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.

Separately, the two heads of this dragon are known as Tali and Nia, but they are more often known as Talinia the Fierce. Unlike many of their kind, Tali and Nia get along quite well with each other. That is, until something upsets them, and it sends the two females into a frenzy, blaming each other for whatever went wrong. The fights are vicious and long, and the entire clan, including mates Windchaser the Feral, sees it best to just leave the two of them to battle it out until, inevitably, they both collapse in exhaustion with no winner. Clan leader Alexandros the Unmoving sometimes wishes they fought enemies half as brutally as they fought each other, and that's already taking in the fact that they're a valuable asset to the clan's fighting force.
