Amate was feared in his community, merely for the fact that he was an alligator hybrid... He lived in a small hut on the edge of the village with a small pond surrounded by cypress trees... Everyone was told to never go over there for fear of being hurt or worse.

You were a rather rebellious teenager, one who never listened to your grandmother or even obeyed simple rules she laid out for you... So, even though everyone begged you not to go to the pond on the edge of town, you didn't listen...
