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.

One head is female in personality, and the other male. Elizavetta, the female head, is rather strong-willed and has a mark shaped like a flower on her right ear. When she gets angry, she'll wield a strong lump of metal in her teeth and attempt to bash in the offender's head with it. The offender is, most of the time, Teutonic Knights, who delights in teasing the both of them.

The other head is Roderich, and he is more dignified. He has an aptitude for most musical instruments, and the scroll owner has had to convert several human instruments into one a dragon could play. One of his headspikes is shaped like a weird curl.
