An Amphiptere also called Amphithere, Amphitere, or Phipthere is a type of winged serpent that breathes fire, and is found in European heraldry.
Most Amphipteres have greenish-yellow feathers, a serpentine body similar to a lindworm, bat-like green wings with feathered bone, and an arrow-tipped tail much like a wyvern's. Others are described as entirely covered in feathers with a spiked tail, bird-like wings, and a beak-like snout. Even more rare are the one's with legs.
