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.

Though most Neglected dragons are bitter and rebellious, Ion is an optimistic and friendly dragon. This is because her human friend 5ilence felt bad about having treated her so poorly as an egg, and was very devoted to her care once she hatched. Her body is weak even by her kind's standards, not even having been able to get free of her egg without a Pebble dragon breaking it open first. She likes the attention many strangers give her, and doesn't feel bad about the way she is. The other dragons tolerate her, and Sabishii, Suemos, and Angela Negai are even friends with her. Her voice was unharmed by her neglect, and she can sing beautifully.
