Some notes on MA Mictlan update

[Amhazair]

Sounds fun!

Did I ever mention I would be honored to count you amongst my friends on this forum?

(This sudden declaration obviously has nothing to do with any allaged love I might cherish over drawer-inhabiting monkies)

[llamabeast]

Why, thankyou Amhazair!

Your monkeys will be arriving soon.

[Kristoffer O]

With wings of emerald feathers they come flittering down from the skies, noicy and chittering, to rip you from the ground. In the distance an ominious voice can be heard: 'Fly, my little ones'. And you are off to meet the latin american beast of legend and the villains besieging his castle.

[llamabeast]

Interesting, Kristoffer. What should one google to find what you're referring to?

[Kristoffer O]

Winged monkies. But google probably wont say anything. I imagine Mr Burns says 'fly my little ones' to his monkies, but that might be wrong.

[RamsHead]

Mr. Burns: (To Homer) One more thing...you must find the Jade Monkey before the next full moon!
Smithers: Actually sir, we found the jade monkey. It was in your glove compartment.
Mr. Burns: And the road maps, and the driving gloves?!
Smithers: Yes, sir.
Mr. Burns:Then its all falling into place.

There is a group on Facebook which says that if the group gets 10000 members, the guy will call his son "Spider Pig" (using the power of Facebook to overrule his wife). It's on something like 9500 members now.

It sounds like the one where the guy uses facebook to call his kid 'danger'

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.

You have heard of vampire gourds, right?
I have read a more detailed source, but this is all I can find at the moment.

An entertaining webcomic that features them

Though most is subscription only... though not pricy...

I'm not sure where vampire gourds would fit in... they certainly wouldn't have any attack value to speak of, but it would be an entertaining addition to LA Ermor that provides chaff. I need to mod em in.

Even though they may hunger for blood, vampire pumpkins still don't have teeth. Beware bruised shins.
