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.

Ova, the left head, has a very cowardly personality and prefers to stay out of any situations that arise in their cave. One time, a hatchling went missing and every single dragon, aside from a few expecting mothers and the males who guard them, left the cave to look for it. Ova was the only one that didn't want to be involved because she was afraid something had happened to it and she might get hurt too.

Peya, the right head, has a more adventurous personality. Unfortunately, she is also generous so it's very typical for Ova to get her way despite the wants of Peya. She is often very troubled by how little they get to do, but she knows if she did insist they go, it wouldn't matter because of Ova's reservations. Ova wouldn't pay attention and then they would just get hurt.

Although the two heads have their conflicts, they still enjoy long and intellectual conversations together.
