Bauta Dragons are easily identified by the fused, golden scutes that cover their twin heads in gleaming, gilded masks. They are regal in bearing, and tend to possess a serene disposition. These dragons are most active in early spring during the height of their mating season, engaging in jovial rituals of courtship to woo prospective mates. Bautas are found on temperate islands and lagoons, and are especially fond of sea-mounts near shore. They happily share territory with humans, and take notable interest in the affairs of mankind.

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.

Fat and Skinny determined that "Fat and Skinny" is a great name for herself, despite her two heads' sharing the same (some would say tubby) body. They are so agreeable that the dragon might as well be single-headed; one has probably met many single-headed dragons who argue with themselves more than Fat and Skinny does. There is little reason for others to refer to her as two minds—"Fat and Skinny is" rather than "Fat and Skinny are". On days where the weather is nice, she wears her favorite leaf cloak and wyrm-scute bra and goes on a long stroll around the lake. Sometimes, larger creatures and mean dragons think she's a delicious meal and try to eat her, which upsets her a bit because the exertion often damages her pretty clothes.
