After the images and the release date for the Obsidian Mirror DLC release date is revealed to be on April 22nd, I have seen a couple of folks here and on the forums quite upset with the Aztec myth unit choices.
Complaints like some of these units aren’t even real Aztec monsters. Or they look too weak like the drunken rabbits or the midgets lol (which isn’t really the devs fault. Rather, they should complain about the myth itself.)
I am personally happy with the current myth units and I also understand that it was just a teaser. That being said, the roly poly ping pong-esque armadillo of doom was just fantastic!
Personally, I think there might be more coming our way. However, those who have already complained probably haven’t come to terms with it.
I created an image and included some of the monsters that I hope to see in the game.
What other Aztec units do you hope to see make it into the game? And for those who are currently unhappy… what do you think of these choices?
Hope to make this an actual valid discussion and who knows? Maybe the devs would include them in the future.
If you see any mistakes then please feel free to call them out.
-EDIT-
Note: Xochitonal description error. I forgot to type the rest.
Revised version: A gigantic and terrifying iguana-like monster that was submerged in the black waters of Apanuiayo, one of the places through which the dead had to pass to reach Mictlán (basically Aztec’s version of the underworld).

I think the Cipactli will be there titan, like in the mod. I LOVE the Atotolin! It should curse the unit that landed the killing blow with a curse that will kill them instantly in 10 seconds. That would be cool 
The demon guy with bird legs looks fun too. The others I’m a bit meh about, or I think they would be too weird to pull off (but then again we go Wanyudo, so anything is possible).
Thanks for sharing

cool share!
the Atotolin could definitely look cool/intersting. but gameplaywise it sounds like Harpy idk if ppl would be happy about that.
Ixpuxtequi - and i agree here with kjohnhayes - looks and sounds cool/intersting and could bring some cool new gamplay.
Tlacanzinacantli could be definitely interesting and a bat monster/werebat could be SO cool. there could be much creative freedom in design maybe devs could feel attracted in designing this unit.
Yoaltepuztli scary stuff but a bit too boring for me. devs would need to think how to make this interesting to look and play as.
Nagual i think could be popular and could be Lykaons2.0 so definitely possible. but i would personally take them as a second options.
Tlacanexquimilli looks and sounds horryfying. but that seems to be all this unit has going. personally not a fan of it maybe good as a GP?
I think we a can all agree it will be a close run between Xochitonal and Cipactli who the new titan for Aztec is going to be. Both options sound solid and i like the idea of their designs and think they could look and play interesting (and badass).
I’m not sure if the Aztecs have a flying unit yet but if they need one then the Atotolin would be a viable choice.
From what I have read I feel like Cipactli feels more powerful than the Xochitonal. I would prefer if Cipactli became the titan to be honest.
well they seem to have at least the giant owl. but who knows. time will tell, friend!
