Dear Mictlan fans, today we want to show you a preview of one of Mictlan's legendary creatures, the Ahuizotl.
"Espinoso de agua'' (Thorny One of the Water) is the meaning of its name in Nahuatl. It was the size of a coyote, with small pointed ears, a long tail and a kind of human hand at the end of the tail.
This creature lived in the deep springs of the waters, hunting many fishermen's sleep.
It would use its long, prehensile tail to grab its unsuspecting victims to pull them under the water. It would hold them there, until they drowned. The Ahuizotl would then feast on its prey's eyes, nails and teeth, leaving the rest of the body floating in the water.
Which one is your favorite variation?
