Ananshea (The Skin That Walks on Teeth)Source Divine Mysteries pg. 320Carnage and destruction are the domains of Ananshea. Their appetite for cruelty and violence can’t be met by the simplicity of battle, and so they must torment their foes before they can be even somewhat satisfied with victory. The Skin that Walks on Teeth is as impulsive and untamed as the animals they reign over, but takes their time once the initial skirmish is over to inflict the most pain possible upon a captured opponent. Screams of pain are akin to music to Ananshea; they despise long stretches of time without their favorite melody, so they are constantly on the hunt for prey.
Ananshea rules over a walled area of Xibalba filled with traps that tear limbs apart and pierce both body and mind, every intricate detail designed to torture the unfortunate souls who find themselves trapped in their territory. Their worshippers, violent and sadistic creatures devoted to bloodshed, roam the countryside in search of anyone they can cause pain in veneration of their god. This is most often done via torture, though violent deaths are also accepted. If there is a lack of possible victims, Ananshea’s cultists will turn on each other to appease their deity and their own sadistic desires.
The Skin That Walks on Teeth appears as a disembodied streak of red filled with dozens of gnashing animal jaws.
