The ahuizotl (water dog) is a legendary creature in Aztec mythology. It is said to lure people to their deaths. The creature was taken as an emblem by the ruler of the same name, and was said to be a "friend of the rain gods". It is a dog-sized, black, aquatic creature with pointed ears, smooth fur that clumps into spikes when wet, and raccoon-like hands on its limbs and at the end of its tail.
