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.

Segrith and Lirith are the names of a Split dragon. They are the daughter(s) of Kemsyth and Ramsyth and Aquaieth and Isolieth. Both the heads have very different personalities, with Segrith being a rather introverted dragon who enjoys housework and reading and Lirith being a very carefree dragon who enjoys flying around over the mountaintops. As a hatchling, the two heads tried to go in opposite directions a few times, found they couldn't, and accepted it. They try to balance out the day between them, but often wind up quarreling. They have to make up sometime later, but until then, it is impossible to carry on a conversation with either of them.
