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.

Moonclaw and Sunfang, although a Split dragon, despise each other greatly. They are almost completely different and can be heard arguing with each other throughout the day because of their diverse personalities. Moonclaw is more of the silent type and prefers secluded areas instead of crowded ones. He is also most active at night, and likes to be around with the Sunset dragons. Sunfang, however, is the complete opposite. He loves basking in the early morning sun with the Sunrise dragons and is the loud, joyous type. Sunfang prefers to be in audience with many dragons at once. Because of their differences, the Split dragon can never agree on anything and annoy each other to death. The only thing that they had agreed upon was that Moonclaw would sleep in the day and Sunfang would sleep at night. Whenever this Split dragon is seen in the cave, one head is always dangling down, captured within a blissful slumber.
