Legend has it that an ancient god of learning forwent his usual wisdom and imbibed far too much wine. In his wild cavorting that followed, he destroyed the first people of the Ixan Jungle. The next morning, horrified at his actions while drunk, he immolated himself, the power of his sacrifice bringing the destroyed people back to life. The first goules quetzalcoatls formed from the smoke of his pyre, carrying both the remnants of his drunken revelry, and pieces of his wisdom. Hence, touching a goules quetzalcoatl causes foolish drunken behavior, followed swiftly by prophecy, granting the foresight needed to avoid being foolish in the future.
Goules quetzalcoatls are creatures treated with healthy respect and mild apprehension, for their strange powers. Direct contact with one of these creatures for longer than a few seconds leads to a strange intoxication, followed shortly by a prophetic trance. Found mainly deep inside the Ixan Jungle, a notoriously difficult place to explore, these creatures are most commonly seen slithering about in the slightly more accessible ruins of Chachen Ixa, almost as if paying their respects to the statue within. Some locals make a brisk business selling jewelry made from their scales and feathers to visitors. These talismans are less potent than contact with the quetzalcoatl itself, and their power fades over time, though they are more dangerous, as a goules quetzalcoatl will generally move off of a person to wake them, while the jewelry must be physically removed - a difficult proposition while intoxicated. A few particularly enterprising locals gather and make wine from fruit half-eaten by these creatures, which is similarly intoxicating but wears off on its own.
