Tenochtitlan lake is home to a water dwelling creature called the Hoga.

Description[]

A Hoga has a head and ears resembling a hog. It is the size of a seal. When swimming it seems to change color from red to yellow to green like a chameleon. It gives birth to live young like a whale does, so it's probably a mammal, not a fish.

Hogas are said to live close to the shore where they feed on the leaves of the hoga tree. They are highly aggressive and as dangerous as the Velachif, another strange cryptid from lake Tenochtitlan described as a snake with a beak, and will kill and eat animals larger than them, which is why they are hunted non-stop by humans.

The Hoga skin in Andre Thevet’s possession was destroyed, but fortunately he claims to have seen the creature alive in person.

Possible Explanations[]

The Hoga could be a new species of fish, amphibious mammal or just many sightings of hogs swimming around the lake, nevertheless Tenochtitlan lake is home to at least 3 different cryptids.
