Because of their dual personalities, Duotone Dragons are extremely nervous and indecisive. When confronted, it is often the case that one head wants to fight while the other wants to run, resulting in the dragon trying to go in two directions at once. They are omnivorous, choosing to eat both vegetation and meat—although perhaps this is just another outcome of their indecisiveness.

Both heads can control the body, with each head having only marginal control on the opposing side of the body; this works when both halves want the same thing, but does not work as well when there is a disagreement. Despite this, Duotone Dragons can fly quite well, but can crash through the trees if one head becomes distracted.

Duotone Dragons can fight, using their large claws and heavy face plates to rend and bash their opponents.

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.

The Duotone dragons that roamed among the towering pines didn't always have an elaborate matriarchy in place to govern all two heads. While there is the royal family itself that both humans and dragons alike admire, none of it would be possible without the watchful eye of Matisse and Helga. As soon as a new heir would begin to break free of their shell the duo would be upon them in seconds to assist in the hatching. Matisse, the red scaled side, is the more motherly one. She will continue to preen and fuss over a young one long after they grow up. Even after they take the throne, she will be there to listen to their woes. Helga, the purple side, is much more protective. It is always her that leads a venture outside the caves they live in or lashes out at an out of line commoner. Matisse often scolds her other head for her rash actions, though is too soft spoken to suggest that maybe she should lead the next trip.
