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.

Abre and Reeber are two very musical dragons and often amuse themselves by singing duets. They consider themselves gifted singers who can make up witty lyrics on the spot. To about everyone else, they are two brain-bruised buffoons that screech obscenities at each other in a loud tone. Mothers often steer their hatchlings away from Abre and Reeber to keep their small ones' ears innocent. However, Abre and Reeber's music is a big hit with adolescent dragons who like a heavy beat and a shrieking tune. You can often tell where Abre and Reeber are because they are surrounded by a crowd of skinny, pimply dragons with unnatural scale colors (most likely dyed), fur cut spiky, tattoos, and piercings.
