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.

When she was a hatchling, Krysaliss was ugly, her limbs gangly and her wings too wide for her body. When she matured she turned from ugly to the most beautiful two headed dragon in nearby lands. Once she realized this, she put her talents to good use at magi Fatin's encouragements. She would lure males of other lairs away from the defense—and then kill them without a second thought. She has a fierce love of everything she considers her family, but any other dragon is nothing to her. At best other dragons are another form of prey. Upon Fatin's encouragement, she has laid eggs for the lair, and dotes on her gentle daughter Trecia, as well as any other of the lair's hatchlings that come her way. Her heads bicker often, and one is almost always talking. Only in battle are they quiet.
