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.

Hapxi and Ni'awtu is a hunter for the Slashclaw clan, as well as a caretaker for the eggs and hatchlings. While Hapxi prefers the latter job and the company of other dragons, Ni'awtu likes to stalk through the undergrowth with just the plants surrounding him. He takes both the jobs of hunter and caretaker to compromise- on one day, Hapxi is happy interacting with hatchlings and their parents, and on the next, Ni'awtu has the comfort of being alone. The only thing he doesn't like about this compromise is the complaints of whichever head is displeased by the current task, which often puts a damper on the happy head's experience. Sometimes, Hapxi and Ni'awtu wishes he was split into two completely different dragons, and is trying to find a magi dragon who might be able to perform this operation.
