IxrTXACHITL

lxitxachitl (pronounced ick-zit-zah-chit-ul) are aquatic

creatures resembling manta rays, with small, clawed

hands at the ends of their "wings'' and black eyes

gleaming with sinister intelligence. Many creatures

mistake ixitxachitl for common manta rays, but this can

prove a deadly mistake. The ixitxachitl are as evil as

they arc cunning, leading to their common nickname

"demon rays." They inhabit bodies of fresh and salt

water, but their violent nature means that little is

known of them.

Struggle for Survival. lxitxachitl emerge from eggs

as tiny creatures little more than a hand span in width.

From that time onward, they struggle to survive a t all

costs, growing throughout their lives. Those ixitxacbitl

that master the secrets of survival gain powers

of regeneration and feed on the life force of other

creatures.

All Consuming. Ixitxachitl hollow out coral reefs or

other natural aquatic formations to create labyrinthine

dens, often compelling aid from captured aquatic

species they enslave. They typically strip an area bare

before moving on 10 new fertile grounds, leaving their

abandoned dens behind. Schools of ixitxachitl often war

on other aquatic creaLUres to claim feeding grounds and

territory.

Demon Worshiper s. The ixitxachitl venerate and

serve various demons, particularly Demogorgon, whom

they consider their patron and creator. They have an

intense rivalry with the merrow over which of them are

the greatest and most favored servants of the Prince

of Demons.
