Fwibble is an aquatic salamander native to Mexico. In the Spanish language he is called the ajolote. The name is from the Aztec Nahuatl language, from "atl" meaning water, and "xolotl" meaning dog. He also derives his name from the Aztec God of Death Xolotl, who — according to myth — assumed fwibble's form in an effort to escape exile, and was killed while in this form. Over the years, the spelling and pronunciation have changed. He is noted for his appearance and his demonstration of neoteny, remaining in his aquatic larval form even as a sexually mature adult, and not undergoing metamorphosis into a terrestrial form.
