Ahuizotl

Ahuizotl is a fictional character in the Daring Do book series, appearing in the episode Read It and Weep and the upcoming episode Daring Don't. He appears as an antagonist to the book series' main character Daring Do.

Design
Ahuizotl has an elongated dog-like head, except for his eyes, which are positioned over his nose at the end of his snout. He walks on all fours, with dog-like hind limbs and ape-like forelimbs, and a long monkey-like tail with a hand on its end. Ahuizotl has a tuxedo style coat, having dark blue fur over most of his body, while his stomach, lower jaw and limbs are of a lighter blue. Ahuizotl wears golden colored jewellery, such as a necklace, a single ear ring, and three bracelets, one for each foreleg, and one around his tail's wrist.

His overall appearance and name mirror the mythical creature Ahuizotl from Aztec culture.

Depiction in the series
Ahuizotl makes his debut in Read It and Weep, appearing in the latter half of the episode as a literary antagonist to Daring Do.

He takes the sapphire statue that Daring Do had obtained at much personal peril. With Daring Do having fallen, with his hand at the end of his tail, he blows a cat-shaped whistle. The whistle makes a whistling and meowing sound, summoning a tiger, a cheetah, a lynx, and a panther from the bushes. Ahuizotl laughs maniacally in victory.

Ahuizotl's next appearance in the episode sees him by an altar-bound Daring Do, continuing to gloat. Daring says, "You won't get away with this, Ahuizotl", and he replies, "But I already have." He pulls a lever on the wall, waves goodbye to Daring Do, and departs with his cats, leaving Daring to deal with spiked walls, spiders, cobras, and quicksand.

In the episode's penultimate scene, Ahuizotl is seen petting a white house-cat and proclaiming his victory. As he laughs maniacally and holds up the sapphire statue with his tail-hand, Daring Do swoops down on a vine and snatches the statue from him. Daring Do gallops away, and Ahuizotl cries out "Curse you, Daring Do!"

Ahuizotl is set to appear in the upcoming episode Daring Don't.
