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.

Semera and Ryuna are two very brave dragons, capable of very great things, with two very different morales, stuck on one body. Semera's philosophy on life is that when you band together and help each other, then there is no loser. Ryuna, on the other hand, believes that you should only look out for yourself, helping others means that you're a sitting duck for betrayal. The two heads are hard to confuse, because Ryuna's head is a sinister, dark blue with black patches, and Semera's is a light, trusting, sky blue with white patches. Normally they fight each other, (Semera often winning) but when they wish to fight one enemy, it's almost like releasing ten groups of angry tigers... only with more fire.
