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.

Vim and Vigor are a good-natured Split pair, and the first child of Junni and Plautus and Terence. They have inherited their father's sense of humor, and fill their days with inside jokes of their own, along with much criticism of their humor. However, the two are decidedly more serious and harsh than their father. In battle, it might seem that they would be laidback and lazy, but, instead, they put their mind to work to create new plans and strategies, making them a surprisingly tough opponent.  They are filled with determination and a need to succeed, feeling inferior to other dragons. When they were a hatchling, they were often taunted viciously by other dragons, and beaten very badly once. They feel now that they must prove themselves to be powerful, and can be very insecure about it.
