This breed of dragon results from eggs or hatchlings that have been neglected. They are usually rebellious, not obeying their masters, sometimes even attacking them. However, their neglect as a hatchling leaves them crippled, and they are weak compared to other breeds, causing them to stay with their masters for protection.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

As a lost hatchling, this dragon imprinted on a nearly blind and rather absent-minded peddler of pots and pans. Following the peddler about, the hatchling nearly starved trying to live off the scraps left behind the peddler's meals.

The peddler thought he was being followed by a stray horse, so he put his packs on the dragon's back and made the poor creature carry his loads on foot for many miles. In return, the peddler provided some carrots and oats when he could, but mostly left the creature to graze. Because foraging for food was too hard, the dragon usually waited until the peddler had his meal and passed out. Then the starving creature ate the scraps that were left, licking the dishes clean in the process.

The peddler thought he was lucky to have brownies following him and taking care of his dishes every night.
