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.

Cryptid is a very strange dragon.  He grew up obsessed with the supernatural, especially the eerie dark magic that frightens other dragons.  He collected skulls and attempted to curse objects, being fascinated by the outcomes of his attempts at magic.  His hobby was an innocent one and he never meant any harm to other dragons, they just wrongly perceived him as a danger.  For this reason, he was left alone.  Many dragons in the caverns refused to speak to him, afraid he would curse them if they frightened him.  That all changed one day when he met a young dragon very much like himself named Hestra.  She, herself, was a self-proclaimed witch and also liked to experiment with magic spells and especially potion-making.  The two hit it off right away, glad to finally have a friend that shared their interests.  To this day, the two have become mates and enjoy practicing their magic spells together.
