My great aunt from my mom's side said that as a teenager in the mountains of jalisco she saw a horned feather serpant while traveling between towns
>"so it was the scales that made it look like feathers?"
>"no no it was feathered like a chicken, and it was horned and thorny"
>proceed to show her various snakes from the internet for 10 minutes
>gets frustrated becuase I dont believe her
>insists it was FEATHERED and horned like a devil
Its not very /x/ since I chalked it to age, superstition and ignorance (due respect to her im just using the word in context) and the lens of fear. I have never found any into about feathered serpant in Mexico, or a horned/thorny one; but you never know. There could be a horned feathered serpant, sons of quetzalcoatl, slithering around in Mexico at this moment
