 | | Rooster-like in appearance, the aitvaras is easily confused with the cockatrice for the two chimerical dragons have similar physical features. |
 | | However, the aitvaras is famed mostly for its fiery tail that, when rubbed against ash, bursts into flames; a lethal weapon often employed against enemies. |
 | | Brought to life when the blood from the gorgon Medusa was spilt on the desert sand, the amphisbaena (also amphisbena, amphivena, Greek for "goes both ways") or tail-biter, has a second head at its tail-end, both of which are the same size as the rest of its body (Nigg, 2002). |
