In the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' fantasy role-playing game, the '''amphisbaena''' is a snake-like [[magical beast]] based upon the [[Wikipedia:Amphisbaena|Amphisbaena]] of Greek mythology. As in myth, it is a giant serpent with a head at both ends. It travels by grasping one head in the other and rolling like a hoop. The fangs of the Amphisbaena are so poisonous that anything successfully bitten by it dies instantly. For some reason, it is immune to cold-based attacks.
Amphisbaenae cannot speak, being animals.
They are regarded as neutral in alignment.
