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.

While by no means stupid, Imperative and Peromptery try to appear more knowledgeable than they actually are. While it is one dragon, presumably, she makes a song and dance about being individuals, too which she avidly agrees... with herself Anyway, as part of keeping up appearances they discuss many things throughout the day, usually with impressive dialogue and intriguing counterarguments between the two heads. To Shrel, who cannot passively hear draconic communication unless intently directed at him, it just looks weird as can get. The human is not even able to get the gist of the conversation, which other dragons occasionally add their two cents to, as the gestures are completely alien to him, and the topics unusual (though completely normal and sensible to giant magical sentient reptilian creatures.)
