Xiuhcoatl
The image I created is based on the Mexica mythical creature known as Xiuhcoatl which literally translates to “turquoise serpent” but is commonly referred to as “Fire Serpent” or sometimes as Xiuhtecuhtli. When referred to as Xiuhtecuhtli, it represents a weapon used by the God Huitzilopochtli. Huitzilopochtli is the Mexica(Aztec)deity of war and also represents the sun. I also associate this god with anything that represents violence since war is without violence.
