Aside from ahuizotls' fearsome fifth limb, their voices also serve as exceptionally deadly weapons. Through practice and memories of past cruelties, ahuizotls exhibit a shocking capacity to mimic the sounds and voices of other creatures. While they find the sobs of the lost and imperiled the easiest to reproduce and the most useful in coaxing other creatures into aquatic ambushes, most also practice mimicry, granting them mastery over locally used languages and voices to impersonate and allowing them to create more subtle deceptions. To this end, an ahuizotl that manages to take a victim alive and that fears no threat of attack or of its prey's escape might spend as much as an hour tormenting and mocking its captive. As it does so, it listens intently, usually shooting its victim's words back in mockery until it feels it has adequately impersonated its victim's speech. The end usually comes swiftly for those an ahuizotl feels it has nothing more to gain from.
