'''Quezovercoatl,''' also known as the "Feathered Boa," is a [[demons|demon]] from [[hell]] who has convinced a tribe in [[Klatch]] to worship him as their [[god]] and perform mass human sacrifices in his honor.

Quezovercoatl has a body shape that is a mixture of many beasts, specifically half man, half chicken, half jaguar, half serpent, half scorpion, and half mad. Some will calculate that this makes him a total of three homicidal maniacs. He is, unlike the monstrous statue depictions, very small. He achieved the appearance of a fierce and impressive god to the [[Tezuman Empire|Tezumans]] by manifesting in priests' dreams so that people could not see how small he was.

Quezovercoatl was inadvertently bodily discarnated by [[The Luggage]]. This is serious; you can't get issued with a new body just like that.<sup>1</sup> The bureaucracy of [[Hell]] make receiving a replacement body it as difficult as getting a new pen out of a bloody-minded secretary who hates her job and holds the only key to the stationery cupboard. This is a drawback for a working demon in the physical universe.

Quezovercoatl appears in {{E}}.

==Annotations==
The name is taken directly from [[wikipedia:Quetzalcoatl|''Quetzalcoatl'']], an Aztec god on [[Roundworld]], with the addition of 'over' in the middle to make it overcoat.

Quetzalcoatl was the principal god of the Aztec pantheon, and played an important role in most Mesoamerican theologies. He was a benefactor, and like his [[Discworld]] counterpart, was supposed to come back to take back the empire. The most common image of him is as a serpent with feathers - or a, er, Feathered Boa Constrictor. A ''feather'' boa is a woman's accessory resembling a long scarf made of plumage, usually dyed a bright colour.

===Footnotes===
<sup>1</sup>[[Anthony Crowley|Crowley]] pointed out the direness of such a situation at a critical stage in {{GO}}, when he and [[Aziraphale]] faced such a fate.
