Copper Shredders

°A Copper Shredder's gender can be identified by their eyes. While all Copper Shredders have brown eyes, a female has thin a ring of gold around her pupil, and a male has a thin ring of red.

° A Copper Shredder is not a true dragon, but more specifically a wyvern. Wyverns have no front legs, but the strong boney elbows of the wyvern's wings support it.

°A Copper Shredder doesn't chew its food, rather it swallows it whole, and it is shredded by hundreds of sharp teeth in its long thin throat.

°To sustain themselves Copper Shredders eat fish, but mostly they enjoy anything with copper in it.

°Copper Shredders drink a lot of water to keep the teeth in their throats clean, but the water must have a high level of copper in it. Without regularly ingesting high amounts of copper a wyvern will die young.

°Copper Shredders will eat dirt, sand, and even small rocks if they have high amounts of copper.

°When Copper Shredders hatch into a humans clutch, often they are given to another dragon lady who has higher copper levels in their water and soil.

°Copper Shredder hatchlings are known for stealing and eating pennies for extra copper.

°A Copper Shredder has glossy spines all down its back, long wings, small sharp teeth, and brown scales with brown eyes.

°Often with age a Copper Shredder's teeth and claws turn a shade of green because the copper in its body will iodize in them, resulting in a green color. (Like the Statue of Liberty)
