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.

Hermaphroditis qualifies only partially as a woman. He was originally a man, son of Hermes and Aphrodite. He inherited the beauty of his parents and was brought up by the nymphs of Mt. Ida. When he was young, for some reason he went to Helicarnassus, and one day happened to rest near a spring called Salmacis. The nymph of the spring fell desperately in love with the beautiful youth. While he was bathing in the spring, Salmacis embraced him and begged the gods to unite them forever. The gods granted this request, and they became a single body which was externally both genders.
