An amphisbaena is a very large snake with a head at both ends. In combat, the creature can make a bite attack in any two directions at once, as well as being able to wrap itself around its victim (this counts as a constriction attack) and possibly pinning him or her. An amphisbaena can survive with only one head.
Like all snakes, amphisbaena have poor eyesight, but are able to sense warm-blooded creatures accurately within twenty yards. Lanterns or torches will confuse them, reducing their I by D6 x 10 for that round.
Physique[]
A giant snake, with a head at either end. An amphisbaena can reach over twenty feet long and even a small one would be over ten feet.
Alignment[]
Psychological Traits[]
Amphisbaenae fear fire, but otherwise they are immune to all psychology rules. They cause fear in living creatures under ten feet tall.
Special Rules[]
Amphisbaenae may bite with either end or both heads or may constrict. Characters hit by a constriction attack must check to see whether their arms are free or not and can only escape either by making a test against S x 10 or by killing the creature. Bite attacks are venomous and characters failing a Poison test (T x 10) will die in 2D6 rounds.
