Amphisbaena
From Witcher Wiki
The amphisbaena is a giant serpent with a head at each end.
[edit] Notes
- Geralt killed an amphisbaena for King Idi of Kovir, as referred to in the short story The Lesser Evil.
- In Danusia Stok's translation of The Last Wish, the creature was called amphisboena.
- The name comes from Greek amphis, "both ways" and bainein, "to go"; the creature originated in Greek mythology.
[edit] In The Witcher computer game
In Act IV of the game, when Geralt is trying to get information out of the seemingly mute Fisher King, he asks if the lake is safe and whether or not there are amphisbenas in it.
