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.

Daryl and His Brother Daryl are an oddity among dragons. With the benefit of two heads, they are able to remember only one name. They were very slow to learn and have always been about two steps behind in the dance of life. They seldom get jokes and when they do, it is late. They can sometimes be heard repeating the punchline to themselves and giggling hours after the joke had been told. SilverBlue Sheild is as protective of them as she is of the hatchlings and will put herself and her sheild between them and any stranger who might be unsympathetic to their specialness. Those of the other dragons who might not have the patience to deal with them, avoid them.
