Default Re: I hate the look of the Mother of Serpents

The above image has really kind of grown on me-not as a replacement for Mother of Serpents, but as an interesting critter. So I've turned her into a usable Titan-sized sprite, if anyone wants to put her in the game, possibly as a Pretender. I removed her sword and just gave her another claw, for balancing purposes. I'm naming her 'Ophidian Queen' to differentiate her from Mother of Serpents:

The above file is a .bmp and easier to turn into a useable file, but here's a file that's viewable in this thread (the BMP should be of better quality):

CHALCHIUHTOTOLIN: God of Pestilence. He is the Precious Night Turkey and a God of Mystery.

It is a mystery we have been unable to unravel. There is a picture of him in the Codex Borbonias that is so utterly weird it must be seen to be disbelieved. In the midst of seemingly undecipherable symbols he is dressed in a turkey suit and seems to be vomiting into a large pot.

We may need to come back to this later, but not without a stiff drink or two first.
I can't stop cracking up at this.

Here's a better image, which actually has a human in a turkey suit vomiting into a pot.

It also goes on to explain why there's a guy in a turkey suit, but that's not important.

I don't think I want to see that image

Chalchiuhtotolin looks hung over. He should definitely show up in the game with a short range, low damage, area 1 acid attack...

Then again, he already looks like an attack of bad acid.

Please don't smite me, mighty Chalchiuhtotolin! Great God of overeating on thanksgiving!

After the comments, Chalchiuhtotolin is an avatar of Tezcatlipoca, and a benign one. He is not vomiting but uttering a stream of jewelled or sacred water. Maybe it could be kind of Heal Spray instead of Acid. Plus Awe, Animal Awe and Terror, the Turkey's gaze, a natural ability to collect blood slaves due to his symbolic posture as a media for man/god/man exchanges via ritual and sacred liquids : blood & water.

This one is great anyway. I want it in the game !!

it seemed to me that he was drinking through a giant invisible bendy straw but more importantly what is that guy in the background doing with that snake? *shudder*
