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.

A sort of black sheep amongst the entire clan, Hilda and Heidi are a playful, happy-go-lucky pair. They are a constant source of amusement, disgust, and exasperation for the clan, mainly amusement for the hatchlings. They, along with a handful of the other females keep close care over the young ones, but what sets them apart is that they take the most part in playing with them instead of suggesting games, as the older females are wont to do. Heidi, the head on the right, is talkative, brash and rather dim. Hilda, the head on the left, is a bit shy, but an excellent singer and tale spinner. They truly are a hatchling whose body has outgrown their maturity, and they like it that way.
