Nexus Dragons are massive, volatile beasts surging with magical power. Each half of a Nexus Dragon’s body is infused with fire or ice mana, and it is believed that the unstable nature of these paired elements drives the dragon mad as it grows in size and strength. They are strict carnivores, preferring to feed on dragons and other creatures that naturally possess magic in order to bolster their own stores. As Nexus Dragons age, fire and ice mana crystals grow all over their bodies, enhancing both their power and viciousness.

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.

Nothing is cut and dried with Cut and Dried. If something can be made more complicated, the dragon will make it more complicated. Other dragons wonder if she ate one too many duotones and somehow developed indecision and waffling from her meals. (Most are aware that magic probably doesn't work that way, but it could happen.) Some braver individuals made a game out of trying to ask Cut and Dried a question so simple and in a way where "it depends" and requests for elaboration are impossible. The difficulty is why the game is fun. A fever wyvern did eventually win at the game and was rewarded with a frustrated Cut and Dried blasting him with fire and ice, killing him instantly. This game no longer gets played very much.
