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.

Strong, silent and largely solitary, Gorgon watches over the halls of Riddle hold. He prefers the night, and his own company. Whilst he doesn't shun his fellow dragons, he does spend hours and hours patrolling the borders of Riddle hold. The only two headed dragon amongst the Riddle horde, Gorgon seemed to be a serious, friendless if polite creature. However, a young female two headed hatchling called Medusa has been adopted into the hold, and her innate curiosity and cheerful nature has meant that the once sulky silent dark blue giant now has a light blue flittering shadow following him wherever he goes. Surprisingly, he likes it. He has never had enough friends to gain a a proper warrior's nickname, but Medusa calls him 'big blue'.
