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.

Manac is a fairly strange dragon, not only because he has two joined heads, but because the two never seem to get along well. Ma is the gentler of the two, able to take life slowly and in stride, unlike Nac. He is extremely benevolent as well. Ma wouldn't be able to bring himself to harm a fruit fly, and he is extremely gentle with hatchlings. Ma enjoys the beauty of nature as well, and he can often be found sitting at the cave entrance and watching the last rays of sunlight fade from the valley.

Nac, on the other hand, is the complete opposite- cold, calculating, and sarcastic. He's the one most in control, much to the dislike of Ma, and is always up for a fight, even among the kindest of dragons in the clan. Nac can't stand hatchlings, frequently insulting them by calling them "annoying little twerps". He also can't stand the outdoors, which gives him a perfect reason to hate the seasonal dragons. Needless to say, none of the clan members are very fond of him.
