| ==Description==
| |
| A couatl resembles a long, feathered serpent with a pair of rainbow-feathered wings that allow it to fly. Its powerful mind is capable of great psionic might.
| |
|
| |
| ==Society==
| |
| Couatls are usually solitary, though they will sometimes gather in small groups. They are highly dedicated to an asexual deity named [[Jazirian]], though they have no true priests among their ranks, as Jazirian grants each couatl enough power and wisdom of their own.
| |
|
| |
| ==Creative origins==
| |
| "Couatl" is derived from [[Quetzalcoatl]].
