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.

Answering to one name alone, Grimbeorn acts as one dragon despite being two-headed, both of his heads working in unison. Named for his grim nature, he originally spent most of his time isolated from the others in the cave, keeping to himself. But since finding a life-mate in the two-headed Tarienna, Grimbeorn has opened up more towards his cave-mates. For the longest time, he was the only one of his kind among his fellows and he longed for a mate of his own. After a time, and much to his delight, his mistress came upon a split egg, which hatched and grew into the gentle Tarienna. Grimbeorn the Grave was one of the first dragons to be discovered by Vinr and one of the eldest dragons listed on this scroll.
