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.

Liesls' and Susis' parents are Stan and Ollie and Alice and Ellen of Wyrmwood. Sounds complicated for one who isn't two-headed. Well, perhaps, but for one with more then one head it is normal. Liesl and Susi is the third female dragon of this kind of Wyrmwood, and the four leaders of Wyrmwood decided that she also is the last two-headed female who is going to stay in the Wood. The dragons label her as cunning and smart, and they often ask her for help. What Liesl doesn't know, Susi often does. They may think very contrary from time to time, but well—it is one dragon and those heads are always able to come to an agreement.
