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.

Skywarp and Dreadwing may be residing within one body, but they do not share the same mind. Since hatching Skywarp has always picked on Dreadwing, resenting his control of the body. If it weren't for the fact that he feels his brother's pain as much as his own he would have gnawed Dreadwing off long ago. Skywarp has been hostile since birth, and attacked Dreadwing's head soon after hatching in an attempt to kill his other half. Thankfully their mother muzzled Skywarp but not before the damage was done. His brain was injured and has since not recovered, leaving his mental faculties sorely lacking. Skywarp has most of the body under his control, but Dreadwing still has a small share of it. He may still have the mentality of a hatchling, but he knows to never relinquish full control to his other half.
