Amphisbaena would be the right choice, though. It's the monster from Greek mythology from which this kind of creature comes, apart from the taijitu/yin-yang theme.

It was a snake with a head at each end, born from the blood of Medusa fallen from her severed head while Perseus, riding Pegasus, flew over the Lybian desert.

The "king" part of the name recalls indeed the basilisk, though, whose name means roughly "regal" in ancient Greek (basileus is the word for king or emperor).
