Amphisbaena

Appearance
A Greek serpent-like creature with a head at each end, the necks are the same side so it is hard to tell if it is the front or the back. It has scaled chicken-like feet and feathered wings. It has a horn and two small round ears. Some have glowing eyes, while others are very dull and empty.

Origin
This beast was said to have spawned from the blood that dripped from Medusa's head when it was being flown over the Libyan Desert by Perseus. Cato's army encountered them later. They have since then made their home in the desert.

Folk Medicine
It is said that women with a live Amphisbaena around their necks would have safe pregnancies. If your wear its skin you can cure colds. If you eat Amphisbaena meat you will attract many lovers. If you kill one in the full moon, and you are pure of heart and mind, you will receive power.

This creature is also called amphisbaina, amphisbene, amphisboena, amphisbona, amphista, amfivena, amphivena, or anphivena
