  - 1: Quetz Coatl

These sacred feathered serpents tirelessly serve the powers of knowledge and justice. Some operate directly as messengers and intermediaries of the deities, while others operate independently in aiding the cause of righteousness. Either way, they watch over mortals and try to influence and aid them from the shadows, shifting from plane to plane to spread wisdom and healing where they are needed. Some quetz coatls are worshipped as divinities in remote or isolated societies, and while they do not encourage such veneration, they use the trust placed in them to foster peace and cooperation with others.

Quetz coatls are typically 10 to 20 feet long and weigh nearly a ton, with iridescent blue and green scales. Their glorious wings of rainbow-hued feathers span 15 feet. They are carnivorous, feeding on birds, mammals, and even the occasional malicious humanoid.
