Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
South America provides all sorts of fun and interesting animals. Google is great for this.
One of my favorites is the terrible Ground Sloth, which regularly rends gringo tourists limb from limb with it's foot-long claws. It stands 12 feet tall and has an awful smell, and it's said it's lantern-like eyes can pierce your very soul...with black magic lazer beams. It can take the shape of a headless man in the light of a crescent moon, it knows whether Elvis is alive or dead, and it plays poker on every third Saturday with El Chupacabra and the Jersey Devil.
Well, ok, not exactly, but a few of the more...er...intense cryptozoologists seem to think ground sloths are a reality. Or atleast that's what they're likening the hazy descriptions of some kind of "skunk ape" to.
Might be fun to fit them into the game somewhere with one of the Mictlans.
South America is also rumored to have dinosaurs, vast snakes that live in waterfalls, various rainforest tribes who have never seen a white man before-and probably wouldn't care to, and the aforementioned El Chupacabra. There's really an immense amount of supernatural and paranormal material to draw from-enough to take any of the Mictlans in any direction desired, and with room left over for a whole 'nother set of nations.
There's even lost cities who's existence has actually been proven-as far as it goes-with satellite photography, but they're so far into the jungle that they've never been explored.
