Eagle and Jaguar warriors
The largest warrior society was that of the Eagles (quauhtin) and the Jaguars (ocelomeh) . They dressed as the animal they took their name from, some wearing pelts of large felines and others adorned in eagle feathers. Many of these warriors are depicted as statues and in codices. Aztec poetry also frequently applies the diphrasal metaphor "In cuauhtli, in ocelotl" (the eagles, the jaguars) to refer to nobles in war. The Headquarter of the Eagles and Jaguars was the Quauhcalli "the Eagle House" located in the ceremonial precinct in Tenochtitlan.
