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.

Whenever any of the hatchlings need a comforting source of light to accompany them through the night or an adult dragon needs to set a romantic setting for a partner, they all go to FireflyNight. Known for the best collection of fireflies, she has a wide tallgrass meadow just behind her cave in which she cultivates fireflies from. Her customers always come to her at night so she may collect a jar or two of fireflies for them. Or better yet, on a starless night, many dragons gather there to see her "living stars". Her cave is never completely dark. She has glass jars from small to large dangling from the ceiling and on the shelves filled with those glow-bugs. The darkness of her cave and the lovely and gentle glow of the fireflies could make one feel like they have stepped into the starry night sky.
