#Xicalcoatl
xicalampros
xicalcoatl was said to be a black shiny snake, so i based them on Lampropeltis getula nigrita (altough iNaturalist says its now Lampropeltis splendida ssp. nigrita ) known as the mexican kingsnake, they have no venom and mainly feed on other snakes and small animals by constricting them

based on the myth of xicalcoatl, a river snake with a jicara (bowl) on top, they would use the bowl to attract the attention of people and lure them deep into the river where it would trap and drown them
