Cipactli Crocodile

Cipactli Crocodile

Cipactli is a primeval sea monster from Aztec mythology, whose body was dismembered by the gods Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl to create the heavens and the Earth. Symbolizing the earth in the primeval waters, the creature was depicted as a crocodile-like being with an insatiable hunger and multiple mouths on its body.
