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.

I Told You is an inveterate fan of the long dead entertainer Piff The Very Funny Dragon. Seeing Piff's grave with its epitaph—which he took as his own name in homage—depresses I Told You beyond despair. Every year he takes bouquets of greenish blooms and places them upon the grave of his hero. He lives in hope that one day he will meet up with Piff in the Hereafter. Until then, he treks sadly through his banal existence and sneezes. A lot.
