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.

Together, Raque (left head) and Bebe (right head) form a ruthless team of liars. They take immense pleasure in "berating" (more like "bullying") smaller and weaker dragons, usually for slight mishaps or crimes they didn't commit. Unfortunately, their cruelty is often taken seriously by others, usually due to the argument of "two heads equal more witnesses", and are often applauded and rewarded for their so-called heroism. Their ferocity may derive from an unfulfilled desire to be respected by others; as younglings, they were heavily mistreated by their peers for being slightly smaller than the average Two-Headed hatchling. They utilize their pitiful past to gain sympathy from others, which they then use as a tool to boost their accusations.
