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.

MellyBelly is playful, caring and curious; that is how she met her mate, KevBo. She was plucking dandelion puffs and seeing how far she could make the seeds fly by flapping her wings, when some panicked sheep ran over the top of the small hill she was on and dashed away blindly. Several of them headed for a cliff; MellyBelly quickly darted in front of them and redirected them to safety. She then flew a sweep over the area to see if any of the others were hurt. One old sheep had broken its leg, so MellyBelly put it out of its misery and ate it for lunch.

Wondering what had scared the poor sheep in the first place, she headed up the hill and narrowly missed plowing into the handsomest dragon she had ever seen. He was collecting intriguing items he found in the hills, and MellyBelly happily assisted him. Their conversation led to much time spent together and wondrous flights, each delighting in the other.
