I am assuming from the name "Manca Copacati" that Manca is the given name and Copacati is the breed, since we already know Copacati is a breed of acid-spitting dragons. Thus I've named the page simply "Manca" for two reason: the pages are not "Maximus Regal Copper" and "Lily Longwing" and secondly it does not seem like all the Incan dragons have a second (breed) name. This is also what I did on Maila's page, though I am less certain that "Yupanqui" is a breed.
Does anyone have any better ideas or is this acceptable? Strangerface 19:44, 9 March 2012 (MST)
- I was going to suggest possibly adding it, as Chinese dragons have their breed as a part of their name - eg Lung Qin Gao; an Imperial - but your comment about not all the Incan dragons having such a name makes me think just listing their first name is right. Perhaps some of the dragons were trying to make themselves sound more important? Almaron 12:39, 10 March 2012 (MST)
