Eyes in the Canopy
The chameleon skinks known as the Eye of the Canopy were not followers of Sotek. They joined the Red Host as Tehenhauin led his cohorts towards Itza, appearing out of the undergrowth mysteriously. None knew the secret paths through the jungle better, and they guided the Prophet of Sotek passed numerous treacherous pitfalls and wayward beasts. Although they did not speak, nor tell of their origins, it was deemed the Eyes of the Canopy had travelled from far away. The glowing orange poison-frogs they carried secreted the deadliest venom, and were not native to any of the nearby swamps.[1a]
