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.

Kiselth and Turselth are the two heads of a Split dragon. Unfortunately, like some of her species, both the heads have completely different personalities. Kiselth is a nightflyer, while Turselth is at her best during the day. Kiselth is an introvert, preferring a quiet gathering with a small group. Turselth loves huge parties with plenty of growling and gossip. Kiselth enjoys learning warrior skills, Turselth enjoys learning dragon music. The list of differences can go on and on. The worst, as far as the duo are concerned is that Kiselth is (or wants to be) a pure vegetarian, and Turselth is a confirmed carnivore. The entire family has been drawn into the debate, with half of them deciding that it doesn't really matter what goes into the shared stomach as long as the two eat what they want. The other half feel that they should pick one diet and stick with it. The few who have managed to stay out of the arguement privately agree that this particular conflict is never going to be resolved quickly.
