Aztecs: Q--The Winged Serpent





"Q" of course stands for Quetzalcoatl the "plummed serpent"--or the God of Life in the Mesoamerican Pantheon, and his worship in the Valley of Mexico dates at least back to Teotihuacan, as the Aztecs called that ruined city.  In Larry Cohen's world, it's just simply "Q."  His winged serpent is some combination of snake, bald dinosaur and flying voracious lizard.  It apparently has a taste for high rise real estate, as it nests in the top of the Chrysler Building in NYC.






















Quetzalcoatl as a God in human form

Think this speaks for itself!
