Amphiptere (also called Amphithere, Amphitere, or Phipthere) is a term used to describe a type of legless winged serpent found in European heraldry.
Description[]
Ampitheares are one of the most restricted dragon species anatomically speaking. They can have either feathered (normally greenish-yellow) or bat wings, long or short necks, and often decorative or arrow-tipped tail much like a wyvern's. Some ampitheare races do have other characteristics, but they aren't very major and consist mainly of feather or scale size, head shape, body length and any necessary adaptions for their environment.
Amphitheres in Popular Culture[]
The famous long-running Dragons toy line from Mega Bloks featured an evil amphithere named Gryndel, who, as a Shadow Dragon, fed on the life force of enemy warriors. His element was Aluminum. Amphiphteres are also present in the Dragonology book series as well as the book Dracopedia: A Guide to Drawing the Dragons of the World.
