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.

Elsreth and Milsreth are the two heads of a Split dragon. Unfortunately, like some Split dragons, the Elsreth and Milsreth rarely see eye to eye with each other. Indeed, they do not seem to want to agree with each other at all! If Elsreth decides that to go for a long flight, Milsreth decides that she wants to stay at home and sleep. If Milsreth decides that it is a good day to go looking for gemstones, Elsreth decides that the day would be better spent in training for battle. And it can go on and on, despite the fact that the two sisters actually have very similar tastes. Trying to intervene in the middle of one of their disagreements is, while not exactly hazardous, a guaranteed way to get yourself a migraine.
