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.

John and Wayne are the twenty third dragon(s) of the Natashina clan and are very inquisitive and friendly. When they first hatched, they were shunned for their appearance and they would often find ways to occupy themselves. They went wandering towards the farms out to the east. They ended up making a game of scaring the livestock, mainly by charging forward and then dodging at the last second. This did not endear them to the local farmers, John and his son Wayne. The two ran after the confused hatchling and JW left quickly. Yet, the hatchling was so impressed with the farmers' display of bravery that they decided to take on their names. John and Wayne have easy going personalities and they always have a ready smile on their face. As they grew up, the rest of the clan accepted the split dragon and welcome their presence. They enjoy flying high with Windlash as well as diving for fish with Waterhawke.
