Lore & Legend
Fearsome skeletal star demons from Aztec cosmology, feminine spirits who dwell in the heavens and threaten to descend during solar eclipses to devour humanity. Led by the goddess Itzpapalotl, they represent the stars that battle the sun at dusk and dawn, waiting for the moment when the Fifth Sun dies to consume all living things.
