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.

Many dragons believe that being related to the thuweds, the first of all dragons, is an honor without parallel; but this female finds it only mildly worthy of boasting over, and is far prouder of her strength than her lineage. Able to take down many of even the strongest black dragons, she has largely dispelled the misconception that split dragons are lacking in intelligence, combining the superior wit of both her minds to outsmart and overpower her opponents. However, despite her taste for battle, she does it for sport rather than malice, and the only serious fights she has are those directed against dragons who would do others harm.
