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.

This dragon can't seem to decide whether or not the world is entering its golden age or slowly withering away. Nobody knows why he even thinks these things, but he's too busy arguing with himself to explain. The right head, the one of creativity, seems to be the optimistic one, always assuring that the world is merely growing better and better. The left head, of calculations and logic, seems to be the pessimistic one, always insisting that the world is in turmoil and will never recover. Nobody knows which one to believe, but it doesn't matter—the two heads don't really make that much sense, anyway. In fact, some wonder why they can't just settle on the world being in a iron age—it's between gold and nothing, as they say. And, as if to prove it, the humans are busy making iron tools, iron machines, iron buildings...
