A Myth of Ancient Mexican origin (The Aztec), The Yohualtepozi were fearsome Demons, in Service of The God Tezcatipoca. They were 10-feet tall and had no Head. They were made of wood. Their Chest resembled a massive hinged Chest. When they walked, their Chest Doors made a frightful thudding noise (serving you announce their impending arrival). Their task was to torment Cowards. If one was Brave however, there was one way to avoid The Yohaultepozi. When their Chest Doors opened, one had to grab their Heart. Doing so, and making the threat to rip it out , showed them that you had no fear. They would grant any favor.
