Amphithere

==The Flying Serpents==
Amphitheres are the most bizarre out of all of their cousins. They have no legs, and wings for forearms. They more resemble a flying snake than a relative of the mighty Dragon. They live in and around the Ranger's Archipelago, so they're fast swimmers and skillful hunters of the sea.
===Wings===
The Amphithere is strange-not because it has wings-but because the wings that it does have are feathered, and not protected with scales. Their wings boast a bright color, used for finding mates and challenging rivals. The brighter and bigger the wings, the more likely it will be able to mate. However, their wings do resemble a Wyvern's or a Dragon's wing, because it has the same thin structure that its scaly counterparts have.
===Runes===
The Amphithere cannot speak any regular language, but there are strange patterns written on the beast. They are confirmed by scholars to be runes of some kind, but they cannot read them as the Amphithere is a shy creature. Adventurers that have slain an Amphithere have reported that its runes disappear once it is dead, and all the color flushes away from its wings.
===Breath===
The Amphithere holds no firey breath, unlike its cousins the Wyvern and the Dragon.
===Mana Pool===
The Amphithere has an incredibly large mana pool, and can cast a wide variety of spells. Most of its spells are meant for a quick getaway, so catching an Amphithere alive is something to brag about. They do have skills in offensive spells, but they usually don't have them.
===Birth===
When an Amphithere is born, it does not have wings and can be mistaken for a snake. Amphitheres give birth to live young, so eggs are not obtainable. To own an Amphithere is a feat in itself.
===Pet===
An Amphithere has many uses as a companion. They can change the color of their scales and feathers, and cast a wide variety of spells. Some of them can change their size, and others their shape! Thieves and assassins covet this useful animal and grow bonds with them, as they are as valuable and skillful as they. No Thief is complete without an Amphithere.
===Language===
Amphitheres have their own texts and language, but they carve them into the rocks of coasts and islands for all to see. They can learn a human's language, but with some effort. Their forked tongues cannot seperate like the Dragon's and Wyvern's, so they must learn techniques to speak the primitive Common tongue.
