The axolotl is a Mexican amphibian that remains a larva throughout its life. He can regenerate parts of his body, even vital organs. Xolotl. god of fire, took the form of an axolotl and took refuge under water to hide and avoid being sacrificed. His brother (Quetzalcóatl) found him and told him: “since you refused to die, you will remain here all your life, but the day your element, water, no longer serves, you will disappear, along with the human race.”
