Omecuaime
In many prehispanic and colonial codices, are written stories about the fall of the Great Tenochtitlan.
Apocalyptic scenes emerge from the texts, which describe "signals in the sky": comets, sun eclipse and also, walking the very earth, the sight of monsters.
In Nahual mythology, one of the most terrible creatures was the Omecuaime, also known as Tlacanetzolli. The horrendous beast with an ashen-skinned body had two heads and four massive arms: a creepy creature releasing an unbearable stink that would literally suffocate the victim.
Anyone coming across a Omecuaime would perish under its mortal hug: the monster would extract their Tonalli (soul), squeezing it out of the victim's body, regardless of who he or she was: a merchant, a soldier, a powerful warrior, and even a monarch.
These mythical and deadly creatures will be part of the perilous world of Mictlan: An Ancient Mythical Tale... so if you see them from afar, you better run for your life.
