Hunted and Hated. The ichneumon's very existence is a source of humiliation and outrage for dragonkind. The mention of a dragon's name who was killed by an ichneumon is considered distasteful among dragons once they have hunted for the killer and settled the matter. Different standards of decency apply for other beings, however, and any non-dragon foolish enough to mention an ichneumon within hearing of a dragon might never be heard from again.
