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.

Who Brings Together Ka coordinates the hunts for the weyr.  With his two heads constantly swiveling about, he is able to keep track of the many hunters in the sky, as well as the stampeding herds.  His mate, Who Lets Throats Breathe, is in charge of ground operations, and they are training their daughter alongside the black dragons they direct.  <br/>Once home in the weyr, Who Brings Together Ka likes to spend time debating the nature of dragons with the more philosophically inclined silvers and whites.  Both heads get into the argument, often drowning out the other dragon by dint of sheer numbers.  He believes that each egg contains a piece of both the mother's and the father's souls, or Kas, that combine within the shell, and that splits like himself occur when the souls do not fuse together properly.  He does prefer to think of himself as single entity, since the two heads share nearly every thought.
