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.

Silver and Mountainroot are the second in command of the home cave, after Preto Osso.  The Split and the Alpha Gray get along well, due to their like-minded love of action.  They have their eyes on Aspiration and Inspiration to be their mate, but never speak aloud of it due to the fact that the two Splits are so remarkably different.  Mountainroot is the more intelligent of the heads, and often has to quietly translate for Silver many of the more large and obscure words that Aspiration and Inspiration are consistently using.  Although they love to listen to her more exciting stories, they outwardly keep up the appearance of being impatient and intolerant of the female Split's intelligence and 'bookish' behaviour.
