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:

Re: I hate the look of the 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.

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

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

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

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