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.

Freayana's two heads are very much like close sisters, frequently squabbling but never meaning it seriously and always working together when it really matters. Both heads are extremely kind, sympathetic, and sensitive; when Freayana met Jashire, an impoverished but charming dragon, she was completely wooed by him and persisted in running off and mating with him despite the fact that her stuffy, well-to-do parents disowned her for it. She still maintained quite a bit of prestige and power in her own right, and after their mating she was dismayed to find out that this was the only reason Jashire had paid attention to the first place; he became cold and indifferent towards her as he took advantage of her social position. Freayana was afraid to leave him, thus not only proving her family right but also forcing her to fend for herself, and so with much despair she resigned herself to a life of his cold treatment,  finding a little solace in affectionately raising her dragon babies.
