Ixitxachitl
Ixitxachitl (called Devilfish in older editions, and COOAH LOOKAT THAT STINGA! by Steve Irwin) are a race of malevolent, demon-worshipping, man-eating stingrays from Dungeons & Dragons. They are infamous for having one of the most impossible-to-pronounce names in D&D, even more so than Aarakocra. Also, in case you're wondering, it's supposedly pronounced ick-ZIT-za-chit-ul, although if it were actually pronounced according to the Aztec language it's aping, it'd be more like ish-it-SHATCH-it-ulsh. Good luck with that.
A freshwater version native to the Underdark called Ixzan appear in Night Below.
