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.

The two brothers, Jakyll and Hyde are always fighting over something. Jakyll is a brilliant mind, and fascinated with science he will (much to Hyde's dismay) spend hours crouched over various texts explaining the world through the name of science. He and Illiarid, who shares Jakyll's love for science often gather to exchange ideas and review each other's work. However Jakyll isn't as against magic as Illiarid is and thinks that the Stripe's desire to disprove the Magis is ridiculous. Hyde, on the other paw, is rather simple minded. His brother's interests bore him, and he would much rather go rampaging through a human village than listening to Jakyll and Illiarid go on and on about their latest experiment. They often have arguments about the simplest of things that can escalate into an all-out fight, but they never last long as the dull and dimwitted Hyde generally looses interest.
