The perpetually pregnant, half-crocodile Aztec mother goddess Coatlicue was truly a sight to behold. Mother to most of the Gods, she hated her children and would attempt to devour her newborn spawn with a gaping maw where her throat should be. Delivering her children herself with her lower set of arms, she would hand them to her upper set of arms, which would in turn convey the squalling babes toward a mass of writhing, tentacle-like tongues jetting out from her throat/mouth. Once enmeshed in the tentacled mass, the children would be drawn inexorably into the the maw in her neck to be swallowed whole. She has also been known to carry conversations with her "human" mouth while eating litters of her own young.

Never able to rise from her birthing position, she would drag her posterior along the ground with her two human and four crocodile legs.

As explained in Tlazoltéotl's page, I reverse engineer many aspects of deities to show where current and historical fashion trends might have originated from. Because I was commissioned to design Coatlicue after Tlazoltéotl, I felt it would be important to show where the gods got their design sensibilities from. If the Aztec people wore feathered headdresses because their goddess of sex and filth had a floating, feathered stone hovering in front of her brow, Tlazoltéotl herself might have fashioned such an accessory to emulate a clutch of feathers growing out of her mother's forehead.
