Keeterix
Caecilians Didactylus

The eyes near the mouth of the Keeterix are small, light-sensing nodules, not fully functioning eyes. For its primary wellspring of vision Keeterix uses a singular, large eye located in its "tail" where a portion of its brain resides. It is not known how these two half-brains interact, but behaviorally the Keeterix can be observed to act with the intentions of two separate animals. Indeed if the intentions of one half interfere with those of the other, this volatile animal will occasionally fight with itself. However, since each side relies on the other for survival, the animal cannot continue living if it becomes partially damaged.
