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.

Loveless was born sickly; the clan's white dragons were convinced that he would die shortly after he hatched.  With the help of Sarcastra, Melkeya, and his father Love Hurts, Loveless was able to overcome the adversity of his poor genetics and sickly hatchlinghood to grow up to be an adult.  None of this made him a particularly friendly dragon; while he has a fierce devotion to his siblings and family, he is an unholy terror to virtually any other dragon that approaches him.  It is certain he inherited his foul disposition from his mother.
