Ahuizotl

Mythology: Aztec

Habitat: Near water 

        Ahuizotl is described as a small dog with black, shiny and smooth rubberlike skin. They hands capable of manipulation with an additional hand on its tail. Leftover corpses were often found completely unscathed but always left toothless, with empty eye sockets and mutilated digits. Weeping like an abandoned infant, it would lay in wait for a meal underneath a water tavern. Their Victim's would be snatched up and they would then carry the poor victim under water to its home deep in the caves. There it would feed, happily indulging on its favorites tidbits- the nails, eyes and teeth.
