MYTHOLOGY MEME || Legendary Creatures (2/8) ↬ Tzitzimimeh

In Aztec mythology, the Tzitzimimeh were a group of star goddesses who were responsible for solar eclipses. Depicted as skeleton women, their leader was Itzpapalotl ("obsidian butterfly" in Nahuatl), a warrior goddess and queen of Tamoanchan. During solar eclipses, the Tzitzimimeh were said to descend to earth to devour humans.

Itzapapalotl

La mariposa esqueleto que domina el país de Tomoanchan, la sombra es su hogar, pero su camino no es el del mal.La renovación de la vida viene con la muerte, la naturaleza tiene su rumbo, no hay que jugar con ella

Itzpapalotl

Origin: Aztec Mexico

Type: Divine butterfly creature

Her name meaning 'Clawed butterfly', or 'Obsidian Butterfly', Itzpapalotl had a skeletal body with eagle like claws and sharp tips on her butterfly wings. She was the protector of midwives and women in labor.

She is the ruler of Tamoanchan, the paradise world where babies who died at birth reside, along with female fertility figures.
