Biography
Eroica (literally, "Heroic") was considered one of Prussia's finest dragons. He was very disciplined and had performed well as a military dragon. His strict order-following nature clashes with Temeraire's free spirt when he arrived in Prussia. (Temeraire referred to him as a "booby" in a fit of temper.)
Both Eroica and his captain, Dyhern, initally refused to accept that there were problems with their formation-flying. Although they eventually relented and agreed to give Temeraire's ideas a try, there was insufficient time to implement them before Eroica was captured by the French in the Battle of Jena-Auerstadt.
