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.

She is one of the children of the first pair of Two-Headed dragons her Master raised. The other, a Male of the species, is her brother and mate, much to their Master's dismay. Together, they've had one child. A normal occurence within the species, Maya and Kayla have opposite personalities, with Maya being the tamer, docile dragon, and Kayla being the wilder, more out-going of the two. Maybe it was this that had attracted her mate, Midnite and Twilite, in the first place.

The 'two' dragons work in the Offense force alongside their father, one of the few things Red would approve of, as he and their Alpha, Tarkie, share similar views on how the pack would be run.
