Name: Amphisbaena Title: Reptilia Serpenta Homelands: Ocean, Land Type of Offense: Teeth, Claws Type of creature: Two-Headed Serpent
Description: The Amphisbaena is a serpent with two heads and eyes that glow like candles. It has a head at each end of its body. This is how it got its name which means "goes both ways" in Greek. It is also called the "mother of ants", because it feeds on ants. If it is chopped in half, the two parts will join again. The wearing of a live Amphisbaena is a supposed safeguard in pregnancy. The wearing of a dead one is a remedy for rheumatism.
