Amphisbaena

==Amphisbaena==
The amphisbaena (plural: amphisbaenae) is a medium-sized reptile with two heads. It is about five feet long (perhaps the length of a leg, when not fully stretched out). Its bite--which it can deliver with either head, but not simultaneously--does 1d-4, plus 1d toxic against a HT-5 roll.
An amphisbaena can move in either direction in any given turn. They are solitary creatures, active any time of day or night. They are not aggressive but will attack if threatened or even disturbed.
Rumors: There are said to be very large amphisbaenae - up to 20 feet (6m) long. These could attack at 1-hex reach with both heads at once, and would consider humans food. Some say the poison of both the large or the small amphisbaena is type C and type F instead of type A and type D.
