The first Alebrije to appear when Miguel first crosses the bridge is a large feathered serpent. This is possibly a nod to Quetzalcoatl (also known as Kukulkan or Q'uq'umatz), a prominent deity in several mesoamerican cultures. This deity had a temple built in his honor, El Castillo, located in the ancient city of Chichen Itza, which is one of the 8 wonders of the modern world, located in the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. The step pyramid also resembles the structure that the creature lands on and that connects the marigold bridges. It's interesting to note that its head resembles Rex the toy dinosaur from the Toy Story franchise.
