A Coatl

A Coatl is a huge flying serpent found only in Lustria [1a] and the deep jungles of the Dragon Isles [3a]

They are intelligent and are powerful Wizards. [3b] who the Old Ones directed to protect the ruins of their scared sites from any that might exploit them as part of the Great Plan. [5a]

Whilst they aid the Lizardmen in the defence of sacred sites, the dimunative copper skinned natives also hunt young Coatl who are viewed as choice delicacies, having becoem experts at hunting them down. Amazons are also often seen wearing Coatl feathers which it is assumed they gain from trade. [3b]

Appearance

They can reach 20 feet in length, their body often feathered as well as their wings whilst their head resembles that of a Dragon. [1a][2a][5a]

Artefacts

  • Cloak of Feathers: Created from shed feathers of Coatl that protects the wearer from magic and allows them to fly. [4a] Humans hunt them for their skin and feathers which can be sold for a fortune in Marienburg whilst greenskins consider them a particular delicacy. [5a]

History

Powers

It is said that they can alter the jungle to draw away invaders from sacred sites. [2a] It often appears from the skies on a thundereous wind which stirs up the undergrowth and churning up the jungle canopy. Like the Slann, adults are protected by a Shield of the Old Ones. [3b]

They have the Master of the Sacred Spaces spell which allows them to control and use terrain against enemies. [3b] Coatl have a natural aversion to anything with the taint of Chaos or Dhar. [5b]

Religion

They are associated with the god Quetzalcoatl [1a] but to the Lizardmen they are the messengers or perhaps even the Avatar of Tepok, the god of the air, magic and sacred places. Skink Priests seek their aid when such holy places are threatened by invaders. [2a][4a]

The Norse of Skeggi believe them to be Daemons of the Great Schemer but seers who have sought to converse with them in the Dark Tongue have found only death. [5a]
