Line 48:
* [[Celibate Hero]]: Quetzalcoatl. [[Brother-Sister Incest|Well, at least he USED to be.]]
* [[Dem Bones]]: The common depiction of Mictlantecuhtli is of a skeleton in the regalia of a king.
* [[Draconic Divinity]]: While described as a "feathered serpent", many portrayals of Quetzalcoatl depict him as a majestic serpentine dragon as opposed to merely a giant feathered snake.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Tzitzimitl, a group of skeleton women with [[Squick|rattlesnake penises]] (No, I don't know why they're considered female, that just adds to the [[Squick]]). Supposedly, during eclipses, the world was open for them to come down and start wreaking havoc. And there was only one way to prevent that. [[Human Sacrifice|Go on, guess]].
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: The Aztecs believed that the world we currently live in is actually the FIFTH world. There were four previous worlds destroyed, each with a different god serving as the sun. Our current sun is gonna end with an earthquake. [[Human Sacrifice|And there's only one way to prevent it]].
