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.

Naja and Fia consider themselves to be the guardians of an old temple. Throughout the temple there are booby traps and tricks, meant to test minds and only let the sharpest through to the treasure. Naja and Fia had long since ran the gauntlet and passed with flying colors. But they felt that the tests were a little lacking. Naja took it upon herself to guard the front of the door and ask trivia questions and riddles before letting anyone come inside. Fia reigns over the exit, asking even tougher questions before allowing anyone to exit. Ever since they decided to help out, fewer people have been getting in and even fewer people are getting out. Naja and Fia don't know what happens to the people trapped inside, but judging from the smell, they don't last very long.
