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.

Unlike Aettin, Haplox does not suffer from a sense of exclusion from the rest of the pack. He simply couldn't care less. His scrollmates may be beautiful, strong, or clever in their own ways, but they are all limited in a way that he is not—they have only one brain.

Even Spellslinger, arguably the most intelligent of the pack, cannot compare to Haplox's cerebral capability. He views the others with pity—they can only see a problem or challenge with one set of eyes.

At least, that's HIS point of view. And no one can EVER say they've seen him crying to himself in the corner (well, at least not both heads at once)!
