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.

Notorious among the two-headed community on Clementine, Franks have always been interested in biology, going so far as to conduct experiments on whatever poor creature they are able to lay claws on. They do not think very highly of Gemma, who has banned them from going anywhere near drakes. This is enforced by Hezron, whom Abel has set as Franks' watcher.

However, Franks have a hidden skill—charisma. Although Hezron was stationed to keep Franks' experiments in check, Franks are still able to convince him to assist, utilising his weather abilities to power their more ambitious set ups. Despite the obligatory nature of their relationship, the three have a very amiable relationship. (Even with Franks purposely pushing his boundaries at times.)
