Abilities[]
When it properly positions its body, the Amphisbaena has the capacity for a 360-degree range of vision. In addition, it is not uncommon for one end of the Amphisbaena to bite the other end, making a hoop formation that allows it to roll around for quicker travel, much like the Hoop Snake.
