I'm designing monsters for against the fall of night again
AMPHISBAENA (LEVEL 3, GIANT)
An amphisbaena is a twin-headed snake.  Each head acts independently and can take actions in the same or a different phase.  The amphisbaena as a whole can move only once per round.  Each head also has its own stats and must be defeated independently.
Left Head
Wounds 12, Vitality 18
Armor 0, Aura 3
Combat Skill +0, Magic Skill +3
Toughness +1, Quickness +1, Mind +3
Spells (6 MP total):
Numbing Bite* (0 MP): The amphisbaena lunges with a poisonous bite.  1d20+3 to hit, 1d8+3 damage.  A character damaged by this attack reduces their choice of AP or DP by the damage taken in the next round and the Right Head gains that many AP or DP in the next round.
Spears of Fire* (5 MP): Spears of fire rain down on up to five targets.  Each target takes 2d6 fire damage (Quickness half).
Defense Techniques (6 MP total):
Poison Shield (1 MP): The attack’s damage is reduced by 3, and the attacker takes 1 poison damage (ignoring Aura).  This defense applies to all attacks made until the Right Head takes damage.  If Spike Shield is active when this technique is used, it ends.
Right Head
Wounds 12, Vitality 18
Armor 4, Aura 0
Combat Skill +3, Magic Skill +0
Toughness +3, Quickness +1, Mind +1
Attack Techniques (3 AP total):
Draining Bite* (0 AP): The amphisbaena lunges with a poisonous bite.  1d20+3 to hit, 1d8+3 damage.  A character damaged by this attack loses MP equal to the damage taken and the Left Head gains that many MP.
Devastating Bite* (3+ AP): The amphisbaena puts its whole neck into a horrific chomp.  1d20+5 to hit, 2d8+5 damage.  For each AP beyond 3 spent, add 1 to the damage.
Defense Techniques (3 DP total):
Spike Shield (1 DP): The attack’s damage is reduced by 3, and the attacker takes 1 physical damage (ignoring Armor).  This defense applies to all attacks made until the Left Head takes damage.  If Poison Shield is active when this technique is used, it ends.
(Note that while Aura and Armor do not help, appropriate defensive techniques can be used to reduce the damage from Poison Shield and Spike Shield if desired.)
