Ahuizotl (Quintoura mexicanum) is the mythical creature introduced in Weather Dragons: Modern Disaster and introduced in Worldcraft: Trio Origins.

Etymology

Ahuizotl is frrom the Classical Nahuatl: āhuitzotl for "spiny aquatic thing", a.k.a. "water dog".

Physical Appearance

Ahuizotl is a capuchin monkey that resembles a dog and has extensions on its tail that function as its fifth leg. Its body color ranges from peach to yellowish. The brown to black claws can be utilized for anything else. They use mahogany, brown, black, gray, and white fur for Ahuizotl. Other New World monkeys have ears that resemble those of humans. Brown eyes are the eye color of Ahuizotl.

Abilities

Ahuizotl used all of their limbs, including their prehensile tail, which they employed as a third limb in addition to their hands and feet. Ahuizotl is home to a wide variety of fruits, including guava, avocado, manchineel, cherimoya, sugar apple, cocoa, and even the fabled poison apple. Ahuizotl is a highly intelligent creature that employs lianas and trees as part of its environmental strategy to avoid human traps.


Ahuizotl requires other people's eyes in order to see since it has closed its eyes and relied solely on its ears and nose during near-death experience mode. To prevent the Ahuizotl from stealing their eyes, the villagers appear to sacrifice other people's eyeballs to it.

Ecology

Ahuizotl females give birth to one or two offspring after between 130 and 230 days of gestation. They are gregarious and cooperative creatures that create groups of three to fifty members, with the larger species often forming larger groups. Unlike their relatives, they can swim and are often nocturnal in behavior. Large birds of prey and other predators are significant natural adversaries of Ahuizotl infants. They are so terrified of the birds that they even panic when a different, non-threatening bird flies by.


There could be more Ahuizotl in the bush. These are the "thousand eyes" that it has taken. It has been observed that this creature will eat any soft, delicate part of a living thing, despite the fact that its primary food source is the essence of eyes to make blind people (although many conservationist hunters born with strange abilities are protected from being blinded by Ahuizotl thanks to their deity genes).

Behavior

Ahuizotls are intelligent, circumspect, and fiercely loyal to their home or their kin. The ahuizotl had two ways to lure victims to the water when it hadn't successfully captured a human in a while. It could make a wail like a human infant, luring people to their deaths. Additionally, it can make every frog and fish in the body of water jump to the surface, luring fishermen to the edge of the water.

Distribution and Habitat

Mexico is home to the native Ahuizotl, which is also found in neighboring nations where it is an invading or migrating species. Ahuizotl inhabits a variety of habitats, including mangrove, semideciduous, and tropical rainforests. In general, locations with evergreen forests have higher Ahuizotl numbers.

Lore

1486–1502 AD

The animal was taken as a mascot by the ruler of the same name, Ahuitzotl, who was the eighth Aztec ruler, the Huey Tlatoani of the city of Tenochtitlan, the son of princess Atotoztli II, and was said to be a "friend of the rain gods". Ahuizotl took his name from the animal ahuizotl, which the Aztecs considered to be a legendary creature in its own right rather than a mere mythical representation of the king.
