Kamigawan Sky Serpent

The Kamigawan Sky Serpent (Amphithera camigae) is a feathered, bi-winged serpent that resides in the jungles of Kamigawa on the subcontinent of Vastallos. It has been regarded as being "top of the food chain" in the jungles for the past eight thousand (8,000) years. Their grip on the jungle is one of the main reasons many couldn't settle in the jungles until projectile based weapons like bows were invented.

The name comes from the jungle it resides in, as well as what the locals have called it since around 1400 BCA. In reality, they aren't very closely related to the serpents of the sea. In fact, they are closer in relation to the Wyvernidae family than the Apterodraconidae family. This is due to the fact that they aren't truly serpents at all, they are Amphitheres. This is shown in their genus name Amphithera. The full scientific name Amphithera camigae comes from the Southern Vastallosi (Asturc-Dracadian) term for Kamigawa.

While the Sky Serpents usually keep to themselves, there are reports of homes being attacked during periods of decline in the Vastallosi Wyvern (Wyvernis vastallosus) population. For this reason, they became a top target for hunters looking to rid their villages of the Sky Serpents. As mentioned prior, their main food source is the Vastallosi Wyvern, which makes them carnivorous. While the Vastallosi Wyvern is their primary prey, they have been observed eating Common Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) on occasion. It's believed that the feathers on the Sky Serpent's body are for attracting mates and intimidating trespassers in their territory. They have a large crest of feathers along the back of their head.
