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.

A large, clumsy sample of a dragon, this one acts much like a ferociously stupid dog. Should any creature wander within his range, he'll go full-out after them, roaring and snarling and generally foaming at the mouth; however, all his would-be meal has to do is sprint underneath a stone bridge or a similar structure. This guy will try to follow, promptly smack his heads against the overhang, and pass out unconscious... leaving the smug 'victim' to saunter back and steal what gold the creature's collected. Actually, perhaps this is the reason the poor thing is so surly.

Some would say he got his name from the skill with which he lashes out with his tails and claws, but others say it arose from the pleasant sound his skulls make as they collide with hard objects.
