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.

Jashire was born to dragon parents who constantly struggled to hunt enough food to feed their family and encouraged their children to leave home to begin fending for themselves as soon as possible. As a result of their difficult and impoverished situation, Jashire's two heads work together uncommonly well for a two-headed dragon and almost never have any disagreements. Jashire wasn't raised in a very compassionate or loving environment, and therefore neither of his heads is particularly empathetic; when he met Freayana, a very well-to-do and sympathetic two-headed dragon, Jashire didn't hesitate to woo her, and, once he was her mate, take advantage of her station in life. He's never been a physically abusive or unfaithful mate, but he also hasn't given her any emotional affection since their courting days and he often uses his prestige as her mate to lord over and intimidate other dragons to get his way.
