Q: To the Otomi and Chichimecs, the Milky Way was the body of one of these creatures named Camaxtli. Gukumatz, a Mayan deity who helps Huracan create the world, takes the form of this animal. During bloodletting rituals, Mayans would attempt to speak to this kind of creature, who might put them into contact with deceased relatives that would crawl out of this creatures mouth. Along with the adjective turquoise, the name of this animal is given to the weapon of the war god Huitzilopochtli. The goddess of women who die in childbirth, Coatlicue, owns a belt made from these creatures. For ten points, name this animal that was being eaten by an eagle on a cactus at the site where Tenochtitlan was built, a type of reptile with no legs.
