I bought this book: www.amazon.com/Bestiario-fant%C3%A1sticos-mexicanos-fantastic-especiales/dp/6077453811/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1544558871&sr=8-2&keywords=mexican+bestiary
As you can tell, it's in Spanish. So I've been putting the (thankfully, somewhat brief) descriptions of the creatures through Google Translate. I've only done the ones that were both new to me and looked like they'd be useful for my personal projects. Perhaps I could do the others later. It's Google Translate, so take this with a grain of salt.
Chaak Aayin
Nothing and nothing for the Celestun estuary in search of a common house, this giant red lizard eats and eats until it gets soaked. Go around the dwelling and inside, the whole family faints. From the grandmother to the smallest, they fall into a deep sleep. So whole are the zampa, from the hair to the flip flops.
Junchoo
T errible and powerful, frightful goblin for him human flesh is the most appetizing. With your feet back, if you come or go, you will never know; but if in a good mood you are undoubtedly your life you will save: before your white teeth of jaguar fear you will have to dominate, only laughs out loud and fall dead you will see it.
Ziix Coosyat
G igantes from the north, peaceful and homely with height and bearing, say the locals. If you share your food, you will surely grow a lot. To heal their wounds they use an odorous ointment with whale brain and other stinky things. They are friends of the cetaceans and speak their language; to take some they ask the whale king. If you give them, they climb on it and quickly suffocate it without leaving a dent. So on moonlit night, they all take advantage of it ... And with it they feed themselves!
Tatacmo
Every fifty-seven years of the white foam of the sea comes this beautiful bird. His singing is sweet, sweet, but dangerous. Do not be fooled! You will have to protect yourself, because your playful soul is what you want to eat. In your chest with indigo a cross you must put. Thus the beautiful melody no harm can do you.
Nek
F river as early as dawn, black as nightfall ekk eats human flesh preferably of woman. Catching it is impossible, because its superhuman strength makes it indestructible. When you see it with reluctance and remember not to fear so all your power is sure to lose.
Garibau
When he leaves his lair he always looks for food and everyone: viboras, hares, people, worms ... they embark on the quick escape. His blood is hot, which I say is boiling. It withers plants, weakens animals ... If you see it, it runs like an ostrich at the speed of light! It will never reach you, because it is clumsy because of its fatness, like a starfish ... with a big armor
Vieja Chichima
With her crooked legs tender granny seems clinging to her crutch. When fried plantains cook soft, sweet and fragrant ... it's because sweet-toothed kids want to eat. To save you there is only one way because Chichima is strong and powerful: if you throw your crutch to the ground, the trickster will fall immobile as a frog in a pit, and if you run your menu it will be something else!
Quichuino
Blond and skinny are the Quichuinos, they look like a child with flaxen hair. And, like all the goblins, they make pure blunders! They can not be seen, but they can be heard, at night, on the thatched roofs, they jump out and play and romp, because they do not care a cucumber that you sleep a whiff.
Ixoxoctic
In the lagoon of Atexca every year in Semana Sanra a swirl is made. A crystalline figure emerges from its center. His hypnotic gaze has the strength of a magnet, his irresistible eyes will attract you. If you approach the whirlwind, Ixoxoctic will take out a long, greenish, viscous arm. With him you will be trapped and in the background you will be dragged where, without any other remedy, forever, you will stay …
Tlenteteyotas
They live in the rivers, they are not friendly to the men they take, they attract, they attract and they harass them to the bottom they drag them, and there they devour them. Women hear a broody hen, make a face and even give them a headache. But men, bewitched, hear a divine voice and see diamond silhouettes. To save them from a defiant death, they base a pinch or slap, which hurts, but if they return and angry, the tlanteteyotas will flee.
