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.

Enerwi spends most of the day picking up hunting slack from the rest of the brood owned by Tender Talon with her mate. Enerwi's heads spent a long time thinking it over and decided it was for the best, as the brood has a communal hunting system (that Enerwi invented) to ensure that all the dragons are fed fairly. Boewd is her mate and each head has chosen which other head they are truly mates with. Enerwi is her true name, but each head goes by a nickname. Enarwi's left head is called Tahn and the right head is called Djimm. Tahn does all the logical reasoning, and Djimm does all the creative thinking.
