The Alebrije

Creatures native to the mystic realm of Tlālōcān, or Land of the Dead, alebrijes (or tonales) act as psychopomps, or spirit guides to the land of the dead. It is said that every person has an alebrije, but simply cannot see it until they are in the Realm of the Dead. However, it is possible for a magic user to summon their alebrije to act as their familiar.

The forms of alebrijes are as varied as the souls of human beings; they often appear as a colorful menagerie of various animal parts that reflect the personality of the human it's associated with.
