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.

Among all of the perfectly colored eggs producing perfectly colored dragons, Schizo was not one of them. The freak egg had come from normal parents. The parents tried to avoid the egg, and were often shamed. So, it sat there. For days, and days. But even with that shame, the parents still checked to see if it was starting to hatch or anything. But once they came to check, and the egg was gone. But there was a huge hole in the wall of the cave. Unknown to the parents, a dragon had taken it, seeing its neglect. This was a twin-headed dragon, with a major case of schizophrenia. He was Schizo. But Schizo was dying, and dropped dead at the foot of a mountain next to a river, where a cave was that housed a friend of dragons, Eef. The egg hatched when Eef found it, and as it was also two-headed and had mild schizophrenia, called it Schizo.
