Creature Feature 046: Cihuateteo

The Cihuateteo are the spirits of women who died in childbirth. Considered to be as fierce and strong as warriors who died in battle, they return on five separate days each year to the mortal world and act as powerful malevolent forces - stealing babies, causing madness and inducing seizures in humans. Offerings should be made to them to avoid their wrath during these days.

This is the forty-sixth Creature Feature, created by Quet in 2024.
