The Ahuizotl appears in the folklore and legends of Mexico. So terrifying was this creature that even to see it was to invite death. It is usually seen as a flesh-eating creature that takes the form of a dog, but with the feet of a monkey and a human hand growing at the end of its tail. It's name means "water opossum" and it lies in wait for fishermen in the waters along the banks and rivers. It has a number of tricks by which it catches people, including making small fish and frogs leap about in the water to attract the attention of would be fisherman. The Ahuizotl than reaches out with the tail, and drags its victim beneath the water. Within three days, bodies are found floating, and are recognised as victims of the Ahuizotl by the fact that their eyes, teeth and nails are missing - these being delicacies to the monster .
