The Amphisbaena is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII. It is the monster the player first sees during the opening credits—just after the Square Enix title appears—when the game is turned on for the first time. The Amphisbaena is first encountered in the Archylte Steppe, and quite a few can be found flying around, and eventually hovering above the player, once it spots the party. Numerous Amphisbaena can also be found in The Cloven Spire after defeating Dahaka. A single Amphisbaena can also be found in The Palisades.
