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.

Duvolt's two heads are called Duvoltar and Duvoltir. Duvolt is Jumea's mate.

Duvoltar really likes Jumea, but he is always a little suspicious. He believes that Chenziro, the other split male, has shown interest in her, even though everyone knows who is who's mate. This makes Duvoltir very protective of her, something she does not enjoy.

Duvoltir more worried about what the clan as a whole thinks of him and his brother. He will often remind Duvoltar to act more composed and is always looking over his shoulder. He believes every sideways glance or hushed conversation between other dragons is the clan planning to release him. His greatest fear is having to leave the Amethyst cave and live with the wild dragons.
