'''Two-Headed Dragons''', more commonly known as '''"Splits"''', are an uncommon species of dragon. This is due to the fact they can only breed with other Two-Headed dragons. The male and female sprites are dimorphic and were one of the few breeds to have this feature before [[:Category:March 2010 - Dimorphism|Dimorphism]]. They were released during the times before the site had its own .net domain and when the sprite replacement project hadn't yet formed. They are commonly misconceived as being rare.

'''Split Dragons''', formerly known as "'''Two-headed Dragons'''", were released on October 12, 2007, and are considered an original species of Dragon Cave. They were released during the times before the site had its own .net domain and when the sprite replacement project hadn't yet formed. The male and female sprites are dimorphic and were one of the few breeds to have this feature before the [[:Category:2010-03-26 Dimorphism update|Dimorphism]] update, but following the sprite replacement project.
   
  +
Like all other [[:Category:Two-headed dragons|two-headed dragons]], they can only breed with their own kind and their eggs cannot be [[Breed Specific Actions#Bite|bitten]] by [[Vampire Dragon]]s.
When sorted by "Breed", they are listed as "2-headed dragon" on a user's scroll and as a result, are alphabetized before all other creatures.

On August 20, 2017, this breed's name was changed along with its adult description receiving an overhaul as part of site updates. Previously, when sorted by Breed, Split Dragons used to be listed as "2-headed dragon" and as a result were alphabetized before all other creatures. After an August 14, 2016 update, they sorted using their Encyclopedia name of "Two-Headed". Since the name change to "Split", they now sort by "Split" on a user's scroll.
Though Two-Headed Dragons and one headed dragons cannot breed, there is one occasion where a Silver and a Two-Headed Dragon bred. The Silver is shown as Deceased in this dragon's lineage, as this is its offspring: http://dragcave.net/view/A9xr. This is the Split parent: http://dragcave.net/view/cvAm. This is the Silver parent: http://dragcave.net/view/6lPA. The glitch was fixed by TJ09 soon afterward.

Split Dragons, formerly known as "Two-headed Dragons", were released on October 12, 2007, and are considered an original species of Dragon Cave. They were released during the times before the site had its own .net domain and when the sprite replacement project hadn't yet formed. The male and female sprites are dimorphic and were one of the few breeds to have this feature before the Dimorphism update, but following the sprite replacement project.

Like all other two-headed dragons, they can only breed with their own kind and their eggs cannot be bitten by Vampire Dragons.

On August 20, 2017, this breed's name was changed along with its adult description receiving an overhaul as part of site updates. Previously, when sorted by Breed, Split Dragons used to be listed as "2-headed dragon" and as a result were alphabetized before all other creatures. After an August 14, 2016 update, they sorted using their Encyclopedia name of "Two-Headed". Since the name change to "Split", they now sort by "Split" on a user's scroll.

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."
