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.

Princess Vittoria, the beautiful wife of Prince Arlando, is a kind and gentle as well as a highly intelligent dragon.  Princess Vittoria met Arlando when he was traveling to her lands and through their intense discussions of politics, quickly fell in love with him and returned to the Scroll.  She often travels with her husband on his trips to foreign lands with the Scroll Ambassador to negotiate politics.  However, when heavy with an egg she will stay on the Scroll and is highly involved in the Scroll Politics, advising the King when Prince Arlando and the Ambassador are not present.  She has yet to raise a hatchling that will stay on the scroll and most likely will not, busy with negotiating and coming up with political strategies, putting her extensive schooling to good use.
