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.

Gary and Stu, unfortunately, have an angst-ridden past. They were abandoned by their mother(s) and father(s) upon being hatched, since the other split dragons couldn't stand the sight of so much super special awesomeness in such young dragons. Rather than letting some unfeeling human adopt them, Gary and Stu lived on their own in the wild forests of Aar Pea Jei, and grew shiny and dashing over time. Gary is burly and brash with a fantastic sense of humor, and the limbs on his side of the body are muscled from all the heavy lifting he does. Stu, on the other hand, is slender and dark, and he spends his time pondering the Great Evil which he will someday have to face. One might think that such a contrast would look strange, but they pull it off perfectly. Mary and Sue are their Two True Loves, and they are quite willing to rip off the heads of any dragons who try to bother them.
