The Amphisbaena, also called a giant two-headed snake, is a huge fearsome serpent with a head at each end of its 10- to 15-foot body; each head can attack a different opponent within that range, and any opponent bitten must save vs. Poison or die.
An amphisbaena can clasp its mouths together, forming a hoop, and in this form move at double speed over relatively smooth terrain (especially including roads or trails) for an extended period of time. Obviously it cannot attack while moving in this fashion.
