Civatateo 

Civatateo:  In Aztec mythology, the Civatateo were vampires. They were noblewomen who died during childbirth and, after returning to the land of the living, stalked travelers and haunted temples. They were shriveled and pale. (1)

The cihuateteo were the most vampiric of all the aztec deities.  They originated from women who died in childbirth.  They had once been mortal, had struggled with the child, and had succeeded in holding it until both died in the struggle.  Thus, they attained the status of warrior.  As demonic figures, the cihuateteo very much resembled such other vampiric figures as the lamiai of ancient Greece or the langsuyar of Malaysia.  The cihuateteo wandered the night and attacked children, leaving them paralyzed or otherwise diseased.  They held counsel with other cihuateteos at local crossroads.  Food offerings were placed at crossroads in structures dedicated to the cihuateteos so that they would gorge themselves and not attack the children; also, if the vampiric beings remained at the crossroads until morning, they would be killed by the sunlight.  In recent years the cihuateteos have been described as having white faces and chalk-covered arms and hands.  They wear the costume of Tlazolteotl, the goddess of all sorcery, lust, and evil.
