 The Camazotz of Mayan Legend
Zotzilaha was home to a type of bat called camazotz; one of these monsters decapitated the hero Hunahpú.
Camazotz has been translated as "death bat" (3) and "snatch bat" (4).
One of the most prominent and commonly mentioned features of the Camazotz is "a nose the shape of a flint knife" (12), which could be an exaggerated interpretation of the nose-leaf possessed by members of the Phyllostomidae, or leaf-nosed bats.

Camazotz ("Ruler of Bats ") was deity of the Kiches of Guatemala.
He was god of the "House of Bats," mentioned in the "Popol Vuh," a sacred book of the Kiches, and upon Hun-Ahpu and Xbalanque, the hero-gods, attempting to pass the night in his abode, he cut off the head of the former, who, however, speedily effected a cure.
The Shadow Lords accompanying Spanish Conquistadors into South America in the 1600's were greatly alarmed by the Camazotz, as their chiropteran shapes and blood rituals reminded them of the Tzimisce they historically struggle against.

Camazotz: nowdays I listn to all kinds of stuff, though my 'heyday' was that fine time during the 80's when the metal scene was at it's best, say 82-89 or so.
Camazotz: ahhhhhh now that's a profound question comerade, quite bluntly this stuff is a direct result of the dualastik clash between maya/atman, matter/antimatter.
Camazotz: I knew this was on the drawing board, but had no idea it was to be implemented at this point.

That’s exactly what it was, a female Camazotz, probably from the tribe that he watched fly overhead with his mother, and whose trades came to barter pretty beads and feathers and cloth for gator hide and teeth.
The Camazotz slept randomly, running themselves until they needed sleep, and then sleeping until they couldn’t anymore, a system that worked remarkably well, and one that Tombstone had gotten used to, just like he had eating fruits and vegetables and nuts and things besides fish and deer.
The Camazotz had raised him to be her guardian, to always watch after her, and he did his job well.

Since Camazotz were umbral travelers and cartographers, it makes sense that they would know of the Aetherial Incarnae.
The Camazotz lived primarily in areas where Bastet were dominant instead of Garou, and the Bastet do not name the Aetherial Incarnae or even travel to that Realm.
Bat, or another, better suited representation of Bat, would be the best spirit suited for Camazotz, but I see that one as a general spirit for the entire breed.

 Two Possible Cryptids From Precolumbian Mesoamerica
The Maya, the first inhabitants of the region, told of alternating cycles of creation and destruction of worlds, hidden races of men, and demons in animal form.
One of these animal-demons was called Camazotz, and he supposedly took the form of a gigantic bat.
However, based on reports of bat-like creatures from throughout the area, and the palaentological record, I surmise that, living in Mesoamerica, is not a pterosaur, as some cryptozoologists believe, but an as-of-yet unrecognized type of bat.
