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.

The moment he was born the magi Fatin proclaimed that the two headed dragon was to live his life in battle. Immediately he was trained under Arron and red Adine. Even when Ove was hatchling the stone Arron would bring him into battle and force him to kill injured and defenseless dragons. He grew up surrounded by violence and now responds in kind. He is a fierce angry male listening only to Fatin's orders and killing any she points a claw to. He has even killed one of their lair at her orders. He holds no love for any of the females, though grudgingly produced eggs with Krysaliss when told to. He has many scars on him and loves giving them to others. After savaging two of the hatchlings, he is no longer allowed to watch them. When left without any other opponent, his left head usually fights with the right, and he is blind in his far right eye because of this.
