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.

Bwyte (like white with a buh) was brought to the Bitterwind Valley Clan as an egg at the request of Tarn, who was feeling lonely for female company.  She grew up quickly, full of vigorous health. Unfortunately for Tarn, neither of Bwyte's heads were very nice to him at first.  The left head was snootily aloof and the right side was prone to scathing remarks.  Tarn constantly brought her food gifts, hoping to win her over. After enjoying watching him struggle and squirm and trip over his own tail, she finally relented her game of 'hard to get', and the two are now quite prolific!
