The **Mictlan Woods** is a forest-like environment that can be located at any point on Scourosi, including the Outer Ring.

## Appearance

### No Evil

First visited in No Evil in Three for a Death, the woods consist out of a multitude of dead trees and are home to a few types of skeletons - four-legged skeletons, flying skeletons and burning skeletons. The core of the woods consist out of Aztec-styled homes with no exterior or interior decoration. There is no light present either, the places being illuminated by the burning skeletons who listen to Angel. An exception however, is Charles' room, which is decorated with a bed, a plush animal, some books, an ornament on the wall, a closet, a chair and a table.

Besides the usual dark forest and small village, it is revealed that the forest has other sections. It is revealed in Living Dolls that, when both Edmonia and Emily warp into the woods, a little village of toy dolls and a world of skeleton dinosaurs also exist. In Dangerous Host, it is revealed that both of the world intertwine as Emily rides to Edmonia on the head of one of the dinosaurs. Angel can also visit these places, telling them that they are free to explore and that "there are so many more places in Mictlan". In this episode, it's also shown that the place can be dangerous, as one of the dinosaurs walked off a cliff, almost killing the two girls if they weren't saved by Amaroq.

The only people known to reside/have resided in the Mictlan Woods are Ozma Angeline, Amaroq, Brom Bones, and Charles, as well as the skeletons that attack any unknown people who enter the woods.

    *"[**Mictlan**] is a place between life and death. All things that make up this world are things that lived their life and imitate that life here. Most of the time when you enter from the Living World, if you don't exit to the living world in short order, you exit to the other world instead."*

### Brother Swan

Similar to its role in No Evil, Mictlan is limited in who enters it and how. Angel reveals that she used to drive people out of Mictlan, but no longer does so, stating that anyone who successfully enters despite the difficulty of doing so has a reason for being there. Charon describes Mictlan as the place where "those who wish for the pain to end are drawn."

## Notes & trivia

* The skeletons that roam the woods are called "my dolls" by Angel.
* In a Tumblr post from May 2017, Betsy Lee confirms that the skeletons in the **Mictlan Woods** with wheels for hands and feet are a reference to the Wheelers from the Wizard of Oz books.
* Angel has revealed that there are more than three places in Mictlan, however it is unknown what they are or what they look like.
* When asked about where Mictlan is, Betsy Responded "Wherever it wants to be." This includes the outer ring of Scourosi.
