Split Dragons use their sharp teeth and wings to hunt large animals and rarely eat plants. They are intelligent dragons who enjoy mental challenges, preferably alone; Split Dragons are normally solitary except during mating season. When mating, many dragons come together in a group to raise their eggs and hatchlings. These groups tend to be very noisy—reminiscent of a thunderstorm—and last only until the hatchlings are capable of surviving on their own.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

Maria Maria's heads are always quarreling to the point where they never have time to find themselves food, and they initially didn't have enough gold hoarded to buy any. Therefore, for the past several hundred years, they have been working in the Heal Sector since the only thing on which the heads seem to agree is the importance of helping others.

I Think I Understand, a White dragon employed in the Heal Sector, initially protested this dragons' employment, since she refused to eat plants and, Understand argued, that was against their pacifist philosophies. Xavier O'Riordan, the leader of EG's White dragons, and Heal Sector Guardian disagreed with this reasoning, as helping others does come at some cost. They agreed to overlook this dragon's carnivorous lifestyle and accept her help.

However, Maria Maria has had an ongoing intense feud with I Think I Understand.
