	The '''Couatl''' are [[monster]]s in [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. They are large winged serpents (12' long with a 15' wingspan) who act as agents of the forces of good, spreading hope and happiness wherever they go.

The '''Couatl''' are [[monster]]s in [[Dungeons & Dragons]].

	Couatl were created from the blood of their goddess [[Jazirian]] after her injury at the dawn of creation at the teeth of her brother [[Asmodeus\|Ahriman]]. From the drops of blood that hit heaven sprung the Couatl; fully formed, wise and with great magical power. They live on the Material [[Plane]] in warm jungles where they are sometimes revered by the locals as gods. Those whom they deem worthy and have the right skills might be selected to be trained in the ways of Couatl magic and become [[~~Prestige class\|~~Rainbow ~~Servants~~]], being versed in both arcane and divine magic.

	The Couatl owe their mythological inspiration to the Aztec god [[Quetzalcoatl]], known as the Feathered Serpent and repeatedly depicted as a winged snake with rainbow colored feathers in lieu of scales. Their alignment connotations are because Quetzalcoatl is generally perceived as the only "good" god of the Aztecs, since he was the only one who did ''not'' demand human sacrifice. This makes him pretty unique; the god of rain demands children be drowned in sacred wells in order to bring the rain, whilst the god of the harvest had people skinned alive in his honor, for example.

	In [[Eberron]] the Couatl serve a different role. They fought alongside the [[dragon]]s during the Age of [[Demon]]s, roughly 100.000 years prior to the founding of the Kingdom of Galifar (YK), in turn just under 1000 years prior to the time [[3.5e]]'s Eberron gets started. Most of them sacrificed themselves to lock away the Rajah of the Rakshasa, some of the most powerful demon lords in existence. It is theorized that the combined power of their souls are the source of power of the Church of the Silver Flame, but Church ministers try to downplay this and state that all noble souls have their place within the Flame. The couatl who survive are righteous and guard the prisons of the Rajahs and other such sites. If they do not fight evil themselves they can use their channeling ability to empower a mortal when they need aid.		In [[Eberron]] the Couatl serve a different role.
