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 can be forgiven for thinking Moonlight Azure is one dragon, for her two brains are closely synchronized, acting almost as one. They rarely disagree, except on matters of the mates. Half of Moonlight Azure, which likes to be called Moonlight, prefers to be alone, whereas Azure suffers from isolation due to Moonlight's demands. As compromise, they've found a mate with similar beliefs, Autolycus and Medus. As Moonlight matches views with Medus, they never have to worry about mating, wheras Autolycus can freely mate the single body with Azure's. Both dragons are appeased by the arrangement.
