Breeding the Cauchador Real with the smaller British breed [[Bright Copper]] produced the [[Regal Copper]], which was both larger than either of its ancestors and better able to sustain flight over distance. The mix was originally suggested by scholar Roger Bacon based on the faulty assumption of the era that similarly colored dragons might breed well together. The faulty reasoning aside, the mix turned out to be a very fruitful one. | Breeding the Cauchador Real with the smaller British breed [[Bright Copper]] produced the [[Regal Copper]], which was both larger than either of its ancestors and better able to sustain flight over distance.
