 Amphiptere 

Species: Dragon Subspecies

Habitat: Mountainous Areas, Plains

Disposition: Emotionless, Passionate

Diet: Meat

An unusual subspecies of Dragon with feathers as well as scales, Amphipteres possess the lower body of a snake and Wyvern-like wings in place of arms. Like Wyverns, they can fly and are even more agile although they are not as fast. Unlike most members of the Dragon species, Amphipteres are calmly level-headed and appear almost emotionless when interacting with others including humans. However, like all mamono, they possess a lustful side and can become very passionate towards potential mates as a result. Like all members of the Dragon species, Amphipteres can temporarily assume the forms that they once had during the age of the previous Demon Lords. When they do transform, they resemble horned serpents with bat-like wings, beaked mouths and feathers.

When they encounter a man that they wish to claim as a husband, they either will swoop down to attack like a Wyvern or slither stealthily on the ground before pouncing. As they possess serpentine tails instead of legs, they will use their tails to coil around their victims as they mate, crying out in joyous ecstasy which sounds nothing like their usual quiet monotone voice. Unlike most members of the Dragon species, they are exceptionally stealthy regardless of whether they are flying in the sky above or slithering on the ground, so much so that they are often nicknamed as “Draconic Assassins”.

Once an Amphiptere has a husband of her own, she will become very affectionate towards him and will express it by coiling her tail or wrapping her wings around him. Possessing a strong sense of attachment towards their husbands, even by the standards of the Dragon species, Amphipteres will desire to be close to their husbands at all times. Like a Lamia, an Amphiptere can become rather possessive and will not hesitate to coil around her husband as a way to tell potential rivals as she will not share him with anyone else.
