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.

Pirinja's name is a cross between "pirate" and "ninja." It suits her personality perfectly: the silent and deadly ninja and the loud, but lethal pirate. Like many other two-headed dragons, each of Pirinja's heads has a different personality. One of her heads is quieter in general. She has better hearing and eyesight, which is a great asset while hunting. Her other head is loud and bumbling. However, this head is the one that often goes for the kill. She is just as lethal, if not more, than the other head. Because of their differences, it is hard for them to get along properly. But when working together, they make a deadly team.
