Overly Narrow Superlative: Pako says that Nachi is "the coolest Koati this side of the river", and Nachi clarifies he is "the only Koati this side of the river".

Lampshade Hanging

comment
Lampshade Hanging: Nachi can't help but acknowledge that Cocopa's prophecy seems vague and unhelpful. Nachi comments that he is told to find a "lake of fire" and "the mouth that does not speak", but isn't told where. He follows the prophecy anyway.

comment
Gratuitous Foreign Language: Most of the character names are in indigenous Mesoamerican languages. Balam for example is Mayan for "jaguar". By far the most common language used is actually Zapotec; this includes Xo (earth) and the names of most of the main characters.

Snakes Are Sinister
 Koati / int_476d2edb
comment
Snakes Are Sinister: Played straight with Zaina, a coral snake who takes over after Balam's death. She leads the residents of Xo on a Fatal Forced March to "not Xo". Jithu is an anaconda who is fully aligned with Zaina's plans, and does what she tells him. This changes at the end of the movie, where he helps push down a pillar to prevent lava from entering the Mouth that Does Not Speak, where the animals are taking refuge.

Too Important to Walk: While Zaina leads a caravan of animals on a Fatal Forced March, some alligators carry Zaina on top of a large leaf. When she is called out on this, she claims it is exhausting giving orders.

The Social Darwinist: The main villain Zaina is leading all the animals on a Fatal Forced March south of Xo, and is unwilling to help any animals who run out of stamina. Contrast that with most of the residents of Xo, who immediately help others if they see a need.

Rule of Symbolism
 Koati / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: When the main villain Zaina (a coal snake) is dropped on a cactus after her defeat, an eagle comes to fight her instead of joining the other animals in the Mouth that Does Not Speak. This reassembles the eagle fighting a snake on a cactus, seen on the flag of Mexico. This symbolizes the fact that the rest of the animals have found a home in the Mouth that Does Not Speak. She is also awfully close to the lava.

Toilet Humor: Early on, Pako makes jokes about the fact that his organs are visible from under his skin, which grosses out the younger animals. Later, a bird poops on him, and he interprets it as a good omen from Cocopa, which just makes Nachi feel nauseous.
