The Stinking Corpse

"The Stinking Corpse" is an Aztec myth that tells of the body of a giant, killed by the Toltecs, which released a stench that would kill anyone who smelled it. Versions of it are recorded in the Legend of the Suns (part of the Codex Chimalpopoca), the Anónimo Mexicano , Torquemada's Monarchia Indiana , and elsewhere.
