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.

Nothing is peaceful when Nova and Minerva are around. People and dragons alike are advised to steer clear of them...or at least bring some earplugs, or pain meds for the migraine you'll get for not heeding this warning.

Nova and Nerva have a stark personality contrast. Minerva is a stuck-up know-it-all with a superiority complex. She loves bossing others around with that omnipotent tone of hers. Messy and self-centered, Nova is about as subtle as a 400 foot tall platypus with pink horns and silver wings.

As you might imagine, they don't get along very well. Minerva tries to avoid fighting. Says it's below her station, until Nova taunts her by calling her a crackpot. For some reason, this insult really gets to her.

Occasionally, when they aren't behaving abominably, Nova and Minerva can be rather astute and insightful. Nova loves to star gaze and unusually worldly and Minerva knows more trivia than any other dragon in the Northern Clans and has a sharp wit.
