Tamed amphipteres

Worth noting that the Tlaxcala amphiptere(s) do not have any keep value set, and so cannot be kept. This has been reported ingame via bug.--Kaballah 10:54, 15 February 2010 (EST)

Wandering amphipteres

Ralnos whispers: Amphipteres have the tendency to go and hide in Tetlacana if given a few hours to move around. This means that if you want to bond one, you should try to bond it just after a reboot, because after seven or more hours, you may not be very lucky in finding one because it'll have moved out of Tlaxcala and found a nice spot far, far away from said city.

fairly sure this has since been fixed.--Kaballah 20:29, 20 March 2010 (EDT)

or maybe it hasn't--Kaballah 21:12, 20 March 2010 (EDT)
