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.

James is the foul-mouthed, crooked, and short-tempered left head. Windsor is the kind, patient, and old-English speaking head on the right. They don't get along at all. That's why one head is usually asleep when the other is awake—it stops them from fighting so much. But, they do have one thing in common. They desire power and a high status in the cave. Unfortunately, both lack a smooth tongue (James is too quick to anger, and Windsor's habit of speaking all-but-Latin-English are the main problems) and can't simply persuade the cave that they're the good guys. So... they fight for status.

When they put their heads together, James and Windsor can be a pretty fearsome pair—and are strong enough to put most dragons in their place, excluding Evan.

Because no one dares attack Evan.

No one.
