Yohualtepoztli
This is the story of one of the most frightening beings in Tenochtitlan: it exists to torment nocturnal travelers, a beast that appears to the ones who dare to walk alone at night.
A humanoid creature, that has no head. Its chest is wide open: a revolting, bloody cavity displaying its heart, trapped in the ribcage.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
You'll hear it coming, like an axe being driven into wood.
That's where the name of the Yohualtepoztli comes from: yohualli, “night”, and tepoztli, “axe”.
Faced with this creature, there's little you can to: either flee or try to rip its heart off its chest.
So, what will it be?
