature who appreciates the dragon's humor.
Diet
In the wild, a Copper will live on small game and fowls. If a Copper lives close enough to humanoid settlements, it will acquire a taste for human food, especially wine.
Tactics
Copper Dragons tend to favor hit-n-run tactics by repeatedly flying overhead, unleashing their acid over groups of enemies, and whipping around terrain (such as trees or rocky bluffs) to avoid ranged attacks. They are extremely manueverable and utilize this in the extreme by diving to attack an opponent before darting away on the wing. They much prefer to take a single opportunity attack than a full multiattack from any creature.
