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.

Split and Fissure are the two guardians assigned to the Lunar Temple to guard the giant moon stone that fell from the sky thousands of years ago. The moon stone, rumored to have mystical powers, is desired by royals and thieves, though none have been able to get hold of it yet. Split and Fissure live in the temple, opening the giant stone doors to anyone that can answer all of their riddles. Their riddles are quite difficult and only those having the sharpest of minds could ever hope to cross over the threshold to continue their quest. Only one witty human has ever completed Split and Fissure's riddles perfectly, and soon as he began to celebrate he was gobbled up in the blink of an eye. Silly human. Oh sure, they said they would let him through if he answered their questions correctly, but they never said they wouldn't eat him.
