Quoatles
Occupation:	Guardian of Quetzalcoatl
Appeared In:	The Real Ghostbusters; "The Treasure of Sierra Tamale"

Quoatles are mythical flying serpents of the Aztecs.

History

There were two Quoatles that guarded the alleged treasure of Sierra Tamale in Mexico. The first, of red plumage, was trapped by Ray Stantz when he utilized the SCEP-TECH, while the other was their would-be guide, Paco. In his true form, Paco is of purple plumage like his human form's poncho and hat.

Paco

Paco is a Quoatle able to assume human form. He guided Ray Stantz, Slimer, and Jim Venkman on their quest to find the treasure. During a battle, Paco accidentally trapped the trio behind a trap door. Slimer asked him to enlist the help of the other Ghostbusters. Paco agreed and called the Ghostbusters in New York. While in his Quoatle form, Paco manages to avoid capture by the Ghostbusters and managed to free Ray, Slimer, and Charlie. After returning to human form when the Ghostbusters defeated Quetzalcoatl, he changed back to his true form and returned to the temple. It turned out that Paco's plan was to use a group of adventurers to convince the outside world to leave the treasure of Sierra Tamale alone. While on the flight back to the States, Jim spreads his cover story that the temple collapsed as the expedition team escaped.

Powers

Quoatles have the power of flight, pyrokinesis, and shapeshifting. Without knowing it, Egon Spengler got strong readings off of Paco, while it was in human form.
